Are you passionate about large-scale cloud-native platform engineering and DevOps? Are you ready to drive a team of engineers to success in building and running our current and future software development platforms and tools for source code management, DevOps and AI-assisted development? Do you want to be responsible for creating large and lasting impact for 700+ developers? Join us on a transformative journey to reshape the developer experience at Bankdata.

Mission: Empowering developers with innovative, cloud-native platforms

As Lead Platform Engineer in the Decentral SCM & CI team, you will lead the development and maintenance of critical platforms supporting our developers, including source code management, CI/CD tools, AI assistants, AI agents, and more. You will be part of a close-knit, highly motivated team of five (one product owner and four developers) based in Aarhus, with most team members working remotely several days a week.

The team is known for its high degree of cooperation, flexibility, and trust, and you’ll play a key role in maintaining this culture of openness and collaboration. Your technical leadership will focus on creating innovative, cloud-native platforms that simplify complex development tasks, enabling our developers to be more productive and efficient. You will drive the consolidation of future technologies, delivering cutting-edge solutions to enhance developer productivity. This includes commoditizing platform capabilities and packaging them in ways that make them accessible and easy to use for our development teams. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of developer platforms at Bankdata, and to help position us as the premier enterprise for ambitious developers in Denmark.

Technologies you’ll work with includes:

• Git-based solutions (e.g., GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket)
• CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, Artifactory, GitHub Packages) 
• AI tools and platforms (e.g., GitHub CoPilot, Azure OpenAI)
• Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu)
• Configuration-as-Code (e.g., YAML, Helm, OPA)

You can read more about how Bankdata works with GitHub and GitHub CoPilot in our recent case study with GitHub and Microsoft.

The role will involve balancing working with the existing platforms, while consolidating around the new and curated platform capabilities we will be building together.

• Technical representation: Be the lead technical representative of the platforms and tools the team provides

• Motivate and inspire: Be a thought leader that drives innovation within Bankdata and beyond

• Curated platform capabilities: Lead the team in designing and building curated platform capabilities that our stream-aligned developer journey teams can package for our developers.

• X as a service: Hide the complexity of running highly available highly scalable cloud-native platforms and tools.

• Simplify and consolidate: Lead the journey of simplifying and consolidating around some of our future key platforms and tools, especially Github and Github CoPilot.

To succeed in this role we expect that within 6-12 months you will:

• Build strong relationships with teams and leadership across Bankdata.
• Lead platform consolidation and create curated developer experiences.
• Foster a culture of rapid, controlled experimentation.

What we’re looking for:

A platform engineer with a talent for simplifying complexity and a track record of innovation. You bring deep experience with DevOps tools like Git-based solutions, CI/CD, and Infrastructure-as-Code, along with strong coding skills. AI/ML experience is a bonus.

Experience

• Solid IT background with software development expertise, preferably M.Sc./PhD in Computer Science or similar.
• Several years working with developer tooling or DevOps in large enterprises or high-impact startups.
• Familiarity with highly regulated environments (e.g., financial IT) is an advantage.

Personal skills

• Collaborative, adaptable, and effective communicator who can inspire and lead by example.
• Able to balance conviction with openness to feedback, fostering a positive and productive environment.
• Strong alignment with organizational goals, translating strategy into actionable outcomes for developers.
