Can you develop infrastructure as code (IaC) and set up IT environments in the cloud? Do you live and breathe microservices? And do you have a passion for systems that wed scalability and security?

Is your tool know-how always up to date? Can you set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines, monitor the ELK stack as well as work with AWS and Azure Cloud resources? Do you have an insatiable hunger for new knowledge and love working in agile and cross-disciplinary teams with teammates who go the extra mile to solve problems?

Join us and become part of our team of researchers, developers, engineers, designers and entrepreneurs. Help us turn challenging projects into success stories by building brilliantly simple digital products and services.

• In-house software development in small, agile teams – for customers or for our own products and services. True to the motto: “You build it, you run it!”

• On the ‘Dev’ side…

  • Writing scripts and setting up tools for agile software development contexts that support and boost the increasing automation of testing, building and deployment
  • Evaluating and analyzing new and existing technologies, frameworks and tools so they can be used productively in the software development process

• On the ‘Ops’ side…

  • Secure and stable operation of high-availability and high-performance IT systems with independent fault clearance, troubleshooting and analysis. E.g., through well-planned update cycles, clean monitoring and ongoing development
• Continuous improvement of quality through relentless root-cause analysis, detailed code reviews, thorough documentation and rigorous application of all relevant security standards
• Active sharing of experiences and skills within and across teams to improve software and code quality

• Degree in computer science with above-average grades (preferably M.Sc., diploma or PhD) or similar qualification
• Several years of practical experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins) as well as server infrastructure (on-premise, AWS, Azure), both independently and as part of a team (e.g., through work experience, open-source projects or internships)

• Technical know-how about IT architecture and security, design patterns and best practices

  • Client/server, microservices, gateways, message brokers, storage
  • Security (certificates, SSL/TLS, hashing, secrets)
  • Networking (DNS, IP, ports, firewalls, VPN, subnets, load balancing, etc.)
  • Protocols (SMTP, SFTP, HTTP, TCP & UDP, SSH, RDP)

• Able to handle some of our tools and frameworks with expert knowledge and skills

  • Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Terragrunt)
  • Containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Automation (Bash, Powershell, Ansible, Terraform)
  • Code management (Git, build tools such as Maven, Gradle & npm)
  • Linux (Debian, RHEL & general tooling [GNU])
  • Monitoring (ELK, Prometheus + Grafana, logs, health checks)
• A solid grasp of basic backend development skills and concepts
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills with good judgment and appreciation for feedback to develop and grow
