Senior DevOps Engineer (f/m/d)

The AXRT DevOps Team builds and operates the delivery platform for Software Defined Automation — Siemens' next generation of industrial automation. Every code change, every build, every deployment across the SDA product line runs through our platform. We work in an AWS/Kubernetes environment with a high degree of automation, a strong focus on reliability, and a commitment to staying at the technical forefront — including AI-assisted DevOps workflows.

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

This is how you´ll win us over:

• What you bring:
• University degree in Computer Science or a comparable field
• Solid experience developing and operating cloud platforms or distributed systems in agile environments
• Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, containers, CNCF technologies, and Linux — including cluster lifecycle management and advanced troubleshooting
• Hands-on experience with AWS (EKS, IAM, networking), Terraform, and GitLab CI
• Expertise in version control (Git) and a deep understanding of collaborative workflows (branching strategies, merge requests, code reviews)
• Proficiency in Python and scripting (Bash/sh)
• Confident English and German communication skills
• Bonus Points:
• Active contributions to Open Source (OSS) projects, especially within the CNCF or DevOps ecosystem
• Experience with observability platforms (Datadog or comparable) and IAM technologies (SAML v2, OIDC, Keycloak, Auth0, Okta)
• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD)
• Interest in leveraging AI tools (Copilot, coding agents) to improve DevOps workflows — we're early adopters and want people who are curious about this
• Ways of Working:
• You take ownership end-to-end — from identifying the problem to shipping the fix
• You communicate proactively and collaborate closely with development teams to solve real problems, not just close tickets
• You improve what you touch — processes, automation, documentation — because you believe the platform should get better every sprint
