Senior DevOps & Platform Engineer

About the job
Nordic Semiconductor is the market leader in Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity, with a growing portfolio of wireless devices, LTE-M, and NB-IoT. We also develop Thread and Zigbee solutions widely used in the Smart Home domain. Our SoC products power world-leading brands across wireless PC peripherals, gaming, fitness, consumer electronics, toys, healthcare, and automation.
Nordic Semiconductor's R&D capacity is expanding. We are looking for a highly skilled Senior DevOps & Platform Engineer to join the Product Development: SW & System Integration organization in Kraków. In this role, you will shift the paradigm from traditional infrastructure maintenance to modern Platform Engineering. Your mission is to treat our internal developer platform as a product, building, maintaining, and scaling internal tools that accelerate software delivery and maximize developer velocity. As a senior technical leader, you will own the DevOps & CI/CD infrastructure and process for both host and target environments. You will drive the deep automation of processes and provide comprehensive support in deployment architectures across the Short Range Product Development organization. Acting as technical interface between Engineering and IT, you will streamline automated workflows, resource provisioning, and system architecture. Your scope also extends into cutting-edge domains, including providing MLOps infrastructure support for our AI initiatives, managing release & SW delivery support operations, and establishing comprehensive engineering metrics & dashboards to drive data-informed decisions.

Key responsibilities

- Architect, scale, and maintain modern DevOps & CI/CD infrastructure & process (host & target) utilizing GitOps principles and pipeline-as-code methodologies.

- Design, build, maintain, and dynamically scale custom engineering tools and platforms that empower R&D teams and eliminate operational bottlenecks.

- Drive end-to-end workflow and tool automation, incl. Product Development workflows, to create a seamless, self-service developer experience.

- Provide expert support in deployment and release & SW delivery support operations by integrating automated security, compliance (e.g., SBOM generation), and testing into the deployment lifecycle.

- Act as the primary technical interface between Engineering and IT, translating software delivery requirements into scalable infrastructure solutions.

- Design and support MLOps infrastructure pipelines to enable AI-assisted development and machine learning workflows.

- Develop and maintain engineering metrics & dashboards to provide deep observability into CI/CD performance, system health, and developer productivity.

- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage compute resources, shifting away from manual configuration toward reproducible, hybrid-cloud environments.

Essential Qualification and skills

- Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with 5+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE.

- Strong background in designing, deploying, and operating complex, multi-stage CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins with JCasC).

- Proven track record of building tools, maintaining tools, and scaling tools for internal developer platforms.

- Deep expertise in containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes). Advanced scripting and programming skills for driving automation of processes (Python, Go, or Bash).

- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible).

- Solid understanding of modern observability, telemetry, and monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

- Excellent communication skills with fluent English (written and oral), capable of driving cross-site architectural alignments.

Desirable Experience

- Proven track record in Platform Engineering, building Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) and self-service engineering platforms.

- Experience with MLOps frameworks and deploying infrastructure for AI models and agents.

- Knowledge of software supply chain security practices (DevSecOps, SLSA, CycloneDX).

- Experience handling CI/CD architecture and deployment pipelines for distributed, global development teams.
