Platform Engineer (Focus: Cloud & Connectivity)

The future looks like you

With over 1,300 stores in 17 European countries and more than 25,000 employees, C&A is one of Europe’s leading fashion retailers. Every day, C&A welcomes millions of visitors to its stores in Europe and to its online shop. C&A offers quality and long-lasting fashion at affordable prices for
the many. We are building on more than 180 years of experience in the fashion industry and continuously modernize the company to become an omnichannel fashion retailer.

As a Platform Engineer, you build the foundation that accelerates our digital transformation. You enable product teams by providing a secure, scalable Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and modern cloud connectivity, balancing developer autonomy with operational excellence.

Your responsibilities

• Build the Platform & Automate: Design and evolve our Internal Developer Platform to improve developer experience. Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and robust CI/CD pipelines to automate provisioning and deployment.
• Cloud Architecture & Connectivity: Architect scalable solutions on AWS and connect them with the enterprise landscape. You design the "glue" (APIs, Event-Driven Architectures) that makes data flow securely between systems.
• Reliability & Security: Ensure our systems are observable (Monitoring/Logging) and secure by design. You integrate compliance and security controls directly into the platform workflow.
• Collaboration & Innovation: Work closely with architects and dev teams to define "Golden Paths." You scout new technologies to continuously modernize our stack.

What you bring

• Cloud Native: Experience with public cloud (AWS preferred) and container ecosystems (Kubernetes/Docker).
• Automation First: You hate doing things twice manually. You are proficient in IaC (Terraform) and CI/CD logic.
• Connectivity: Understanding of APIs, Integration patterns, or Event Streaming (e.g., Kafka) is key to our landscape.
• Coding Skills: You can write scripts or tools (Python, Go, or similar) to glue systems together.
• Mindset: You are a problem solver who values clean architecture and helps others succeed.
• Professional experience in Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, or DevOps.
• Degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in agile environments
