Remote in our day-to-day work. On-site when it matters.
We work remote by default – focused, efficient, and with full ownership. For larger features, architectural decisions, and real brainstorming sessions, we come together in Berlin – fast, hands-on, and without unnecessary meeting overhead.
We use AI to accelerate – not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.
Your mission
Build and evolve our developer platforms to enable fast feedback, high quality, and maximum flexibility.
Design and automate developer platforms that empower teams to move fast and ship with confidence
Integrate modern tools into CI/CD pipelines – always with a focus on functional safety and reliability
Take ownership of our GKE / Kubernetes infrastructure on Google Cloud – and actively shape it
Harden systems proactively through strong security engineering – don’t wait for a pen test to find issues
Continuously improve our platform to make development faster, safer, and more scalable
Your skills
Bring deep expertise in DevOps – and take full ownership of the systems you work on.
Must-have:
Bring 5+ years of DevOps engineering experience – as a builder, not an observer
Be an expert in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and confidently work with Kubernetes and Linux
Use Infrastructure as Code, Docker/CRI-O, and shell scripting as part of your daily toolkit
Own your stack end-to-end – no handovers, no ticket ping-pong, no excuses
Nice-to-have:
Experience with tools like Graylog, Grafana, Prometheus, Python, or Jenkins
Experience with Ansible, Terraform, or AWS
Why you’ll love working with us
Ownership over tickets: You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement – we rely on you to take things forward.
Build > Talk: We test what works – not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community – we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.
And yes – the fundamentals are covered too: 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off, Smart Fridays (4 days week possible), mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad), sports & health offerings, mental health support, corporate benefits, RTL+ access, and more.
Your CV is just the starting point.
What matters more to us than your resume: a portfolio, a side project, a demo repo – anything that shows you don’t just talk about code, you ship it. Production-ready. Thought through. Done.
