Senior DevOps Engineer (w/m/d) - remote flexibel

Your Job

Are you a developer with good experience in managing cloud infrastructure or a DevOps engineer with a background in software development? This is what you do on a daily basis: 

• You update, upgrade and operate the business critical infrastructure all products at Europace are built upon.

• You abstract away all the nitty gritty details of infrastructure, enabling our developers to take responsibility for operating their workloads without being operations experts.

• You work on our DevPro product, create ideas, run proof-of-concepts and experiments to figure out what to build to make our products more secure, more reliable, more efficient and easier to use. 

• You write code to automate recurring tasks, feed data into the data lake, or implement an infrastructure service. Sometimes on your own, sometimes in a pairing session, never without a code review.  

• You propose, discuss, and make technical decisions with the team via architectural decisions record or RFCs.

• You are part of our working hours on-call duty rotation, answering requests from developers, fixing bugs, and taking care of alerts. You help solve our own and our users' incidents. 

• You support other teams using our products by joining them to migrate their workloads, setting up Auto Scaling and Zero-downtime deployments for their services, teaching them how to effectively use our observability stack for troubleshooting.
