DevOps Engineer

As a DevOps Engineer you work in a remote centric distributed team of highly motivated and skilled engineers operating a Kubernetes powered internal developer platform. You apply software development principles to solve and optimize operational challenges and to operate services in a rapidly changing cloud-centric and cloud native environment.

As an engineer, you remove repetitive tasks by automation. You try to simplify wherever applicable and try to avoid maintenance efforts in the first place. You are curious by nature, and you are willing to take action. You know how to navigate tradeoffs and you know when to reach out to the team for collaboration.

As part of your role, you explore concepts, ideas, and technologies in the DevOps space and adapt them with the team when beneficial. The team works in a Kanban style where input comes from planned features/enhancements, requests from developers to assist or to solve challenges on the platform when they occur.

The team is operating many Kubernetes clusters on multiple cloud provider platforms. The clusters are maintained via infrastructure as code. We are targeting full automation and trunk-based development with an effective test coverage.

As the Kubernetes Eco-system is constantly evolving, the team makes sure to stay up to date – bring in suggestions for enhancements and plan to implement those. This includes driving PoC’s to show the usefulness of a certain technology as well as phasing our old tools that are no longer needed.

As an active member of the team, you foster collaboration by sharing insights and learnings – positive and negative – with the colleagues and providing constructive feedback to the team. You will learn a lot here and you have plenty of space to grow.
