About the job

Our Team: In the Accelerator's Platform Team

In a nutshell, a platform team is a team that creates the foundational layers and core building blocks of a company’s products.

The platform team is also here to find ways for multiple teams to work on a cross project that can be reused by all.

More concretely a platform can be at different levels of granularity:

•CI configs and rules to be used by other teams

•IaC, tooling to deploy and monitor resources in the Cloud

•Development environment, tools and shared libraries

•Help and can define global system architecture / security

•Core abstractions (data model, business modeling) API/SDKs
