Senior DevOps Engineer - Global Identity Platform

You will take full ownership of the Kubernetes-based platform and its continuous evolution, ensuring it is secure, scalable, and resilient across environments. You will define and document architectural decisions while actively contributing to hands-on implementation and platform improvements.

• Drive end-to-end ownership of a GKE-based platform, including cluster design, workload patterns, and multi-region resilience strategies
• Define and maintain platform architecture standards, documenting decisions through ADRs and aligning with enterprise stakeholders
• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps workflows using tools such as ArgoCD/Flux, Helm, and Git-based pipelines
• Design and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform to ensure scalable and reproducible cloud environments
• Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic
• Ensure secure identity and access integration using OIDC, SAML, mTLS, and related IAM frameworks in collaboration with identity engineering teams
• Maintain compliance with regulatory and security standards including Zero Trust, audit readiness, BaFin, and DORA requirements
• Collaborate with architects, security officers, and senior leadership to align platform strategy and technical direction

Requirements:

You bring strong experience in cloud-native platform engineering and a deep understanding of Kubernetes and DevOps practices in enterprise environments. You are comfortable working in regulated contexts where security, compliance, and reliability are core design principles.

• Several years of experience operating Kubernetes in production, ideally on Google Cloud Platform or other hyperscalers
• Strong expertise with DevOps toolchains including Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD/Flux, GitLab CI or GitHub Actions
• Solid understanding of cloud-native principles such as declarative infrastructure, immutable systems, and automation-first design
• Experience with observability and security tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, Vault, or cloud-native secret management solutions

• Experience working in regulated or enterprise-scale environments with compliance and audit requirements
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to both engineering and executive stakeholders
• Fluent English required; German is a plus

Benefits:

• 100% remote work within Germany with flexible working arrangements
