An invitation to take everything we know and re-invent it. Do it better. Never settling for good enough.\nEvery day we get up, invent, adapt, improvise, find new ways to collaborate,\nand do the unexpected. We’re creators, makers and doers. Helping athletes make\na difference, not just in their games, but in their lives and in their world.\nIt’s an obsession.\nWe’ve been doing this for more than 75 years. With an unmatched history and tradition\nof creating iconic products, consumer connections and experiences, we’ve been defining\nsport culture since the beginning.\nAnd we’re never done.\nCome be a part of shaping the future together with us.\nIT STARTS WITH YOU\nPLATFORM ENGINEER\nPURPOSE:\nPlatform Engineering designs, builds and operates the platforms our application teams rely on. Our goal is to unlock the potential of those teams so they spend more time on business value - increasing velocity and reducing time to market - while the enterprise scales on shared, secure, well-engineered platforms and services. All the adidas applications operate on top of platform engineering services, wich are completely involved within the SDLC. Continuious integration and continous deployment, testing, observability, synch and asynch communications, AI, Kubernetes & AWS are examples of platforms enabled by this team.\nAs a Platform Engineer, you will work on capabilities that support areas such as CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, observability, testing, APIs, streaming, AI Engineering, developer productivity and automation. You DO NOT need to be an expert in all of these areas. Platform Engineering is a broad space, and we are looking for people with strong experience in one or more platform domains.\nKEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:\nAs a Platform Engineer you are a hands-on technical expert who takes end-to-end ownership of capabilities within the platform. You design, build, improve and operate solutions that help application teams move faster while improving reliability, availability, scalability and cost efficiency.\nTake end-to-end ownership of epics and initiatives within the platform - from understanding requirements through solution design, implementation and operation.\nDesign, code, test, document and refactor complex software, choosing the right approach and applying engineering standards and tools.\nPropose, own and implement technical improvements (e.g. monitoring, system stability, reliability, operability) balancing impact and cost.\nBuild and operate the platform reliably: define and track SLAs/SLOs, reduce incidents and toil, and automate operational work.\nLead code reviews for peers and contribute to the platform’s technical roadmap, aligned with the domain strategy and in close collaboration with the platform owner.\nCoordinate the day-to-day delivery of complex, multi-faceted work with the relevant stakeholders across teams.\nAct as an active mentor for equal- or lower-grade colleagues, onboard new team members, and contribute to communities of practice.\nWHAT IF I DON’T CHECK ALL THE BOXES?\nThat is okay.\nPlatform Engineering is a broad area, and we do not expect every candidate to have experience in every platform, tool or technology listed above. If you have strong experience in one or more relevant domains and enjoy building reliable, scalable platforms that help other engineers succeed, we would like to hear from you.\nAt adidas, we are committed to increasing the diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and skills in our teams. We are interested not only in what you have already done, but also in the impact you can create with us.\nWHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:\nMUST-HAVE:\nCollege/university degree in IT, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.\n~5 years of IT experience across the full product development lifecycle, including building and operating services in production.\nStrong software engineering fundamentals, including clean code, testing, code review and maintainability.\nHands-on experience with at least one modern programming language such as Go, TypeScript/Node.js or Java/Spring Boot.\nCloud-native foundations: containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD, and a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).\nExperience with infrastructure-as-code and automation tools such as Terraform, GitHub Actions, Helm or similar.\nObservability and operability mindset: metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and incident response.\nDevOps mindset with ownership from development and testing through to deployment and operation.\nStrong communication and collaboration skills, with proficiency in English, both written and spoken.\nAreas of Specialisation\nPlatform Engineering covers multiple domains. We do not expect you to have deep experience in all of them. We are especially interested in candidates who bring strong experience in one or more of the following areas:\nCICD\nExperience with GitHub Actions or Jenkins pipeline design, build optimisation, release strategies such as canary or blue/green deployments, artifact management and dependency management.\nKubernetes\nExperience with Kubernetes operations, Helm, autoscaling such as HPA or VPA, workload isolation, resource governance, cluster security and multi-AZ resilience.\nObservability\nExperience with metrics, logs and traces pipelines, Prometheus, Grafana, Instana, OpenTelemetry, SLO/SLI tooling, alerting and cardinality management.\nTesting / QA\nExperience with test strategy and automation, contract testing, quality gates in CI/CD, performance testing and chaos testing across Go, TypeScript or Java environments.\nMachine Learning\nExperience with ML platform tooling, model lifecycle, feature stores, training and serving infrastructure, MLOps pipelines, agents or MCP.\nAPIs\nExperience with API design, including REST, gRPC, GraphQL or AsyncAPI, API gateways, authentication such as OAuth, OIDC or mTLS, contracts, versioning and developer experience.\nStreaming\nExperience with Kafka, SQS, event-driven architecture, consumer-lag management, throughput and backpressure, and exactly-once semantics.\nCloud\nExperience with AWS landing zones, networking, IAM/IRSA, cost optimisation, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and high-availability design.\nAI Engineering\nExperience with agent runtimes, MCP integration, LLM tooling, AI-assisted developer tooling, evaluation and guardrails.\nMINDSET & WAYS OF WORKING\nWe hire for how you work as much as what you know. We look for:\nOwnership - proactive, takes responsibility, follows through, and learns from failure.\nCourage - speaks up on opportunities and steps up on needs; constructively challenges the status quo.\nInnovation - curious, tests and learns, brings ideas and market trends to the team.\nTeam play, integrity and respect - collaborates, holds high standards, and communicates inclusively.\nA growth mindset focused on continuous learning and adaptability to change.\nWHAT WE OFFER:\nYou will be part of a company where digital transformation, innovation and continuous improvement are core principles of our culture.\nYou will join a team of talented and passionate quality engineers, with a lot of opportunities to grow and reach your expectations.\nYou will be part of a highly engaged, multinational with international career opportunities.\nIndividual development, training and a tech community.\nHybrid Work Setup: enjoy the advantages of a flexible remote work environment (40% Weekly within Spain) combined with the amazing onsite facilities and culture.\nCompetitive salary, benefits and valuable discounts on adidas products. \nSound good?
