Staff Engineer, EU Infrastructure

The role

You will set technical direction for shared AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure and lead large initiatives from design through rollout and operation. You will focus on GPU infrastructure for AI and ML workloads, and also mentor engineers and write and review production code.

What you will do

• Set technical direction for shared AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, balancing reliability, security, developer experience and cost.
• Lead substantial initiatives from design through rollout and operation, coordinating across Wolt, Deliveroo and DoorDash, focusing on GPU workloads.
• Evolve Kubernetes clusters, cloud networking, identity and infrastructure provisioning.
• Build reusable Terraform patterns and self-service tooling for safe, consistent provisioning.
• Improve deployment and operational practices, including GitOps, observability, capacity planning, incident response and recovery.
• Use production signals and developer feedback to find platform friction and measure whether changes help.
• Support the platform with deep focus on GPU infrastructure and broad focus on compute in general.
• Sunset legacy infrastructure and tooling and reduce toil.
• Mentor engineers through design reviews, implementation and incidents.

Required qualifications

• Deep experience building and operating Kubernetes and AWS infrastructure in production.
• Strong software engineering skills in Go, Python or a similar language.

• A track record of leading complex technical work across teams, including architecture, delivery and operational follow-through.
• Strong judgment on trade-offs in distributed systems, networking, security, reliability and cloud cost.
• Clear communication and the ability to bring people together around a practical technical direction.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with GPU workloads and orchestration.

Benefits

• Scope and influence over infrastructure used globally.
• Real problems at global scale: multi-cluster Kubernetes, AI/ML workloads, cloud networking, GitOps and progressive delivery.
• Autonomy and ownership from design to operation.
• Growth in technical leadership or cross-domain influence.
• Work with talented engineers and leaders in a diverse, international environment.

Before you apply
