Then we are looking for you as a Platform Engineer - Kubernetes & GitOps (m/f/d) to strengthen our team! Since our founding in 2019, Famedly has been working to digitize medical communication processes in a data-protection-compliant way and revolutionize the healthcare system. Famedly brought the first gematik-certified TI-Messenger to market to improve communication and collaboration within the healthcare sector. Famedly enables medical teams to exchange sensitive patient information, images, and other files in real time from anywhere - from medication plans and lab results to X-ray images. As a dynamic, remote-first startup based in Berlin with a growing and experienced team, we work together every day toward our vision of a healthcare system without information barriers. Famedly relies on open-source software and primarily uses and actively contributes to Matrix and FHIR. As a Platform Engineer - Kubernetes & GitOps (m/f/d), you will be part of a talented team of developers at all levels and play a central role in building and operating the next generation of our infrastructure. We are actively migrating from an Ansible-based VM deployment model to a Kubernetes-based platform managed via GitOps. Our clusters are self-hosted and self-managed (bare metal and cloud VMs) - we deliberately do not use managed Kubernetes offerings. Your responsibilities * Design, and build our Kubernetes platform across multiple self-hosted clusters * Operate self-hosted Kubernetes clusters end to end: upgrades, CNI networking, storage, load balancing, and DNS * Provision and lifecycle-manage infrastructure with OpenTofu and Terragrunt: writing and reviewing modules, state management, plan/apply workflows * Develop and maintain our GitOps workflows with Argo CD (app-of-apps model, Helm-based deployments) * Operate and evolve core platform services such as Harbor, OpenBao, Zitadel * Build and improve observability across the platform (Grafana, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Alloy) and contribute to actionable alerting * Manage secrets, backups, and data services (e.g. CNPG/PostgreSQL, Barman) * Partner with product engineering teams to migrate services from Ansible/VM-based deployments to Kubernetes and define reusable deployment standards * Improve developer experience through documentation, templates, golden paths, and self-service platform capabilities * Troubleshoot platform issues across infrastructure, networking, and application layers (2nd-level support) * Participate in on-call duties to ensure stable platform operations ## Related Videos - [GitOps keeps focus on apps, not on infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/182-gitops-keeps-focus-on-apps-not-on-infrastructure) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [How to Find Tech Jobs in Berlin](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/291-how-to-find-tech-jobs-in-berlin) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Where to Find German Tech Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/366-where-to-find-german-tech-jobs) - [Finding IT & Technology English-speaking Jobs in Germany ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/446-finding-it-technology-english-speaking-jobs-in-germany) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
