About the role
As Senior Platform Engineer, you’ll shape our internal developer experience platform from the ground up.

* Improve developer experience by enhancing onboarding processes and streamlining local development workflows
* Lead our backend migration from Heroku to AWS alongside the engineering team
* Continuously improve our infrastructure by applying AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices
* Advise product teams on service architecture improvements (e.g. API gateway standardization)
* Support our YBIYRI culture by empowering engineers to fully own, build, and run their services
Who you are
* Proven experience building and scaling cloud infrastructure on AWS, ideally in a fast‑growing environment (e.g. from 10 to 50+ engineers)
* Strong hands‑on knowledge of IaC tools like Terraform (CDK or CloudFormation is a plus), and CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions or Jenkins
* Solid backend engineering background, ideally in TypeScript/Node.js, with a deep understanding of APIs, databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and caches (Redis)
* Fluent in infrastructure fundamentals, including Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, networking, and shell scripting
* Excellent communication skills and high proficiency in English; able to work cross‑functionally and support a collaborative engineering culture
* Pragmatic, proactive, and self‑driven, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to empower others
What you can expect at Perspective

Only with team effort, we can create something great. We believe in our team and therefore, give them much responsibility. Even if we fail, we learn from it, get back up and continue to succeed. It is part of the game and we know it.

* Best Equipment & Remote Budget | Our company is build on the USP of quality and we want to keep it that way. To keep up the quality, we only provide the best equipment to our team: For example, every new team member receives an Apple MacBook Pro for their work and a monthly remote working budget.
* Team Events | We know working solely remotely can make it difficult to build a strong team spirit. However, at Perspective we focus deeply on team building by hosting various team events throughout the year. We understand the need of interaction face‑to‑face and strongly encourage it.
* Cordial & passionate team | Last, but not least, we are the most cordial team you can imagine. We love working together, respect each other and always value each others opinions. We care deeply about our team members and are always down for a good virtual after work hangout.
