Role:
Good infrastructure today is created in code rather than manual operations. As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you are responsible for the architecture and automation of an environment that connects on-premise systems, hybrid setups, and cloud resources. Using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you set the standards that the entire team follows. Your experience is especially in demand when things get critical and multiple technology layers are affected simultaneously. Here, you actively shape and set the technical direction.
Responsibilities:
You design modular Terraform structures for servers, networks, storage, and platform services and define clear rules for automated deployments.
You build pipelines for testing, changes, and the entire infrastructure lifecycle based on well-thought-out CI/CD concepts.
You further develop container and Kubernetes environments and embed security, hardening, and guardrails directly in the code.
In complex incidents, you take on technical leadership and find the cause across multiple layers.
Additionally, you plan disaster recovery, backup, and high availability mechanisms for business-critical services.
You also drive standardisation forward, test new technologies in proofs of concept, and set guidelines for logging and monitoring.
Qualifications:
Several years of solid experience in platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering form your foundation, supported by deep knowledge of Windows and/or Linux infrastructures.
You design sophisticated IaC architectures and know Terraform in detail, from variables through providers to state handling.
You prefer to automate configurations with Ansible and processes with PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
Versioning with Git and building automated infrastructure pipelines are firmly part of your toolkit.
Furthermore, you have confident know-how in container technologies such as Docker, ideally also in Kubernetes, as well as in virtualisation and hybrid cloud architectures.
You also understand networks from TCP/IP to firewall architecture, consistently implement security by design, and analyse interrelations between systems with analytical clarity.
Benefits:
- Home office
- Experienced and dynamic team
- Interesting and varied tasks/projects
- Flat hierarchies
- Flexible working hours
- Open corporate culture
- Comfortable office with modern infrastructure
- Coaching and mentoring
- Above-average holidays and days off
- Participation in or provision of company car
- Attractive pension and insurance benefits
