About LessonUp

LessonUp is a leading platform and educational software-as-a-service (SaaS) for teachers. We equip teachers with a range of innovative tools and resources that help them to create engaging and effective learning experiences. Our mission is to empower teachers to create the most engaging, joyful, and effective learning moments. Our ambition is to support 1 million teachers worldwide and to make a positive impact on the education of the next generations.

About the role

We are looking for a senior Platform Automation Engineer to own our cloud platform and supercharge developer velocity. In this role, your center of gravity is infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering.

You will tackle a dual mission: owning and evolving our core GCP production infrastructure, tackling technical debt, managing cloud resources, and ensuring production reliability, while radically shortening the time between a developer writing code and knowing whether it works.

You will not be authoring daily QA tests; our developers and QA engineers own the actual test suites. Instead, your focus is platform enablement. You will build, scale, and maintain the underlying cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and per-PR ephemeral environments that allow those tests to run flawlessly, empowering the team to deploy reliable code to production at high velocity.

What you’ll do

  • Own Production Infrastructure & GCP Roadmap: Take ownership of our GCP environment. Tackle pending technical debt, optimise cloud resource allocation, and ensure production systems are secure, performant, cost-effective, and built to scale.
  • Provide Per-PR Ephemeral Environments: Architect and manage ephemeral environments that allow engineers to spin up fully functional instances of our app for every pull request, making testing and QA review fast, isolated, and painless.
  • Run E2E Tests Frequently and Reliably: Own the operation and execution of our testing frameworks (Playwright, Jest, Cucumber) in CI. Focus on wiring tests into ephemeral environments, optimising parallelisation, and ruthlessly reducing flakiness so developers get immediate, trustworthy feedback.
  • Optimise CI/CD & Developer Workflows: Streamline build, test, and deployment pipelines to minimise developer wait times and establish robust release mechanisms.
  • Enable the Engineering Team: Provide the APIs, data-preparation tools, and CI/CD integrations that developers and QA need to write, maintain, and trust their own test suites seamlessly.

A little bit more about you

  • Resident in NL (fully remote work or relocation is not possible)
  • Experience: 8+ years of experience primarily focused in a Platform, DevOps, or SRE role, with a strong track record of setting up developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and managing production cloud infrastructure.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Strong proficiency with GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and infrastructure-as-code (IaC). Prior experience with Terraform is a plus. You know how to build, secure, and maintain scalable production environments.
  • Test Infrastructure Operations: Fluency in operating and scaling E2E testing frameworks (like Playwright and Jest) within CI pipelines. You do not need to be a deep test author; we need your expertise in pipeline wiring, test parallelisation, and flake reduction. Familiarity with Cucumber for BDD and Storybook is a plus.
  • API & Data Savvy: Comfort working with GraphQL APIs and MongoDB databases.
  • Senior Ownership: Ability to work autonomously, balance production infrastructure reliability with internal developer tools, and act as a true platform enabler for the wider engineering team.
  • At least 2 years experience as a senior
  • Capable of working independently
  • You’re a data-driven and pragmatic decision-maker
  • You’re open-minded, kind, curious, autonomous, and proactive

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
