Be a builder, not an observer. * Command the GCP Ecosystem: Master Google Cloud Platform. Work confidently with Kubernetes and Linux. Treat the cloud as your playground. * Code Your Infrastructure: Use Infrastructure as Code, Docker/CRI-O, and Shell Scripting as your primary weapons. If you have to do it twice, automate it. * Own the Stack End-to-End: Kill the ticket ping-pong. Stop the handovers. Take full responsibility from the first line of Terraform to the final production pod. No excuses. Bonus XP * Leverage Graylog, Grafana, Prometheus, Python, or Jenkins to gain total observability. * Deploy with Ansible, Terraform, or AWS. ## 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 The Challenge Most companies treat DevOps as a ticket-system: I need a database, My pipeline is broken . That is not what we do at smartclip . We don't want a gatekeeper. We want a Platform Architect . Build an ecosystem where developers can ship code to production without friction, without fear, and without waiting for a ticket. Turn the infrastructure into a product. Make the platform invisible, scalable, and bulletproof. Your Mission * Architect the Developer Experience: Design and automate platforms that empower our teams to move fast and ship with absolute confidence. Eliminate bottlenecks. Kill the friction. * Weaponise CI/CD: Integrate modern tooling into our pipelines. Ensure functional safety and reliability are baked into the process, not added as an afterthought. * Dominate the Cloud: Take full ownership of our GKE/Kubernetes infrastructure on Google Cloud. Shape it, evolve it, and push it to its limits. * Harden the Perimeter: Execute proactive security engineering. Hunt for vulnerabilities before the pen-testers do. Build a fortress, not a fence. * Scale the Future: Continuously evolve the platform. Make development faster, safer, and infinitely more scalable., * 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. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
