Platform Engineer

Enable scalable engineering workflows across our global AI and data platform

Are you a Platform Engineer who enjoys building scalable internal platforms, enhancing the developer experience, and empowering engineering teams through automation and standardization? Do you thrive in modern cloud-native environments where CI/CD, observability, and self-service engineering are central to the platform strategy?

We are looking for a Platform Engineer to join the Global Platform Team at HeadFirst x Impellam Group. In this role, you will design, build, and evolve the platform capabilities that enable teams to efficiently develop, deploy, and operate workloads across our Headless Data Architecture (HDA) and Custom Apps Infrastructure (CA).

Your impact

As a Platform Engineer, you play a key role in shaping the engineering foundations behind our global Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform. You work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and developer enablement, ensuring that teams can build and operate scalable workloads without needing deep expertise in the underlying infrastructure.

You will contribute directly to our Headless Data Architecture (HDA), a modular, API-first platform built on Azure and Databricks, as well as the surrounding Custom Apps Infrastructure (CA) that powers integrations, applications, and operational workflows across the organization.

A key part of your role is creating reusable engineering standards and self-service platform capabilities. You design best practices for CI/CD, deployment workflows, observability, and infrastructure provisioning, helping teams accelerate delivery while maintaining consistency, scalability, and reliability.

You work closely with Cloud Engineers, Data Engineers, AIOps Engineers, and development teams across the organization to streamline platform operations and continuously improve the developer experience.

At the same time, you’ll help build a scalable and future-proof engineering ecosystem that integrates automation, observability, and operational excellence into the platform from day one.

What you will do

• Define and implement best practices for engineering workflows, including data pipelines, APIs, and AI workloads

• Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities such as templates, automation, and onboarding workflows

• Standardize CI/CD workflows and engineering tools across teams

• Collaborate with cloud engineers to simplify infrastructure complexity into reusable platform patterns

• Integrate observability capabilities—including logging, metrics, and distributed tracing—using Grafana and OpenTelemetry

• Implement alerting and operational feedback loops to improve platform reliability

• Support engineering teams in adopting platform standards and best practices

• Improve the developer experience by reducing friction in build, test, and deployment processes

• Maintain and enhance platform tooling, deployment workflows, and automation capabilities

• Help resolve incidents and drive continuous improvements in platform reliability

• Collaborate with AIOps engineers to improve AI evaluation and operational workflows on Databricks

About the role

You will be part of a growing Global Platform Team that plays a central role in the transformation of HeadFirst x Impellam into a scalable, AI-powered, and cloud-native organization.

Working with technologies such as Azure, Databricks, GitHub Actions, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry, you help build the engineering platform that enables teams across Cloud, Data, and AI to deliver solutions faster and more reliably.

This role offers a strong combination of platform engineering, developer enablement, and exposure to modern cloud-native engineering practices in a highly collaborative international environment.
