Our flagship brands - AutoTrader.ca, AutoSync, Dealertrack Canada and CMS - help Canadians buy, sell, and finance vehicles with confidence. \nAutoTrader.ca is Canada’s largest automotive marketplace, with over 25 million monthly visits. Through AutoSync, we provide software solutions to 3,500+ dealers, streamlining their operations, marketing, and sales. Dealertrack Canada is the country’s top automotive financing portal, processing more than 6.5 million credit applications each year. Collateral Management (CMS) is a national tech solution that boosts lien and registration services, recovery services, and insolvency management solutions for Canadian Lenders \nAs part of AutoScout24 group, Europe’s largest online car marketplace, we’re shaping the future of automotive retail in Canada and beyond. \nJoin us on our journey as we bring together the best of Europe and North America to shape the future of automotive retail. \n---\nAbout the role\nJoin our Platform Engineering team at AutoScout24 Group / Trader Corporation. We build the internal platform that 600+ developers rely on to ship software quickly and safely: centralized Kubernetes, managed CI/CD, project templates, and the developer tooling that runs on top of AWS. Our customers are developers. We live \"you build it, you run it\" and we invest in self-service and a product mindset so a small team can have a big impact.\nA big part of that today is making developers more productive with AI, and we're already deep in it. We've driven AI tooling adoption across the company and we're building out the platform behind it: secure managed environments for AI coding tools, AI-assisted CI (automated PR reviews, fixes for failing builds), agentic workflows on AWS (Bedrock, Agent Core), and MCP-based integrations. The AI is the means, not the end. What we care about is a faster, smoother day-to-day for every engineer, and AI is the biggest lever we have.\nWe're looking for a senior platform engineer who already works fluently with modern AI tooling and uses it to move fast. You reach for Claude, Codex, and agents to get real work shipped, and you'd rather build something and learn from it than research it forever. You bring solid infrastructure and AWS fundamentals, product thinking, and the communication skills to own a topic, plan it, and bring people with you.\nWhat you'll do...\nBuild and operate the internal AI platform: secure AI coding environments, AI in CI/CD, agentic workflows on AWS (Bedrock / Agent Core), and reusable building blocks teams adopt by default.\nOwn products end to end. You design, build, run, and improve them with a product mindset, treating fellow engineers as your customers and shaping interfaces that are genuinely easy to build with.\nStart from the developer's day. You figure out where the real friction is, decide what would actually make their work easier, and measure whether people adopt it once it ships.\nTake ownership of a topic, plan the work, drive it to done, and keep stakeholders in the loop.\nSet the bar for how we build with AI. You turn an interesting idea into tooling people can actually rely on, and you bring the rest of the team along with you.\nShape architecture and technology choices for our platform foundations (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC on AWS) and for the AI capabilities on top, and say what you think in technical discussions.\nKeep the platform reliable, secure, observable, and cost-aware. You'll join the on-call rotation and help troubleshoot production incidents.\nCapture reusable patterns, templates, and blueprints so the whole organization moves faster.\nWhat you need to succeed...\nSenior-level experience (typically 5+ years) building and operating infrastructure or platform products.\n Hands-on GenAI experience. You've built with LLM APIs, tool/function calling, retrieval, agents, or agent frameworks and put them into real workflows.\nModern AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex) are part of how you work day to day.\nStrong AWS fundamentals and a genuine appreciation for Infrastructure as Code and Pipeline as Code.\nA real feel for developer experience. You can look at a feature and tell whether it'll make a developer's life easier or just add another thing to learn, because you've lived that friction yourself.\nStrong communication and collaboration. You work well in a team, share your opinions clearly, and can move a topic forward with people across functions.\nSolid engineering fundamentals: testing, debugging, code quality, and getting things ready for production.\nFamiliarity with SRE / DevOps principles and observability concepts (CloudWatch, Datadog, OpsGenie or similar).\nYou code well in at least one language, ideally Python, Go, or TypeScript.\nA bias for shipping. You're comfortable taking something ambiguous and turning it into a working solution with sensible scope.\nWhy this team...\nPlatform Engineering sits at the center of how the company builds software, and the AI platform is the bet we're most excited about right now. You'll get real ownership, teammates who are already invested in AI, and the room to define how the whole organization builds with it. We use the tools we build.\nAt AutoScout24 / Trader we celebrate diversity as a strength. Our organization comprises 50+ nationalities working together inclusively and respectfully. If you want to shape how an entire engineering organization builds with AI, we'd love to hear from you.\nWhat's in it for you...\nWe understand that there is life at work and life outside of work. Here are a few benefits we all benefit from that support us to be our creative best. \nBenefits from Day 1 \nGym discounts \nEmployee and Family Assistance program \nVirtual wellness events \nConferences & training budget \nRegular internal training programs \nFinancial planning \nLet us help you invest in your future with 3% matching towards your pension and multiple forms of income protection. \nFor a career where you can drive our business and shape your future, apply now. \nCompensation\nOur ranges reflect the expected compensation at the time of posting.
