Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You're a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer with years spent running production Kubernetes at scale, and you're the kind of engineer who takes the initiative when something can be better - observability, resilience, a tricky upgrade, or the way the team thinks about security.
- In this role you'll join our operations team for our MeetingSuite product in Munich - a flat and diverse SRE team of four engineers.
- Your day-to-day is keeping our Kubernetes platforms observable, resilient and boring-to-upgrade: GitOps with Flux, multi-AZ design, zero-downtime releases, and a centralised observability story every service owner can use without calling SRE.
- Alongside that, you'll partner closely with our Application Security Engineer on Kubernetes and container security - with room to grow into our security champion over time - to keep the bar high for the DAX 30 and other DACH customers we serve.
- Operate and continuously improve our Kubernetes production platforms, contributing to zero-downtime upgrades and multi-AZ resilience as team-wide goals.
- Werde zum Experten des Teams für unsere ELK-basierte Log-Plattform – zentralisiertes Cross-Cluster-Monitoring und Anomalieerkennung – sodass jeder Service-Owner seine Workloads sehen, Alarme setzen und debuggen kann, ohne Unterstützung durch SRE.
- Maintain and evolve our Prometheus alerting rules and Grafana dashboards alongside the team.
- Partner with our Application Security Engineer on Kubernetes and container security - admission control, workload identity, secrets management, network segmentation and runtime threat detection - with an interest in growing into our security champion over time.
- Love automation. Chip away at operational toil - deployments, monitoring setup, internal reporting - building on the baseline the team already has, and ship reliably through our GitOps workflow (Flux, GitLab CI).
- Participate in our Standby and Daily Business rotation, lead incident response, run blameless post-mortems, and drive the resulting action items to completion.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Solid grasp of Kubernetes and container security - secrets management, network segmentation and runtime protection - and an interest in growing into our security champion alongside our Application Security Engineer.
- Proven depth in the ELK stack (or a very similar log platform) - pipelines, indexing, dashboards, alerting - with an interest in growing into the team's observability expert.
- Working knowledge of Prometheus and Grafana.
- Solid coding in Go, Python or Bash, with a love for automating away repetitive work.
- Comfortable being on-call and leading incidents calmly under pressure.
- Professional fluency in German and excellent English; at home working in a diverse team.
Experience
- Several years of hands-on experience in SRE, DevOps, or Platform Engineering, including significant time managing production Kubernetes at scale.
- Strong Kubernetes expertise with deep hands-on experience in at least one area - cluster lifecycle and upgrades, workload identity and RBAC, admission control, network policies, or custom resources and operators - and working familiarity with the rest.
- Comfortable with GitOps and CI/CD as a daily way of working (we run Flux and GitLab CI; equivalents like Argo CD, GitHub Actions or Jenkins are fine), and hands-on experience with Helm and Kustomize for managing manifests.
