Role:
Stable container platforms do not arise by themselves but through people with depth and technical foresight. This is exactly where you come in as a Senior Kubernetes Engineer. You design and operate sophisticated Kubernetes and OpenShift environments that customers can rely on at all times. Your opinion carries weight when it comes to architectural decisions, security, and performance. Your experience counts here, and you also develop professionally.
Responsibilities:
You advise customers on the introduction of container platforms and accompany the setup, configuration, and operation.
You safely bring microservices into production and provide customers with well-founded recommendations for their deployment.
You operate database and streaming environments with MongoDB, Kafka, and PostgreSQL (Postgres).
Together with project managers, customers, and ICT system architects, you design new solutions and implement them technically.
Furthermore, you optimise highly available infrastructures specifically regarding stability and security.
In addition, you cover a broad spectrum of systems engineering tasks in your area of expertise.
Qualifications:
You have a university degree in computer science from a university, university of applied sciences, or ETH.
You bring several years of experience as a Linux engineer with Debian, Red Hat, and comparable distributions; certifications are a plus.
You orchestrate containers confidently and know the peculiarities of large clusters from practice.
Knowledge of Bash and Perl scripting, automation with Ansible, VMware vSphere, Kafka, as well as server, backup, and storage systems is desirable.
Furthermore, you profitably use AI-supported development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor.
Additionally, you think analytically and entrepreneurially, act independently, and represent your viewpoints constructively even in controversial discussions.
