Role description and task arrangements
Hello, Platform Engineer, Developer Experience!
Secondment, 40 hours per week
At EDSN, you’ll help make the Netherlands more sustainable—every day—together with our partners in the energy sector. Working in the cloud is becoming more important by the day—and that goes for our development teams, too.
Working in the cloud is becoming more important by the day. This is also true for our development teams. With your digital skills and ability to bring people together, you’ll play a major role in making this a reality.
Be the indispensable link in the energy market
Work with energy
Guard is a team within the IT Foundation value stream. The team helps build EDSN’s internal developer platform. We help development teams deploy software to production quickly, securely, and in accordance with standards. We do this using self-service building blocks, centralized CI/CD templates, security tools, GitOps principles, and innovative developer tools.
In addition to Guard, his team—Atlas, Base64, WhoAmI, CRT, Watchdog, and Fundamentum—are part of this value stream. Atlas focuses on cloud (AWS) infrastructure, Base64 focuses on generic building blocks for integration, and WhoAmI is responsible for Identity & Access Management. Fundamentum focuses on data engineering and data analytics. CRT is responsible for the container runtime on which the applications run. Watchdog is responsible for our observability stack.
A key aspect of IT Foundation is delivering building blocks that ensure business agility and speed of realization (time-to-market). In short, agile solutions that can be developed in rapid, short, and small iterations (integrate early & integrate often + working complex systems evolve from simple working systems).
We are a friendly, dedicated team of seven specialists who are easy to approach—both within our department and throughout the entire company—which makes for such a pleasant work environment!

Topics such as DevSecOps, AI-assisted development, Golden Paths, and secure software development energize you.
You will bring the following:
