Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Site Reliability Engineer - **Company:** Diligent Corporation - **Location:** München, Germany (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Kubernetes Security, Bash Shell, Computer Networks, Continuous Integration, Couchbase Servers, Data Infrastructure, Software Debugging, DevOps, Github, Python (Programming Language), Key Management, Network Segmentation, NoSQL, Octopus Deploy, Role-Based Access Control, Reliability Engineering, Prometheus, Data Logging, Istio, Grafana, Software Security, Indexer, Gitlab-ci, Git Flow, Kubernetes, Linkerd (Service Mesh), Elk Stack, Jenkins - **Published:** May 14, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=c936556188e4caa4 ## About the Role Do you have experience in REST?, 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. You're looking for a role where that initiative has room to turn into real improvements on a platform that customers trust with their most confidential data., * Several years hands-on SRE, DevOps or Platform Engineering, including meaningful time running 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. * 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. * 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. 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. It would be great if you had these to, but we'll support you if you don't: * Experience in regulated industries (financial services, legal, healthcare, defence) or under compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or C5. * Track record of designing or contributing to custom Kubernetes Operators. * Service-mesh experience (Istio, Linkerd, Cilium). * A demonstrated interest in working shoulder-to-shoulder with AppSec engineers to raise platform security posture. * Experience operating Couchbase (Couchbase Operator, server groups, XDCR) or another stateful data platform on Kubernetes. * Experience migrating ingress controllers or other cluster-wide components with zero customer downtime. * Experience with anomaly detection on platform telemetry. #LIHybrid ## Description In this role you'll join our operations team for our MeetingSuite product in Munich - a flat and diverse SRE team of four engineers. It's a team where influence comes from example rather than authority. 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. If multi-cluster Kubernetes, GitOps, logging, monitoring and NoSQL database management on Kubernetes are in your vocabulary, read on. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all of it, just the important stuff): * Operate and continuously improve our Kubernetes production platforms, contributing to zero-downtime upgrades and multi-AZ resilience as team-wide goals. * Grow into the team's expert on our ELK-based log platform - centralised cross-cluster monitoring and anomaly detection - so every service owner can see, alert on and debug their workload without SRE hand-holding. 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. ## Related Videos - [One Platform Could Not Fit Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1919-one-platform-could-not-fit-them-all) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [How I saved 200K/yr in direct costs writing 0 code lines in K8s](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1055-how-i-saved-200k-yr-in-direct-costs-writing-0-code-lines-in-k8s) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
