The Opportunity

Our client is an established technology business operating a complex, business-critical digital platform used by organisations across multiple international markets.

As the platform continues to evolve, they are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to take technical ownership of the underlying infrastructure and help ensure the reliability, scalability and smooth operation of their services.

This is a hands-on engineering position rather than a people-management role. You will work closely with software engineering teams and have a direct influence on how the infrastructure is developed, deployed and operated.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and further develop the company's DevOps and cloud infrastructure.
• Work closely with development teams to understand technical and operational requirements and translate these into infrastructure solutions.
• Take a hands-on approach to infrastructure, deployment and operational improvements.
• Plan and coordinate releases, deployments and go-lives.
• Support the transition of new services into production and ongoing operation.
• Manage configuration, patching, updates and release strategies.
• Improve system reliability, availability, monitoring and performance.
• Work with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.
• Contribute to wider infrastructure and technical projects.
• Collaborate with engineering, internal stakeholders and external technology/service partners.

What We're Looking For

• Several years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure or Systems Engineering.
• Strong understanding of IT infrastructure, networking and systems administration.
• Good experience with Linux/Unixenvironments.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.
• Experience supporting complex production environments, including deployments, releases, configuration and patching.
• Comfortable taking ownership of infrastructure projects and working across technical teams.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent German and very good English.

Why This Role?

• Senior technical ownership without direct people management.
• Opportunity to influence the development of a complex infrastructure environment.
• Hands-on exposure to cloud, Kubernetes and modern DevOps practices.
• Hybrid working around the Munich area.
• Long-term opportunity within an established technology organisation.
