Role:
You keep Kubernetes clusters running, on which productive applications and customer solutions are based. As a Platform Engineer Kubernetes, you combine solid craftsmanship in server operations with the ambition to consistently automate routine work. Code replaces manual interventions, and every pipeline makes operations a bit more robust. You gradually grow into the Windows world, thus expanding your profile. Development, departments, and external partners appreciate you as a pragmatic voice in operations.
Responsibilities:
You operate the container platform and further develop it. You keep availability, performance, and capacity in view with thoughtful monitoring.
If disruptions occur, you analyse the cause and resolve it promptly. If necessary, you restore systems via restore.
With playbooks and roles in Ansible, you automate provisioning, configuration, and deployments.
Additionally, you build pipelines for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Build, test, release, and code management are also your responsibility.
Furthermore, you patch and harden the server landscape around operating systems, storage, and network. In parallel, you familiarise yourself with Active Directory, patch management, and Windows services.
You also accompany systems together with development and application managers throughout the entire lifecycle. You advise customers, coordinate with suppliers, and sharpen operational processes as well as security standards.
Qualifications:
You have an ICT basic education, a higher vocational school qualification, or a degree. Equivalent practical experience is equally convincing.
You have been confidently managing Linux servers such as Debian, RHEL, or Ubuntu for several years.
You feel at home in Kubernetes operations, including troubleshooting. You use Ansible in practice, and ideally, you have already worked with Helm.
Furthermore, you know Git and tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI. You understand the basics of security, network, and storage in cloud and data centre environments.
You have taken first steps in PowerShell and Active Directory or want to deepen your knowledge quickly.
Additionally, you tackle problems in a structured way and enjoy automating processes.
As a team player, you communicate clearly and keep your customers’ needs in mind.
You negotiate confidently in German and can easily understand English technical documentation.
