Role:
As a Senior DevOps Engineer Kubernetes / OpenShift, you design platforms on which business-critical applications run around the clock. The focus is on Kubernetes and OpenShift, complemented by databases and messaging systems. Customers seek your advice, and project teams rely on your technical judgement. Availability, security, and performance are not just buzzwords for you but the standard of your daily work.

You plan, install, and configure container platforms and keep them stable during operation.
This also includes the setup and operation of MongoDB, Postgres, and Kafka environments.

You coordinate closely with ICT system architects, project managers, and customers.
Furthermore, you specifically increase the resilience of complex infrastructures and take on diverse engineering tasks in your field of expertise.
Qualifications:
A completed computer science degree from a university of applied sciences, ETH, or a university forms your foundation.
You have several years of experience in Linux systems engineering, for example with Ubuntu, Debian, or Red Hat derivatives. Relevant certificates complement your profile.
Container orchestration with OpenShift and Kubernetes is part of your daily routine.
Ideally, you are familiar with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Ansible, messaging with Kafka, VMware vSphere, as well as scripting in Perl and Bash.
You gain extra points with knowledge in storage, backup, and server systems as well as the use of AI assistants like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude Code.
Additionally, you work in a structured manner and enjoy learning new things. You communicate clearly and convince the team with arguments and steadfastness.
