We are an engineering organization. Our mission is to “Ship great software” and build custom, large-scale software platforms on time, on budget and on target.

In over two decades, we have never failed to deliver what we promised.

85% of our members are software engineers with a background in computer science, physics or mathematics, many also with a strong background in machine learning.

freiheit.com technologies was founded in Hamburg in the midst of the first internet boom in the last millennium in 1999.Since then, we’ve been building custom software platforms and helping our clients to create their future business models based on software.

For over a quarter of a century, we have been working for the "Who's Who" of German and European industrial and commercial companies. Retail, automotive, e-commerce, healthcare and more.

Our large-scale software platforms are used by millions of users every day. Each product has a business-critical, strategic relevance for our customers.

We have a team of 250+ employees from 30+ nations in our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon.

We make “mission impossible” possible and very often create things that no one has ever built before.

Our teams work data-driven to constantly optimize their own productivity by removing friction from their work. Each member takes on end-to-end responsibility for their work. To be successful, you need to be productive. To be productive, you need to be efficient and effective.

Technology never rests. Neither do we.

• As a Site Reliability Engineer you apply software engineering principles to run large-scale systems.
• You are responsible for the reliability and performance of large-scale, distributed systems running in the cloud. You set up the test and production environments together with our engineering teams using infrastructure as code. You automate manual tasks and monitor your clusters on your own responsibility.
• You are able to do administrative tasks, but you automate any repeating tasks.
• You’re interested in automation, keeping things simple, and supporting engineering teams to continuously ship great software.
• The job profile is new and a great opportunity for system administrators or software engineers interested in running large cloud systems.
• This job requires software engineering, programming and systems administration skills.
• We have a flexible Hybrid Work model where most people work 2-3 days per week from home.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related fields like Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience in UNIX systems administration
• Programming experience – ideally in Go

Bonus skills and interests: 

• Master or PhD in Computer Science or related fields like Mathematics or Physics
• Experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure
• Experience with observability (logging, monitoring, alerting, tracing)
• Experience with networking
• Experience with security
• Experience working with distributed systems in the Cloud (Terraform)
• Experience in setting up CI/CD pipelines

If you ask anyone why they work here, it's pretty likely that they will say “because of the people” and “because I've never learned so much in my life”.

We believe that productive people are happy people.

In our engineering hubs in Hamburg and Lisbon, you will meet smart, nice, ambitious people from all over the world.

Becoming a well-rounded professional in your field of expertise is a long journey that takes many years of hard work and learning. Our company is the best place to become that person.
