Job Summary
In this role, you will enhance our hybrid infrastructure, optimize CI/CD pipelines, automate deployments using ArgoCD, and ensure the stable operation of our containerized applications and databases.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Our hybrid infrastructure (Azure & On-Prem) is your playground: you develop it further, make architecture decisions, and ensure it remains stable, scalable, and future-proof.
- Kubernetes is central to us - you bring our services cleanly into the clusters, further develop deployment strategies, and think infrastructure consistently cloud-native.
- With ArgoCD and GitOps, you automate deployments and create traceable, reproducible processes.
- CI/CD is not an end in itself for you: You develop our GitLab pipelines further so that builds, tests, and releases run efficiently, stably, and quickly.
- You keep an overview of the operation of our applications - from monitoring, logging to alerting - and ensure that issues become visible before they become critical.
- Our databases are also well taken care of by you: you optimize performance, ensure stability, and consider scalability from the very beginning.
- You work closely with development and infrastructure, translating between both worlds and helping to break down silos.
- We don't have a 'ticket operator mode': you contribute your own ideas, actively participate in shaping, and take responsibility for your topics.
- As an experienced DevOps Engineer, you share your knowledge, advise teams, and help to further embed DevOps within the company.
