About Platform Engineering
Our Platform Engineering team is the backbone of Trade Republic's engineering efficiency. We are dedicated to creating self-service platforms, golden paths, and opinionated tooling that allows our engineers to operate autonomously and confidently. With a focus on Kubernetes fleet management, CI/CD, and an internal Developer Hub based on Backstage, our initiatives support every trade, savings plan, and payment that our customers rely on.
The Kubernetes Platform Journey
We're currently managing an expanding fleet of Kubernetes clusters across multiple AWS accounts and environments, which are critical to every service that millions of customers depend on. To meet the demands of our fast-paced business while maintaining the reliability and compliance expected from a regulated financial institution, we have developed a sophisticated hub-and-spoke fleet management platform utilizing ClusterAPI, Crossplane, and Sveltos, all orchestrated through GitOps.
With the foundation established, we are looking for a leader to further strengthen our platform, expand our multi-region capabilities, and enhance overall availability.
