YOUR CHALLENGES

  • Operation and further development of our container platform
    You’ll take full ownership of our Kubernetes cluster – from configuration and maintenance of master and worker nodes to continuously evolving the platform.
  • Kubernetes infrastructure under your responsibility
    You’ll be responsible for setting up and maintaining the etcd database, network components (CNI plugins), and potentially a service mesh, ensuring a reliable cluster architecture.
  • Container runtimes under control
    Whether Docker or Containerd – you’ll ensure the smooth operation of our container runtime environment.
  • Stable SaaS deployments – with your support
    You’ll manage tenant separation via RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), oversee namespace management, monitor the cluster, and scale the environment efficiently to keep our SaaS offering high-performing at all times.
  • Effective automation
    You’ll contribute to our CI/CD pipelines and help us roll out new versions of our EPIM Universe applications quickly and reliably.
  • Forward-thinking updates
    You’ll plan regular updates to the Kubernetes stack in a way that ensures continuous availability and operations – for example, via rolling upgrades.
  • Reliable backup & recovery
    You’ll implement backup and recovery strategies (e.g., etcd backups) and ensure resource-efficient usage within the pods.

 

 

STAND OUT WITH THESE QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Solid professional experience in infrastructure
    You have at least 5 to 10 years of relevant work experience, ideally in container infrastructure, DevOps, or cloud-native environments.
  • Container technologies? You’ve mastered them.
    You bring in-depth knowledge of Docker and Containerd and are very familiar with modern container orchestration using Kubernetes.
  • Hands-on Kubernetes experience
    You’ve operated Kubernetes clusters in production, are skilled in deployment troubleshooting, and work confidently with tools like Kubectl, Kustomize, or Helm.
  • Cloud-native is your home turf
    You’re familiar with the cloud-native ecosystem: monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana are no strangers to you, and you know how logging works in Kubernetes using Fluentd or the Elastic Stack.
  • Linux and networking under control
    You have solid knowledge of Linux system administration and are comfortable with Kubernetes-related networking topics, especially service discovery and container networking.
  • CI/CD? That’s your thing.
    You’re experienced with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Ansible and know how to design modern deployment processes efficiently.
  • Clear communication – technically and linguistically
    You’re proficient in English (and German), written and spoken – you’ll use both regularly in our international environment.
