You have the opportunity to join our team and tackle business challenges in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment characterized by close collaboration with business stakeholders.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will help build and operate the cloud foundation behind a European B2B marketplace platform for a leading European trade and services cooperation connecting thousands of suppliers and hundreds of retailers. The platform brings a growing set of digital services for retail and industry together in one place, running cloud-native on Microsoft Azure.

Working closely with fullstack engineers developing Java/Quarkus backend services and Angular frontends, you will ensure the platform is automated, reliable, secure, and ready to scale.

Your Role and Responsibilities:

• CI/CD Pipelines: Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps Pipelines and/or GitHub Actions) for Java/Quarkus backend services and Angular frontend applications.
• Kubernetes Operations: Manage and operate containerized workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including deployments, scaling, and configuration using Helm.
• Infrastructure as Code: Provision and manage cloud infrastructure as code using Terraform and/or Bicep, keeping environments consistent and reproducible.
• Observability: Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and/or Prometheus and Grafana.
• Platform Security: Apply security best practices across the platform, including secrets management with Azure Key Vault, identity and access management (Entra ID), and container image scanning.
• Developer Experience & Reliability: Support development teams with build tooling, container registries (Azure Container Registry), and environment setup, helping improve delivery speed. Troubleshoot infrastructure and deployment issues, take part in incident resolution, and contribute to the continuous improvement of platform reliability.

Your Skills and Experiences:

• Around 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform, or Cloud Engineering roles.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, ideally including AKS, Azure Container Registry, Key Vault, networking, and Azure Monitor.
• Solid experience with Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with Helm.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Bicep.
• Practical experience building CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
• Good scripting skills (Bash, PowerShell, or Python).
• Familiarity with the build and deployment lifecycle of Java applications (Maven/Gradle) and frontend applications (Node.js/npm) is a plus.
• Experience with GitOps tools (such as Argo CD or Flux), observability stacks, or Azure certifications (such as AZ-104 or AZ-400) is a plus.
• A highly collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills to thrive in cross-functional Agile/Scrum teams.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written); German is a plus.
