Would you like to take ownership of kick-starting Skatteguiden's AKS platform?
From day one, you will take ownership of a substantial and business-critical project: building
Skatteguiden's new production platform on Azure Kubernetes Service from the ground up.
It's a rare opportunity to design a production environment from scratch and make
architectural decisions that will shape how the platform is built and operated for years to
come.
The platform has grown. The infrastructure that keeps Skatteguiden running has reached a
scale and complexity that deserves full-time, specialist ownership, and the work ahead
makes this an unusually good time to join.
About the role
You will be joining the Operational Platform team, the team responsible for everything that
isn´t the product itself: the infrastructure, the developer platform, and the systems that keep
Skatteguiden running reliably at scale.
The team treats the platform as a product, with engineers distributed across several
product teams as their users. They ship to production every day, and the platform is what
makes that possible.
What you´ll do
Migrate the infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. Moving from bare-metal Kubernetes to
AKS, designing and building the entire new infrastructure as code from scratch
using Terraform
Build and operate the production environment. Kubernetes cluster administration,
upgrades, network policies, RBAC, and the systems that keep the platform stable
and reliable
Integrate security into the platform. Work with Head of Security & Privacy to
translate security requirements into technical controls; security as a built-in
property, not an afterthought
Improve developer experience. Maintain and develop CI/CD pipelines and GitOps
workflows (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD) so the path from code to production is fast,
reliable, and transparent
Run the observability platform. Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, and Sentry, making it
effortless for teams to instrument their code without manual setup; and setting up
the on-call tooling that connects alerts to the right people
Enable engineers to use AI effectively. Identify, build, and maintain the tooling and
infrastructure that puts AI assistance within reach of every engineer on the team;
this includes sandboxed execution environments, MCP servers, and whatever the
space demands next
Manage infrastructure costs. Clear visibility into cloud spends and a bias toward
reducing waste without compromising reliability or developer experience
Who we´re looking for
Youre likely a senior platform, infrastructure, or site reliability engineer who's run
production Kubernetes at scale and sees the platform not just as infrastructure to operate
but as a product whose users are the engineers who ship Skatteguiden every day. If
you´ve done parts of this and want to take on the breadth, we´d like to hear from you.
Must-have
Solid hands-on experience running and managing AKS in production, including
Azure Networking, Azure Key Vault, and Entra Workload Identity
Broad Azure experience. You know your way around the platform. The services,
how they connect, and how access and permissions work. The team will be the
internal reference point for Azure architecture and design decisions, so a solid,
broad understanding of what´s possible and how to apply it matters
Working knowledge of Linux and networking. You´re comfortable debugging at the
system and network level
Hands-on experience with IaC, managing CI/CD pipelines, managing a production
observability stack, and building internal tooling with software engineering discipline
Security, privacy, and compliance awareness. You design and implement with
security, GDPR, and frameworks like ISO 27001 in mind, and you have hands-on
experience applying controls across infrastructure, cloud environments, and
developer tooling
Genuine enthusiasm for AI. You use it daily and you´re always looking for new ways
to apply it
Nice-to-have
A "platform as a product" mindset. Experience thinking about developer experience
as a product discipline, not just an operational concern
Prior experience planning and executing a hosting or infrastructure migration
Familiarity with the current stack: ArgoCD, Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry, and
GitHub
Familiarity with Cloudflare, including DNS, CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, and
Workers
Why join Skatteguiden
You´ll join a small, highly skilled engineering team with a high degree of autonomy, where
your work has real impact. Technical excellence is taken seriously, with a strong focus on
security, architecture and keeping technical debt under control. The product itself is
equally meaningful, as more than one million Danes rely on Skatteguiden every year.
Skatteguiden is an independent, profitable and growing company with a clear mission and
no unnecessary bureaucracy. The team embraces AI across the business and
continuously looks for new ways to work smarter, making it an exciting environment for
engineers who enjoy adopting new technologies and improving the way they work.
Just as importantly, you´ll be joining a team of genuinely good people. The culture is
professional, collaborative and informal. People care deeply about building great
technology, while maintaining a down-to-earth atmosphere where everyone enjoys
working together.
