We equip teachers with a range of innovative tools and resources that help them to create engaging and effective learning experiences. Our mission is to empower teachers to create the most engaging, joyful, and effective learning moments. Our ambition is to support 1 million teachers worldwide and to make a positive impact on the education of the next generations.\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for a senior Platform Automation Engineer to own our cloud platform and supercharge developer velocity. In this role, your center of gravity is infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering.\nYou will tackle a dual mission: owning and evolving our core GCP production infrastructure, tackling technical debt, managing cloud resources, and ensuring production reliability, while radically shortening the time between a developer writing code and knowing whether it works.\nYou will not be authoring daily QA tests; our developers and QA engineers own the actual test suites. Instead, your focus is platform enablement. You will build, scale, and maintain the underlying cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and per-PR ephemeral environments that allow those tests to run flawlessly, empowering the team to deploy reliable code to production at high velocity.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn Production Infrastructure & GCP Roadmap: Take ownership of our GCP environment. Tackle pending technical debt, optimise cloud resource allocation, and ensure production systems are secure, performant, cost-effective, and built to scale.\n\nProvide Per-PR Ephemeral Environments: Architect and manage ephemeral environments that allow engineers to spin up fully functional instances of our app for every pull request, making testing and QA review fast, isolated, and painless.\n\nRun E2E Tests Frequently and Reliably: Own the operation and execution of our testing frameworks (Playwright, Jest, Cucumber) in CI. Focus on wiring tests into ephemeral environments, optimising parallelisation, and ruthlessly reducing flakiness so developers get immediate, trustworthy feedback.\n\nOptimise CI/CD & Developer Workflows: Streamline build, test, and deployment pipelines to minimise developer wait times and establish robust release mechanisms.\n\nEnable the Engineering Team: Provide the APIs, data-preparation tools, and CI/CD integrations that developers and QA need to write, maintain, and trust their own test suites seamlessly.\n\nRequirements\nA little bit more about you\n\nResident in NL (fully remote work or relocation is not possible)\n\nExperience: 8+ years of experience primarily focused in a Platform, DevOps, or SRE role, with a strong track record of setting up developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and managing production cloud infrastructure.\n\nCloud & Infrastructure: Strong proficiency with GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and infrastructure-as-code (IaC). Prior experience with Terraform is a plus. You know how to build, secure, and maintain scalable production environments.\n\nTest Infrastructure Operations: Fluency in operating and scaling E2E testing frameworks (like Playwright and Jest) within CI pipelines. You do not need to be a deep test author; we need your expertise in pipeline wiring, test parallelisation, and flake reduction. Familiarity with Cucumber for BDD and Storybook is a plus.\n\nAPI & Data Savvy: Comfort working with GraphQL APIs and MongoDB databases.\n\nSenior Ownership: Ability to work autonomously, balance production infrastructure reliability with internal developer tools, and act as a true platform enabler for the wider engineering team.\n\nAt least 2 years experience as a senior\n\nCapable of working independently\n\nYou’re a data-driven and pragmatic decision-maker\n\nYou’re open-minded, kind, curious, autonomous, and proactive\n\nWhat we offer you\nA fantastic job at our office in The Hague, with the flexibility to work from home occasionally\n\nA competitive salary between €5000 - €6000 per month (based on 40h)\n\nA work week of 32, 36 or 40 hours a week. Whatever you prefer!\n\nA laptop\n\nNS business card or €0,25 per km\n\nPersonal Learning & Development Budget\n\nUnlimited access to OpenUp to work on your mental health\n\nRetirement savings with ASR\n\nFree lunch, drinks & snacks at the office\n\nGreat outings throughout the year like rooftop terrace parties, beach bbq’s, game nights and monthly drinks\n\nWant to know more about LessonUp and what we have to offer?\nContact us via email ( ).\nLessonUpis an equal opportunity employer, which means we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic information, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
