Does That Sound Like You?
- Do you love designing/creating internal developer platforms that remove friction, boost productivity, and that stick within an organisation?
- Do you enjoy operating between tech and people, where developer experience and organisational change meet?
- Do you find energy in helping teams align on a shared vision, making sure your work doesn’t just look good on paper but actually lands and sticks in the organisation? And while doing this, having variety in your work. Jumping into new industries, coaching teams, shaping strategy, and being part of a strong community of peers who constantly raise the bar?
Then Xebia is the place for you!
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll help organisations adopt Platform Engineering the right way. Not just by designing technically solid platforms, but by designing/creating Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs), golden paths, and self-service capabilities that actually improve the developer experience and productivity. This isn’t a coding-heavy role, but you do understand what great platforms look like under the hood, from Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and golden paths. You speak the language of both engineers and executives. You can navigate complexity, lead with clarity, and enjoy getting people aligned around a shared vision. As a consultant, you won’t be stuck in the same place for years. You’ll be involved in different challenges across industries, defining strategy, facilitating org-wide change, and coaching teams on how to take ownership of platform capabilities. You will be part of a senior team at Xebia. People who take pride in doing things well, share knowledge openly, and constantly push each other to grow.
What You’ll Get in Return
- Strategic work with real impact, you help shape platform foundations at scale
- Variety in clients and challenges, no boring maintenance, always learning
- A strong community of senior engineers, architects, and platform specialists
- Freedom to explore, experiment, and lead with your expertise
- A healthy mix of advisory, coaching, and high-level technical design
What You Need to Succeed in This Role?
- Experience in consultancy or platform leadership roles
- Five years of experience or more in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE
- Hands-on familiarity with public cloud, infrastructure as code, containers, and CI/CD
- Ability to define high-level direction and goals, and translate them into concrete actions and deliverables.
- Experienced in facilitating workshops, retrospectives, and cross-team alignment sessions to drive collaboration and clarity.
- Able to clearly communicate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adjusting tone and detail to the audience.
- Comfortable engaging with both business and technical stakeholders to ensure shared understanding and progress
