The role

At Sofico, we power the automotive finance, leasing, and fleet mobility industry with mission-critical software solutions running for top-tier enterprise clients worldwide.

Our Platform Engineering organization ensures our environments remain robust, performant, and operational 24/7. Because running an enterprise platform spans both advanced forward-looking engineering and day-to-day operational execution, we are hiring Platform Engineers across specialized tracks.

From our Ghent office, you'll join one of our specialized Platform Engineering tracks, owning and evolving the technologies and processes that keep SOFICO's platforms robust, performant, and operational 24/7.

What you'll do: Drive engineering speed and reliability through self-service internal developer tooling and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). You build CI/CD delivery pipelines, manage GitOps configurations, and automate container workloads.
What you'll do: Scale and manage our hybrid cloud, on-prem virtual environments, core network topology, and enterprise databases. You ensure optimal capacity, manage perimeter security, and oversee OS lifecycles.
What you'll do: Ensure stable day-to-day platform operations without the overhead of engineering new automation or tools. You execute standard operating procedures (SOPs), process routine service desk tickets, handle manual patch/deployment tasks, and perform scheduled environment maintenance.
