About the CompanyFor an internationally growing tech company based in Munich, we are looking for a (Senior) DevOps Engineer (m/f/d).

The company is an established scale-up, developing a modern, cloud-based platform serving millions of users worldwide. Its technical infrastructure is heavily focused on AWS and Kubernetes and provides the foundation for numerous production services and applications.

The role sits at the heart of DevOps / Platform Engineering. The DevOps team operates with a high degree of ownership and supports a large engineering organisation. We are therefore not looking for a software developer with some DevOps responsibilities, but for a hands-on DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineer with strong experience in cloud infrastructure and production Kubernetes environments.

A particularly exciting aspect of the role is the scale of the environment: you will work with a large AWS-native infrastructure and a production Kubernetes environment of approximately 200 nodes.

• Your ResponsibilitiesOperate, develop, and optimise AWS-native cloud infrastructure
• Administer, scale, and troubleshoot production Kubernetes and EKS environments
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Automate infrastructure and operational processes
• Optimise CI/CD and deployment processes
• Build and further develop monitoring, observability, and alerting
• Analyse and resolve production incidents
• Improve performance, stability, availability, and security
• Optimise cloud resources and infrastructure costs
• Develop and maintain platform standards and technical best practices
• Work closely with software engineers and other technical teams
• Independently design and implement technical solutions for infrastructure and platform challenges

• Your ProfileSeveral years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure (Ideally around 4–5+ years of practical professional experience)
• Very strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments
• Very strong knowledge of Kubernetes and operating it in production
• Good knowledge of Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform
• Experience with Kubernetes cluster administration, scaling, and troubleshooting
• Experience with CI/CD and modern deployment processes
• Good understanding of Linux and fundamental networking concepts
• Experience with monitoring and observability
• Scripting experience, e.g. Python or Bash
• Experience handling production incidents and complex troubleshooting
• Ability to clearly explain technical concepts and architectural decisions
• Independent, pragmatic, and solution-oriented approach
• Willingness to take end-to-end ownership of technical topics

What matters most: You should not only know how a technology is used, but also be able to explain why a particular technical solution was chosen.

For example, you should be able to explain which alternatives you considered, what trade-offs were involved, and why you chose a specific architecture or AWS service.

• Your Profile Is Particularly Interesting If You Also BringHands-on experience with AWS EKS
• Experience managing EKS and performing cluster upgrades
• Strong knowledge of AWS Networking
• Terraform / Terragrunt
• Helm
• GitHub Actions or Jenkins
• GitOps / ArgoCD / ArgoRollouts
• Prometheus and Grafana
• Elastic Stack / OpenTelemetry
• Experience with larger Kubernetes environments
• Experience building infrastructure or platform components from scratch
• Experience with Security / DevSecOps
• Experience with Cloud Cost Optimisation
• Knowledge of Go
• Experience in a technology-driven product company, start-up, or scale-up
• SRE background
