NICE TO HAVE

RESPONSIBILITIES

- You will be part of the infrastructure team; we expect the new joiner to bring challenging ideas and controversial opinions to keep pushing the platform forward.
- The infrastructure team is meant to help the other teams (Data and Application team) to support them in their tasks. You will need to automate as much as possible the infrastructure and create documentation for the teams to operate independently.
- As the project is in an insurance environment, customer data is critical, so you'll need to protect it very carefully while allowing speed of development. Creativity is always required to bring new concepts that allow to be more secure but still do not impact the other teams.
- You will be responsible for what you build and the way you build it, meaning you should put effort into thinking beforehand. You should design the solution and share those ideas with your colleagues. Stand strong on your ideas but also accept feedback. Always question yourself and question your solution on how it can be improved.
- Embrace the idea of automation! While recognizing that everything can be automated, it's essential to use common sense: assess whether the effort is justified in terms of time spent and benefits.
- The main goal is customer quality, so the team should design and implement strategies to make sure the platform is running flawlessly. A good monitoring solution, with quality alerts that are triggered only when needed. And finally, a good set of runbooks will need to be built and improved.
- Collaborate with the Platform Architect, constantly upskilling and staying informed about emerging technologies.
- Participate in maintaining the security concept documentation and align it with ISO standards
- Cooperate with customers' ISO to ensure compliance and alignment of the platform by standards and requirements

PROJECT

Our customer is the largest German insurance company and one of the biggest insurance across the world. Their platform is running on top of AWS. They have several accounts, built following the cloud landing zone concept. The team uses SaaS solutions to improve the scalability, usability, and security of the platform, in particular:

- Datadog that is used for monitoring purposes
- Okta As the center of Identity and user management
- Prisma cloud to gather insights and benchmark the platform with the best security practices
- Cloudflare to provide zero trust access to internal applications (no VPN is used)

All the applications are deployed using Kubernetes, and the team is managing 4 Kubernetes clusters for different environments.

The team's belief is Automation and Infrastructure as code, therefore, nothing is done manually - there's a CI/CD that deploys resources using Terraform/Terragrunt and Argocd/Helm.

We are looking for a person who can combine the DevOps role with Security tasks, translating the formal ISO requirements together with the infrastructure engineers into a practical security concept that can be used as evidence in the discussion with the customer ISOs. Additionally, you should know all security measures for the platform and workplace in and out so that you can answer the relevant questions coming from the ISO.

WE OFFER

- Competitive salary depending on your experience
- Professional development opportunities
- Study and practice of English: courses and communication with colleagues and clients from different countries
- Yoga classes
- Compensation package (paid vacation, sick leaves)
- Flexible working hours (from 9-11 to 18-20)
- Comfortable office or possibility to work remotely

If your qualifications and experience match the requirements of the position, our recruitment team will reach out to you in a week maximum. Please rest assured that we carefully consider each candidate, but due to the amount of applications, the review and further processing of your candidacy may take some time.
