DevOps / Platform Engineer — Scientific Computing

Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen Direct Reports: None Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen. Mission Own build, deployment and infrastructure for scientific software that runs in awkward places — customer premises, restricted laboratory networks, air-gapped sites, and our own cloud. The role combines conventional cloud platform engineering with the harder problem of shipping updatable software into environments we do not control. Responsibilities Pillar 1 Deployment and Delivery • Own build, CI/CD and release for the platform across cloud and on-premise targets. • Build and maintain installers and update paths that work in restricted and offline environments. • Manage database migration and rollback paths for customer installations. Success Metrics and KPIs: release frequency, failed deployments, time to patch a customer site. Pillar 2 Infrastructure • Run the Kubernetes and GitOps side of the platform. • Own secrets management, access control and infrastructure-as-code. • Implement monitoring and log aggregation across internal and customer environments. • Integrate with Constructor's platform, identity and deployment tooling. Success Metrics and KPIs: uptime, mean time to detect, infrastructure reproducible from code. Pillar 3 Security and Governance • Introduce static analysis and dependency and licence scanning into the pipeline. • Own backup, recovery and continuity for the platform. • Support audit and compliance requirements from funded research and customer contracts. Accountability: no single undocumented dependency on one person, including yourself. Requirements Experience • Strong AWS or equivalent, Kubernetes, and configuration management such as Ansible, at production scale. • Real experience of on-premise and offline deployment, not only cloud. • CI/CD pipeline ownership end to end Skills & Competencies • Autonomous and proactive. You have carried infrastructure alone. • Willing to hand knowledge over rather than hold it. • Interested in the product and the science, not only the pipeline. • Clear communicator in English. Education & Languages • Degree in computer science or engineering, or equivalent practical track record. • Fluent English. What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS • Full ownership of infrastructure for a technically unusual product. • A role where you finally get a team around you. • Exposure to a broad modern stack. This role is NOT • A pure cloud or pure on-premise role. • A ticket-driven operations role. • A role without contact with the product. Find Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
