- cplace Cloud 2.0: Co-building the Kubernetes platform – from cluster design, networking and storage to tenant isolation and scaling – plus planning and driving the migration of customer environments from Cloud 1.0
- Everything as code: Development of reusable Terraform modules, GitOps repositories and our own platform software (self-service portal, APIs, automation), including code reviews, automated tests and policy as code
- cplace Cloud 1.0: Operation and improvement of our environment of Linux servers, containers, SQL databases and Elasticsearch; lasting resolution of bugs, findings and capacity issues (incident and problem management, post-mortems); conversion of manual procedures into versioned, tested code (Ansible, Terraform, n8n)
- Improvement of monitoring, logging and alerting; ownership of backup & recovery, disaster recovery and business continuity, including regular testing
- Technical implementation of security and compliance requirements (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) and optimisation of cost and capacity
- Driving AI in operations, e.g. for incident and log analysis and agents for runbooks and routine tasks
- Close collaboration with product development for smooth releases, technical representation of the team in customer meetings, tenders and customer projects, and knowledge sharing through internal and external documentation and mentoring
- On-call duty in a fair rotation
- Degree in computer science or a related STEM field, or comparable vocational training, plus several years (ideally 5+) of experience as an SRE, DevOps or platform engineer in business-critical production environments
- Solid hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (operations, upgrades, troubleshooting, storage, networking) and with at least one cloud provider – AWS, GCP, Azure and/or Hetzner Cloud a strong plus
- Deep experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), CI/CD, GitOps and Git-based collaboration via pull requests and code reviews – with modular, tested code that stays maintainable for the team
- Strong Linux skills and experience with SQL databases (e.g. MariaDB), Elasticsearch/OpenSearch and observability stacks (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/ELK)
- Solid software engineering skills, ideally in Go or Python – tools and automation with tests and clean structure rather than one-off scripts; confident Bash scripting a given
- Good understanding of cloud security (e.g. network segmentation, secrets management, WAF)
- Hands-on experience with AI tools in everyday engineering and a good sense of their strengths and limits
- Customer-focused, structured way of working, ability to explain technical topics clearly, and fluent German (at least C1) and English
- Flexible work model and remote work
- Room for creativity, co-design and further development
- Competitive salary, 30 days vacation & sabbatical option
- Hardware of your choice
