Job Summary
In this role, you will enhance our hybrid infrastructure, optimize Kubernetes deployments, automate with ArgoCD and GitOps, and monitor and optimize databases and CI/CD processes.
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 that 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 to logging and 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.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Very good expertise in modern infrastructure and platform concepts, especially around Kubernetes, containerized applications (Docker), and their ecosystem (e.g., Helm).
- Secure in the operation and optimization of databases (especially PostgreSQL) as well as in handling messaging and routing technologies such as ActiveMQ or HAProxy.
- Ideally, knowledge of tools such as Ansible, Harbor, or Longhorn - not a must, but a plus.
- Structured, solution-oriented working style as well as the ability to effectively mediate between development and infrastructure.
- And because collaboration is important to us: Very good German skills (at least C1) will help you navigate confidently within the team and with stakeholders.
Experience
- Several years of experience (around 5+ years) in a DevOps environment – you understand the principles behind the tools and apply them pragmatically.
- Extensive experience with CI/CD and GitOps (e.g., GitLab, ArgoCD) as well as a high standard for automation and stable, reproducible processes.
- Experience with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Kibana, or OpenSearch) and a good understanding of stable, transparent system operation.
