How do you make infrastructure a platform that development teams genuinely enjoy working with? As Infrastructure & Platform Engineering Manager at Budget Thuis, you lead two teams with one shared goal: creating more self-service, a smarter hybrid setup, and a platform that helps development teams move faster and build better. Sounds like your kind of challenge? Read on and apply. What you'll do As Infrastructure & Platform Engineering Manager you lead our Infrastructure team and our Platform Engineering team: two teams, one manager, working closely together. Lead two teams: a Platform Engineering team where you directly manage the Tech Lead and four platform engineers, and an Infrastructure team led by its own Lead; Move the team away from a ticket-driven service model towards self-service and product thinking; Build developer platform capabilities on top of Kubernetes, so development teams can help themselves instead of waiting on infra; Manage a hybrid setup: mostly on-premises, with Azure and a smaller part on AWS; Keep a sharp eye on cost-to-serve, steering on cost per unit rather than on utilization or ticket volume; Infrastructure supports every company in the group, including Comtree and Fibercrew; Platform Engineering currently builds for Budget Thuis only, and part of this role is deciding whether and how that should change; Take a seat in the IT management team and report directly to our CTO. About the team You lead two teams with a different shape. Platform Engineering is small and close: you directly manage the Tech Lead and four platform engineers. Infrastructure runs through its own Lead, supporting every company in the group, including Comtree and Fibercrew. We stay on our own hardware and datacenters on purpose: it lets us weigh cost against benefit every day, which is a big part of how Budget Thuis keeps prices low. The teams are technical, hands-on and close to the work, and there's still plenty to build here.
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
