Senior Platform Engineer, Foundations Alliance (f/m/x)

Join our R&D Tech Hub in Wroclaw

HelloFresh Group, the world’s leading integrated food solutions provider, is expanding with a new R&D Tech office in Poland. With brands offering meal kits, ready-to-eat meals, and specialty products such as meat, seafood, and pet food, we are seeking individuals who are ready to make an impact from day one. Joining us in Wrocław means shaping the culture, working on meaningful R&D Tech projects, and contributing to a global company changing how people eat.

Working at HelloFresh

At HelloFresh Group, we are driven by a high-performance culture that values speed, agility, and continuous learning. We believe in hands-on contribution and fostering a truly collaborative, egoless environment where every team member contributes to our mission of changing the way people eat, forever and welcome team players who thrive in a dynamic environment, lead with ownership, and bring diverse perspectives to the table.

Our teams thrive on in-person collaboration, with an expectation to work from the office four days a week. This approach creates a dynamic space where ideas flourish, decisions are made efficiently, and our collective impact is accelerated. It's how we stay closely connected to our shared goals and drive swift execution.

The role

As a Senior Platform Engineer in our Release Engineering team, you will focus on building developer tooling, not individual pipelines. Your work will power CI/CD for 1,000+ engineers across HelloFresh, enabling safe, automated, and scalable releases.

We design and maintain the frameworks, CLIs, and internal platforms that make delivery effortless and reliable. Beyond managing tools like GitHub Actions, Artifactory, and ArgoCD, you will contribute to our in‑house solutions—from service bootstrap CLIs to our Open Application Model (OAM) implementation that abstracts Kubernetes complexity. Our platform also supports fully automated progressive rollouts with Bring Your Own Metrics (BYOM) capabilities, giving teams the confidence to ship at speed.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the developer experience for a large organization while still having a direct impact on day‑to‑day operations.

What you’ll do

• Build and evolve internal developer tooling to enable fast, reliable, and low‑risk software delivery, helping product teams ship more often with higher confidence
• Develop solutions that minimize or eliminate downtime during infrastructure maintenance (e.g., automated strategies for RDS upgrades)
• Advance our OAM‑based approach to abstract Kubernetes complexity and standardize deployment practices across the organization
• Collaborate closely with other squads in the Reliability Platform Tribe and the Foundations Alliance to deliver a cohesive, end‑to‑end platform for the entire HelloFresh Group
• Consult, guide, and educate engineering teams on CI/CD best practices and platform capabilities, fostering a culture of safe and efficient releases

What you’ll bring

• Solid experience in building or maintaining developer platforms, CI/CD systems, or internal tooling in a cloud‑native environment
• Familiarity with modern software delivery practices such as GitOps, progressive delivery, automated verifications, and infrastructure‑as‑code
• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, and understanding of cloud‑native architecture patterns
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes and containerized workloads, ideally with experience abstracting complexity for developers
• A proactive, curious mindset with a willingness to learn and continuously improve both the platform and your own skills
• Ability to collaborate across squads and domains, consult with development teams, and translate platform concepts into actionable guidance

What we offer

• Health - From day one, you will have private health insurance coverage and a 50% subsidy on MultiSport, your access to thousands of gyms, swimming pools, and fitness studios nationwide.
• Hybrid Working Schedule - We work in-office 4 days a week to align on goals, with flexible hours to support work-life balance and personal needs
• Holidays - You receive 26 days of paid vacation each year, providing you time to rest and recharge
• Learning and Development - An annual Learning & Development budget and a Mentoring Program to support your ongoing professional growth
• Employee Referral Program - Our team members can participate in our internal employee referral program and receive a bonus for recommending successful candidates to open roles
• Daily Comforts - Free coffee, drinks, and fresh fruit are available to keep you refreshed throughout the day

If you are passionate about making a tangible impact and thrive in a fast-paced environment where your work directly contributes to a global purpose, we encourage you to apply – even if your experience doesn't tick every single box, we believe there are many ways to develop skills and grow with us.
