Senior Platform/ DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

Connected to the future

Your mission

We are looking for a Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer to join our existing Platform team. We run a modern AWS + Kubernetes platform, but we also integrate with traditional / on-prem infrastructure.
You will help design, build and operate the core platform used by our product teams: Kubernetes clusters, networking, observability, GitOps, and infrastructure as code. Working closely with other platform engineers and the Lead DevOps Engineer, owning specific areas and driving improvements end-to-end. 
This role is fully remote within Germany and requires close collaboration with engineers across multiple teams.

In addition, you'll be responsible for the following task:

Platform engineering

• Design, build and operate our AWS- and Kubernetes-based platform.

• Own one or more areas (e.g. Kubernetes, observability, networking, IaC) and act as the go-to person for those topics in the team.

Cloud & Kubernetes

• Operate production AWS environments (multi-account, multi-environment).

• Operate Kubernetes clusters (upgrades, capacity, reliability, security).

GitOps & delivery

• Design and maintain Argo CD–based GitOps workflows (multi-cluster, multi-env).

• Contribute to CI/CD patterns and deployment strategies together with the team.

Observability

• Evolve and operate our observability stack:

  • Metrics: Prometheus, Thanos

  • Logs: Grafana Loki

  • Traces: Grafana Tempo

  • Instrumentation: OpenTelemetry

  • Help define SLOs, dashboards and alerting that are actually useful for teams.

Networking & connectivity

• Work on Kubernetes networking, Ingress controllers and traffic routing.

• Contribute to designs using Envoy (or Envoy-based components), API gateways and SD-VPN solutions.

Infrastructure as Code

• Build and maintain Terraform modules and state layouts for AWS, Kubernetes and related infrastructure.

• Help migrate existing/manual infrastructure to Terraform with minimal disruption.

• (Bonus) Use Crossplane where it makes sense for Kubernetes-driven provisioning.

Hybrid & on-prem integration

• Support connectivity and integration between cloud workloads and on-prem systems.

Collaboration

• Work as part of the existing Platform team – participate in design reviews, incident reviews and on-call.

• Support product teams as internal customers by providing clear platform interfaces, documentation and examples.

  • Networking (VPC, subnets, routing, security groups, load balancers).

  • Landing Zones

  • IAM and security best practices.

• Strong experience with Kubernetes in production:

  • Operating clusters (EKS or similar).

  • Workloads, deployments, autoscaling, upgrades and cluster lifecycle.

  • Modular design, state management, remote backends.

  • Managing AWS/Kubernetes infrastructure as code at team or org scale.

• Hands-on experience with Argo CD and GitOps principles:

  • Application structure, app-of-apps patterns, promotion across environments, RBAC and ABAC.

• Experience with traditional/on-prem infrastructure (VMs, networks, VPNs, storage, legacy systems) and connecting it to cloud environments.

• Comfortable working in a remote-first environment in European time zones (good written communication, async collaboration).
  

Nice to have:

• Experience with Crossplane in production.

• Experience in a Platform/Enablement team serving multiple product teams..
