DevOps / Security Engineer

Requirements:

• Around 3–5 years keeping production systems healthy in a DevOps, SRE, platform or security role, ideally somewhere small enough that you’ve had to cover a lot of ground yourself
• At home on both sides of a hybrid setup: managed cloud services (compute, networking, storage, access control) and physical servers you’ve set up yourself and fixed when components fail
• In-depth knowledge of Linux and core networking, including routing, DNS, TCP/IP, firewalls and locking down remote access
• Automation as second nature: IaC, pipelines, monitoring, readable Python or Bash scripts, and incident handling and restore procedures you’ve actually tested
• Working English, plus German understanding

Responsibilities:

• Run a hybrid estate of public cloud and self-managed hardware, from Linux hosts and storage through to the network links that join them
• Treat infrastructure as code: automated builds, configuration management and deployment pipelines that can be safely rolled back
• Look after machines from first install to retirement, including updates, sizing for growth and liaising with hardware vendors
• Make sure telemetry tells the team something worth knowing, and get to the root of outages and slowdowns wherever they start
• Prove that resilience works through regular recovery drills, failover tests and a disaster recovery plan the team trusts
• Build security into the infrastructure itself, keeping a compliance-heavy environment hardened against an evolving threat landscape
• Take a turn on the support rota and speak with customers from time to time
