Senior Cloud Engineer

Role overview Shape and modernize cloud and backend infrastructure supporting digital healthcare applications, including systems with large user bases and established production workloads. You will set technical direction across engineering teams while remaining hands-on with architecture and implementation. The focus is to improve reliability, security, observability, and delivery practices incrementally, while balancing product work and regulatory needs.

Responsibilities - Own and evolve the cloud and backend roadmap, turning engineering goals into clear priorities, trade-offs, and follow-up actions. - Lead cross-team architecture decisions and ensure they are documented, understood, and carried through. - Establish shared standards and guardrails that support team autonomy and consistent engineering practices. - Work directly with engineers on AWS and Terraform, including design and code reviews. - Help advance infrastructure automation, safer deployments, and observability without requiring a broad rewrite. - Coach and pair with engineers, and collaborate with product, QA, leadership, and international colleagues on security, compliance, cost, and delivery decisions.

Requirements - At least five years of cloud or backend engineering experience, including multiple years working hands-on with AWS and Terraform. - Experience reviewing technical designs and pull requests and making pragmatic architectural choices. - Familiarity with security, compliance, and regulatory constraints in production systems. - Ability to coach, share knowledge, and build ownership across engineering teams. - Fluent English for internal collaboration and openness to a role-based, self-organizing way of working.

Nice to have - Experience with serverless and event-driven architectures, AWS serverless services, and Node.js or TypeScript.

Benefits and work setup - Remote-first within the Netherlands, with monthly in-person team days. - A four-day working week of 32 hours, treated as full time; flexible workspace support is offered. - Estimated maximum annual gross remuneration is approximately €85,000 for 32 hours, depending on experience and qualifications.
