Role:

You want to not only operate infrastructure but design it as a well-thought-out system of code, pipelines, and clear standards. That is exactly what this position is about. As a Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer, you shape the technical direction of an environment consisting of on-premise, hybrid, and cloud. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform is your central tool, complemented by consistent configuration management. Your voice carries weight, and your architectural decisions have an impact far beyond individual projects.

Responsibilities:

• You design highly available and scalable architectures across compute, network, storage, virtualisation, and cloud.

• Reusable Terraform modules and configuration-as-code concepts ensure reproducible systems under your leadership.

• You automate complex operational processes with Ansible, Python, Bash, or PowerShell and integrate container platforms into automated provisioning.

• Additionally, you build CI/CD architectures with automated validations as well as integrated security and compliance checks.

• When incidents become complex, you keep an overview and lead the technical analysis across all layers.

• Furthermore, you define observability standards, design recovery mechanisms, and test new technologies in proofs of concept.

Qualifications:

• You have at least 5 years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering and are confident in Linux or Windows environments.

• Complex Terraform setups with modules, state, and providers are part of your daily routine, as are Git-based workflows.

• You write clean automation code in Python, Bash, or PowerShell and use Ansible purposefully for configurations.

• Moreover, you have practical knowledge of container technologies and Kubernetes, as well as virtualisation and hybrid cloud models.

• You understand network topics such as DNS, routing, load balancing, and firewalling, as well as monitoring and logging concepts.

• Additionally, you consider secrets management and hardening from the start, work in a structured manner, and quickly recognise dependencies between systems.

• 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
