## Description

We are an international, high-impact team where your work directly shapes how 20+ development teams build and ship software. We're growing, and we're looking for someone who wants to co-own the platform, not just operate it.
What we offer you:

 * Flexible training opportunities for professional and personal development
 * (Global) development programs customizable to your ambitions
 * Diverse health and wellness offerings
 * A work environment where you contribute with your whole personality

Since each of over 300,000 team members feels that other benefits are particularly important, and we cannot list our entire benefit portfolio here, you can find more information here. The individual benefits are subject to regulatory, contractual, or corporate conditions.
You'll make an impact by:

 * Operating and evolving our AWS EKS cluster landscape - Kubernetes, autoscaling, networking, security, cost optimization
 * Developing reusable CI/CD templates (GitLab CI), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and GitOps-based deployment mechanisms (Flux) that development teams rely on daily
 * Building robust automation and internal tooling using modern languages like Python to extend platform capabilities
 * Building and improving platform observability (Datadog) - dashboards, alerting, capacity planning - so we catch problems before our users do
 * Analyzing and resolving infrastructure incidents end-to-end: root-cause analysis, self-healing automation, on-call support
 * Providing self-service tools and enablement that empower development teams to build, release, and deploy independently - including AI-assisted tooling and workflows
 * Shaping DevOps as a platform function - not a ticket queue, but a product that scales
