Software Product Delivery and Security er Vestas' platform engineering og DevOps enablement team, der er ansvarligt for at bygge, drive og udvikle den interne udviklingsplatform – den delte infrastruktur, værktøjer og praksisser, som hundreder af applikationsudviklere på tværs af flere produktdomæner er afhængige af for at udvikle, levere og drive deres softwareleverancer.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S forsyner platformen, som Vestas Wind Systems A/S' ingeniører anvender dagligt, og de byggesten og integrationer, der understøtter deres CI/CD-pipelines, observerbarhed og operationelle praksisser i tæt samarbejde med udviklingsteamene.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S leder efter en Senior Platform Engineering Specialist til Vestas Wind Systems A/S' interne platform engineering team, hvor du vil tage dybt teknisk ejerskab af de mest komplekse dele af Vestas Wind Systems A/S' interne udviklingsplatform og forme, hvordan den udvikler sig. Dette er en rolle for en, der har set, hvordan platforme lykkes og fejler i stor skala, og som ved, hvad der skal til for at bygge og drive en, der ikke står i vejen.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S er et lille, tæt sammentømret team fordelt mellem Aarhus, Danmark, og Porto, Portugal. Alle ejer et reelt domæne og arbejder med en høj grad af professionalisme, men Vestas Wind Systems A/S forbliver tæt koordineret og tager hinandens problemer alvorligt.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and long-term technical direction for core platform capabilities — Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, secrets management, and source code hosting
- Manage and deliver complex platform migrations and major technical initiatives end-to-end, from design through production
- Set platform-wide standards and engineering practices and promote their adoption across development teams
- Act as the primary technical authority on platform decisions, balancing reliability, security, and developer experience
- Represent the platform in cross-team architecture forums and align on technical direction with senior engineering stakeholders
- Identify systemic risks and implement proactive platform improvements before they escalate into incidents
- Mentor and grow mid-level team members through code review, pairing, and architectural discussions
Qualifications
- 7+ years of practical experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering in production environments
- Deep experience with Kubernetes, including cluster management, network configuration, RBAC, storage, workload control, and resolving large-scale problems
- Experience designing, operating, and evolving CI/CD pipelines in large engineering organizations (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent)
- Extensive infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows such as Argo CD or Flux
- Experience running shared platforms that serve large, diverse engineering organisations — including operating with high reliability and low friction for end users
- Experience with progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue/green, feature flags) and GitOps at scale
- Familiarity with OPA/Gatekeeper or similar policy enforcement tooling
- Practical experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry)
- Experience with secrets management at scale (Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, external-secrets)
Competencies
- Platform Engineering & Technical Excellence - Demonstrates solid platform engineering practices across cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD, automation, reliability, and security. Understands how platform decisions impact software delivery, operations, and developer productivity
- Excellence in Platform Stewardship and Operations - Owns platform services throughout the full lifecycle, from design and deployment to operation and ongoing improvement. Continuously tracks system health, addresses incidents, and delivers durable solutions that improve reliability and stability
- Automation & Continuous Improvement - Possesses an automation-first mindset, continuously identifying opportunities to reduce manual effort, eliminate operational toil, and enhance platform capabilities and developer experience
- Systems Thinking & Pragmatic Decision Making - Evaluates technical challenges holistically, balancing reliability, scalability, security, complexity, and delivery speed. Makes sound engineering decisions aligned with long-term platform objectives.
- Stakeholder Partnership & Developer Enablement - Builds trusted relationships with engineering teams, understands developer needs, and effectively enables adoption of platform capabilities, standards, and best practices
- Communication & Collaboration - Communicates technical concepts clearly across distributed teams and stakeholders. Produces effective documentation, facilitates alignment, and supports decision-making through deep knowledge rather than authority
- Security & Reliability Mindset - Incorporates secure-by-default principles into platform design, automation, and operations while maintaining a clear focus on resilience, observability, compliance, and risk mitigation
- Versatility and Technical Leadership - Thrives in evolving technical environments, helping shape direction amid ambiguity. Provides technical leadership by establishing standards, best practices, and continuous evolution of the platform
