Job Description
Catawiki is an online auction house specialising in quirky, one-off collectibles, selling well over 100,000 curated pieces each week. This Platform Engineer opening sits in the company's Platform group, which has grown from cloud operations into a wider remit spanning uptime, developer experience, safety and quality assurance.
The engineer builds tooling so that product teams can release and run their own software without handling infrastructure detail. Typical work includes creating a self-service developer platform, running Kubernetes clusters plus other cloud resources while watching spend, refining CI/CD pipelines and GitOps routines, and expanding monitoring so platform faults surface quickly. The role mixes development, infrastructure and operations.
Working arrangements are hybrid, with at least two days a week at the Lisbon hub. The listing states that candidates from anywhere can apply, and that visa and relocation support may be available where eligible. Catawiki describes itself as a diverse, growing scale-up with over 800 people.

- Create a self-service developer platform so teams can deploy and monitor their own services
- Operate Kubernetes clusters plus other cloud resources, keeping an eye on performance and spend
- Refine CI/CD pipelines, GitOps routines and reusable deployment templates
- Introduce safeguards for failover, disaster recovery and scaling
- Extend monitoring and handle platform incidents before they spread
- Partner with product squads to learn what they need and ship simple fixes
Requirements
- Five or more years running production systems on Kubernetes and a public cloud (GCP, AWS or Azure)
- Experience automating delivery workflows with Terraform or Ansible
- Hands-on familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or OpenTelemetry
- Willingness to own platform problems and design for long-term resilience
- A collaborative approach that brings developers and other teams onto shared goals
Qualifications
- Curiosity about the fast-changing cloud-native tooling landscape
