Purpose and Scope:

As a Platform Engineer of a team of individuals in Enterprise platforms, you will be a crucial player in driving our digital initiatives forward in our agile organization. Our agile operating model consists of two components – Digital Capability and Digital Execution. Digital Execution are about aligning multiple missions around business goals and facilitating collaboration on a larger scale. Digital Capability, on the other hand, focus on the growth and development of individuals within a specific expertise area. This dual structure enables us to scale agile practices efficiently while maintaining a focus on both product development and individual skill enhancement.

As an Azure DevOps Platform Engineer you will design, build and operate Azure cloud environment(s) for our organization. This role involves a blend of technical expertise, business acumen, and a deep understanding of Azure DevOps. You will architect and build the environment(s) together with the business according to the requirements you’ve discussed and you’ll also operate the environment and keep improving it.

The goal is to ensure the platform is optimized to support business goals, enhance efficiency, and drive growth. You will be at the forefront of implementing innovative solutions and will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies in your field.
