📋 Description

• Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform across multiple clusters: manage Helm chart deployments via an OCI registry hosting 40+ charts, enforce policy-as-code with Kyverno, and operate GitOps workflows through Argo CD ApplicationSets with progressive delivery orchestrated by Kargo • Drive technical designs for platform initiatives: scope the problem, propose multiple solutions, assess their trade-offs, and defend your recommendation — then see it through to production • Harden the platform's security posture: workload identity via OIDC, runtime security, image scanning and secrets management • Write and maintain custom Kubernetes operators and internal tooling in Go and Python that multiply the team's leverage across clusters — we run Zalando postgres-operator alongside our own operators • Maintain and improve our observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, OpenSearch): build dashboards and alerts that give product teams real visibility into their services • Keep GitLab CI/CD pipelines fast and reliable — they power ~150 production deployments per month; execute cross-team changes (rollouts, database migrations, certificate rotations) with care and clear communication • Operate and evolve AWS infrastructure (EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3) including dedicated customer environments in their own AWS accounts; drive cost-efficiency initiatives tracked via OpenCost • Own incidents end-to-end: from alert to fix to postmortem • Raise the team's bar through thorough code and architecture reviews, mentor less experienced engineers, and help us assess technical candidates in interviews • Be the infrastructure partner product teams come to when things are unclear or broken • Participate in a shared on-call rotation

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience, including 3+ years in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering • Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes: cluster operations, workload management, troubleshooting at scale • Helm chart authoring: writing, packaging, and maintaining charts — not just consuming them • GitOps experience with Argo CD or an equivalent tool (Flux, etc.) • Working knowledge of AWS (EKS and supporting services such as IAM, VPC, RDS, S3) • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent) • Proficiency in Go or Python — we write custom operators and internal tooling in both • Experience owning production incidents end-to-end — response, mitigation, and postmortem • Strong English communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible working arrangements (remote, office, or hybrid) • Modern office in the heart of Hanover for hybrid work • Up to 180 days (6 months) of remote work from abroad • Competitive compensation with benefits offering 30 days (6 weeks) of paid vacation • Modern hardware and software solutions
