At IVC Evidensia, we’re combining our industry-leading veterinary services with modern technology to build resilient, scalable platforms that support better care. Were now hiring a Platform Engineering Manager to lead and grow our platform engineering team, helping unify our infrastructure practices across Europe and empowering teams to deliver quality software at speed.


Who We Are 🐶

IVC Evidensia is undergoing a major digital transformation. From modernising legacy systems to building cloud-native platforms, we’re laying the technical foundations to support over 2,500 veterinary practices in 20 countries.


The Role 💡

As Platform Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a team of engineers responsible for building and evolving our serverless, AWS-first infrastructure. You’ll balance hands-on technical leadership with people management — shaping the platform vision, enabling delivery, and supporting engineers’ growth.

You will:

* Lead, mentor, and grow a team of platform engineers
* Define and drive the strategy for a scalable, serverless AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, etc.)
* Oversee the design and management of AWS cloud infrastructure using CDK
* Guide the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines using AWS-native tools
* Foster best practices in automation, observability, and platform-as-a-product thinking
* Collaborate closely with engineering, security, and product leaders to align platform capabilities with business needs
* Champion operational excellence using Datadog and AWS monitoring/logging tools


What You’ll Bring 🔧

We’re looking for a leader who combines strong technical knowledge with a people-first mindset.

* Proven experience leading or managing engineering teams
* Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments
* Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK preferred)
* Solid background with CI/CD practices and tooling (ideally AWS-native)
* Experience with Datadog and AWS CloudWatch/native monitoring tools
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to influence at both technical and business levels
* A coaching mindset, with a passion for developing people and teams


You Matter to Us 💚

At IVC Evidensia, we care about your growth, wellbeing, and work-life balance. Youll be part of a tech team where your leadership has a direct impact on how we build technology that supports animal health and care.

Enjoy:

* Remote-first working, with flexibility to suit your lifestyle
* The opportunity to shape technology strategy in a rapidly growing organisation
* Ongoing leadership and career development support
* Competitive salary and benefits package
