Platform team Tech Lead

Our Barcelona-based C&I tribe mission is “We provide services, tools, expertise, and support to give Adevinta developers a best-in-class cloud-native developer experience. We make it easy and efficient to ship and operate secure, flexible, and scalable solutions for Adevinta's customers”

The OrkA team is part of the Cloud Platform and is the glue between Continuous Integration and the runtime. It is specifically responsible for Continuous Deployment including advanced deployment features, Kubernetes Abstraction, and our MultiCluster Kubernetes API. Our focus is software development applied to Infrastructure and more specifically to Kubernetes. Our plan for the future is to focus more on technical leverage by transitioning from in-house developed tools to generally accepted industry standards.

Our style: in OrkA we are proud of being a collaborative team in which everybody is important, everybody is empowered, and everybody has a voice. We make decisions together and really practice both “Radical Candor” and “Disagree and Commit”. We support each other and we give our best to provide value for the company.

We are looking for a Technical Leader with knowledge on both development and SRE skills, because the team mainly develops integrations and abstractions on top of Kubernetes. We are looking for an enthusiastic and resilient person. Somebody who can get the technical respect of the team and convince them to follow her/him.

We're Adevinta, a global leader in digital marketplaces. Our household name brands, including Marktplaats in the Netherlands, mobile.de in Germany and leboncoin in France, reach hundreds of millions of people every month.

Our brands are supported by global Tech Hubs in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. Their goal is to develop common global products and innovation platforms which all of our brands can use.
