Nice to have: Experience with Kubernetes environments on bare metal

## Description

Every website, every online store, and every application relies on one thing: a network that simply works. That's exactly what our network engineers ensure-from rack switches and firewalls to our core routers, forming the foundation of our bare-metal Kubernetes infrastructure. Stability and security aren't just byproducts-they're at the heart of what we do. At the same time, we refuse to stand still and are constantly on the lookout for new technologies, ideas, and solutions to take our infrastructure to the next level.

If you're interested in helping shape the foundation on which our customers build their businesses, you've come to the right place.

Here's what you can expect from us:

 * Software meets hardware: You'll configure, automate, and-from time to time-even get your hands dirty with the hardware in the data center
 * Thinking ahead in architecture: You'll further develop our network architecture while keeping an eye on current technologies and future requirements
 * Implementing Projects: You'll plan projects independently and collaboratively with the team, and execute them meticulously. For example, we've already developed our own DDoS mitigation stack, connected colocation PoPs, and built a new network infrastructure for our cloud platform
 * Operations & Troubleshooting: You'll maintain documentation and monitoring systems and get to the root of any issues
 * Thinking Outside the Box: You'll collaborate with external service providers and attend conferences to bring back new ideas
