About:
 

A German logistics company, specializing in the secure transport and storage of high-value items like art and cultural artifacts, is building a custom ERP system from the ground up.
 

Off-the-shelf solutions don’t meet the company’s needs, so the company is investing in a modern, scalable infrastructure to support operations across multiple businesses within the holding. The project is in the MVP stage, designed with clean architecture, clear processes, and full documentation—no legacy systems.
 

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will play a key role in building and optimizing cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and ensuring system reliability. This is a long-term opportunity in a stable company committed to continuous innovation.

Your Role:

The Senior DevOps Engineer will collaborate with 2 frontend developers, 5 backend developers, and QA specialists to advance a cutting-edge system based on a microservices architecture. Responsibilities include enhancing CI/CD pipelines, optimizing Azure Cloud infrastructure, and ensuring scalability, security, and reliability. 

Key tasks involve:

• Evolving DevOps pipelines by onboarding new resource types and provisioning resources for development and future business needs.
• Automating infrastructure and alerting for rapid issue detection and resolution.
• Crafting disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity management (BCM) strategies.
• Applying networking expertise to maintain a robust, secure environment.

This position offers the opportunity to shape a forward-thinking platform using proven open-source and cloud-native tools like Terraform, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, and Helm, within a modern stack featuring Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kafka, and Kubernetes.

What You Bring:

• Proven experience with Azure (familiarity with other hyperscalers is a plus).
• Practical understanding of DevOps across software development, testing, and operations.
• Hands-on expertise with cloud-native tools and a track record of effective implementation.
• Strong skills in CI/CD pipeline development (e.g., GitLab CI/CD).
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Terragrunt) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker, Helm).
• Ability to automate monitoring and alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo).
• Solid networking knowledge and, ideally, experience with Windows and M365.
• A pragmatic approach rooted in DRY, KISS, and YAGNI principles.
• Strong communication, creativity, and a commitment to well-documented code.
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively with a goal-oriented, structured mindset.

Project Tech Stack:

The ERP system being supported is built with the following technologies:

• Java 17, Spring Boot, Angular
• Kafka for real-time data streaming, Elasticsearch for search capabilities
• PostgreSQL as the primary database
• Azure Kubernetes, Docker, Helm
• GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Terragrunt
• Monitoring and logging with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, SLF4J
• Testing frameworks: JUnit (Jupiter), Mockito, Instancio, Cucumber
• Additional tools: Flyway, FeignClient, JasperReports, MS Graph API

Why Apply?:
 

• Join a dynamic, close-knit team passionate about crafting future-proof software and DevOps solutions in the captivating world of specialized logistics.
• Access continuous learning and growth opportunities.
• Thrive in a transparent, trust-driven culture with flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and a focus on continuous improvement—from the team to leadership.
• Experience an open, friendly, and error-tolerant environment with a first-name-based culture that values every contribution.
