Job description

We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship. Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.

Activities

  • Build and evolve our developer platforms to enable fast feedback, high quality, and maximum flexibility.
  • Design and automate developer platforms that empower teams to move fast and ship with confidence
  • Integrate modern tools into CI/CD pipelines - always with a focus on functional safety and reliability
  • Take ownership of our GKE/Kubernetes infrastructure on Google Cloud - and actively shape it
  • Harden systems proactively through strong security engineering - don't wait for a pen test to find issues
  • Continuously improve our platform to make development faster, safer, and more scalable, * Ownership over tickets: You're trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement - we rely on you to take things forward.
  • Build > Talk: We test what works - not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
  • High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
  • Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community - we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.
  • And yes - the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.

Application Process

  1. A quick intro call with Sarah (Head of Talent
  2. Video call with your future manager and a teammate - real talk, no script
  3. Meet us in Berlin: hands-on case study, coding challenge (pair programming), or a role play - depending on the role
  4. Prompt, honest feedback from Sarah - no ghosting, we promise

Requirements

  • Bring 5+ years of DevOps engineering experience - as a builder, not an observer
  • Be an expert in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and confidently work with Kubernetes and Linux
  • Use Infrastructure as Code, Docker/CRI-O, and Shell scripting as part of your daily toolkit
  • Own your stack end-to-end - no handovers, no ticket ping-pong, no excuses

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with tools like Graylog, Grafana, Prometheus, Python, or Jenkins
  • Experience with Ansible, Terraform, or AWS
