Platform Engineer - NL Based

Your new company

We are New10, a financial service scale-up initiated by ABN AMRO Bank. At New10 we believe that business financing should be easy and accessible. Our purpose is to empower businesses to access the funding they need. Though our mission is simple, our ambition is bold: become the #1 engine powering North-West European SMEs.

We are on a quest to transform the financing ecosystem by using the speed and innovative strength of a fintech with the expertise and funding of a bank to deliver a fast, simple, and clear financing experience to SME businesses. To support our growth towards this ambition, we’re looking for a Platform Engineer.

Your new role

You'll join the Platform team, a small group of engineers who own the foundations that help every product team at New10 ship faster, more securely and at lower cost. We own the foundational layers for AWS, CI/CD, Developer Tooling and Observability. In this role you'll focus on developer experience. You'll make the everyday work of our engineers smoother: faster feedback loops, fewer manual steps, and, as your own initiative, a golden path from idea to production. Engineers will be your customers.
We work with a lot of autonomy. You'll get real ownership from day one, and teammates will help you sharpen your ideas and grow your scope over time. In practice, that means:

• Own our golden path initiative: define how a new service at New10 should be built and shipped, turn our internal standards (CI/CD, observability, security) into templates teams actually want to use, and measure adoption to keep improving the path
• Build and improve internal developer tooling, such as CLIs, templates, service scaffolding and automation, that speeds up work across engineering
• Improve our CI/CD pipelines so builds are faster, more reliable and easier to understand
• Evaluate new tools, run small experiments, and help engineering teams adopt what works
• Write clear documentation so teams can help themselves
• Contribute to our AWS and infrastructure foundations as the tooling needs it

Requirements

We’re looking for someone who has…

• 3+ years of experience in a platform, DevOps, or software engineering role with a strong interest in developer productivity
• Solid coding skills in TypeScript, Python and/or Go. You build tools, not just glue scripts
• A product mindset: you treat engineers as your users and measure whether your work actually helps them
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and with improving shared pipelines
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools in your daily work
• Working knowledge of AWS and infrastructure as code (We <3 Terraform)
• Clear communication and a willingness to drive adoption, not just ship the tool

Nice to have:

• Experience with internal developer portals (e.g. Backstage) or platform engineering practices like golden paths
• Familiarity with serverless and event-driven architectures (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, Step Functions)
• Experience with developer productivity metrics (e.g. DORA, build times, lead time)
• Exposure to observability tooling (logging, tracing, metrics)
• A security-conscious approach to tooling and pipelines (secrets handling, least privilege)
