Platform & DevOps Engineer

Who you are

• Cloud Platform: Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure across compute, networking, storage, identity, and governance, plus an understanding of cloud architecture principles that extends beyond Azure
• Automation: Skilled with Terraform, Bicep, or ARM, with CI/CD pipelines built and run in production using GitLab CI/CD or comparable tools, and configuration management automated rather than manually maintained
• Containers & Scripting: Experience with Docker and Kubernetes/Nomad or Azure ACA/ACI, plus solid scripting skills in Python, PowerShell, or Bash
• Observability & Security: Monitoring, logging, and alerting as part of daily work, applied understanding of IAM, RBAC, Zero Trust, and Privileged Identity Management, and hands-on experience with GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI DSS
• FinOps: Cloud usage analysis, resource optimization, and cost-efficient architectures built into your design from the start, not an afterthought. Azure certifications, FinOps frameworks, serverless architectures, or experience with distributed or hybrid systems are a plus
• Working Style: Analytical, solution-oriented thinking, ownership in a cross-functional environment, clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, fluent English, and a healthy sense of humor

What the job involves

• As Platform & DevOps Engineer (m/f/d) in a hybrid setup at one of our locations in Munich, Berlin, or Halle (Saale), you own our cloud platform, primarily on Microsoft Azure
• You decide how we design, operate, and optimize infrastructure, with a clear focus on scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency
• At the same time, you keep evolving our CI/CD platform and self-service tools, enabling our engineering teams to deploy faster and more securely
• Azure Platform Ownership: You own the design, operation, and evolution of our cloud infrastructure, from compute and networking to identity and governance
• Infrastructure as Code instead of click-ops: You develop and maintain IaC with Terraform, provide reusable modules, and automate what would otherwise be manual and error-prone
• Evolve our CI/CD platform: You automate deployments across the entire software lifecycle and build self-service platforms that make dev teams more autonomous
• Keep developer experience front and center: You work closely with engineering and product to continuously improve delivery processes and platform capabilities
• Own platform reliability: You monitor performance, availability, and stability, and proactively address infrastructure and deployment issues before they become incidents
• Security by design: Together with our CISO team, you build security controls directly into the platform and CI/CD processes, including Azure security services, policies, and benchmarks
• Cost efficiency as a design principle: You consistently optimize infrastructure and deployment platforms for scalability, performance, and cost, from the start rather than as an afterthought
• FinOps in practice: You build cloud cost monitoring, budgeting, and forecasting, and deliver concrete recommendations for ongoing cost optimization
