We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a growing technology team and help build, maintain and improve modern cloud infrastructure and development platforms.

The environment is AWS-focused, but we’re open to DevOps and Cloud Engineers with experience across AWS, Azure, GCP or other cloud platforms, provided you have strong hands-on experience with modern DevOps tooling and practices.

You’ll work closely with Software Engineers and other technical teams to improve how applications are built, deployed and operated, with a strong focus on automation, scalability, reliability and security.

What you’ll be doing

• Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure, with a primary focus on AWS
• Manage and improve Kubernetes and containerised environments
• Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools
• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
• Automate repetitive processes and improve developer workflows
• Monitor systems, troubleshoot incidents and improve platform reliability
• Implement cloud security and access-control best practices
• Work closely with Software Engineers to support reliable and efficient application delivery
• Contribute to architectural and technical decisions as the platform evolves
• Improve documentation, processes and engineering standards

What we’re looking for

• Professional experience as a DevOps, Cloud, Platform or Infrastructure Engineer
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, GCP or another major cloud platform
• Good experience with Kubernetes and/or Docker
• Experience with Terraform or another Infrastructure-as-Code technology
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
• Comfortable working with Linux and scripting, ideally Bash and/or Python
• Experience with monitoring, logging and observability
• Understanding of networking, security and cloud architecture
• A strong automation mindset and interest in improving engineering processes
• Good communication skills and the ability to work closely with Software Engineering teams

The Technology

The environment is AWS-biased, but the exact cloud background isn't a deal-breaker. If you have strong DevOps experience in Azure, GCP or another cloud environment, we'd still like to hear from you.

Experience with technologies such as:

• AWS / Azure / GCP
• Kubernetes / Docker
• Terraform
• GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins
• Argo CD / Helm
• Prometheus / Grafana / Datadog
• Linux / Bash / Python
• IAM, networking and cloud security

What’s on offer

• €60,000 – €80,000 salary, depending on experience
• A technically challenging DevOps role with genuine ownership
• Modern cloud and containerised infrastructure
• The opportunity to influence tooling, processes and architecture
• Close collaboration with experienced Software Engineering teams
• Flexible hybrid working in Cologne
• Opportunities for professional and technical development
