Description du poste

GemOne is an international specialist in smart telematics solutions for industrial fleets, headquartered in Waregem, Belgium. As an innovative scale-up and a subsidiary of TVH, a global market leader in parts and accessories for industrial vehicles, GemOne combines decades of experience in industrial equipment with deep expertise in digitalization and connectivity.

The company develops both hardware (such as proprietary trackers, sensors, and cameras) and software platforms that enable companies worldwide to monitor, manage, and secure their machinery. Its core business involves capturing data from industrial machines via self-developed hardware and visualizing it on a user-friendly, centralized platform.

GemOne’s trackers are integrated directly into machines and communicate constantly with the cloud application. These trackers provide not only real-time information such as location, usage hours, or maintenance status but can also actively intervene—for example, by immobilizing a machine if a mandatory safety checklist has not been completed. In this way, GemOne supports companies in optimizing their fleet management, increasing workplace safety, and making data-driven decisions.

With thousands of active customers in Europe, the US, and beyond, and tens of thousands of devices connected to its systems, GemOne positions itself as a crucial player in the digitalization of industrial operations worldwide.

Role

As a DevOps Engineer, you form the essential bridge between the product team's ambitions and the technical stability of the global platform. You provide the fundamental architecture upon which software developers build by standardizing processes and anchoring Infrastructure as Code (IaC). You ensure that innovations can be brought to market faster, more securely, and at a larger scale.

This role is crucial to GemOne’s international growth strategy. In an environment that is constantly evolving and expanding, you ensure scalability and reliability. By facilitating a "self-service" culture where development teams can operate independently but within secure frameworks, you act as an enabler that increases the overall effectiveness of the IT organization. You are not only the guardian of continuity via robust disaster recovery plans but also the driving force behind the technological modernization that allows GemOne to remain a global market leader in telematics.

Tasks and Responsibilities

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the backbone of the GemOne Cloud platform. You are both operationally active and strategically involved in improving the infrastructure.

Infrastructure as Code & Architecture

• Design, develop, and maintain complex Terraform configurations for managing GCP resources.
• Build out a multi-cluster and multi-region architecture to support international growth, including setting up local hosting in the US.
• Guarantee that the complete application environment can be fully rebuilt from code (from scratch) and be operational within 5 business days.
• Implement and monitor IaC best practices across the entire organization.

Automation & CI/CD

• Standardize and optimize the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and associated deployment pipelines in Bitbucket.
• Automate software repositories and GCP projects to ensure a uniform way of working.
• Develop tooling that enables backend teams to manage their own resources in a secure, standardized manner.

Security, Stability & Monitoring

• Act as the driving force behind SecOps: critically reviewing permissions and ensuring security across all dev teams.
• Design and technically implement a robust Disaster Recovery Plan to ensure business continuity.
• Set up and fine-tune advanced monitoring and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Cloud Monitoring) to proactively resolve incidents.
• Work closely with product development teams to ensure smooth releases and optimal operational performance.
• Act as a critical sparring partner who dares to challenge the status quo and proposes concrete improvements for the cloud infrastructure.
• Actively contribute to the DevOps roadmap by translating technological trends (such as new GCP features) into value for GemOne.

Experience and Background

• Minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience in a DevOps environment.
• Cloud Expertise: In-depth knowledge of Cloud infrastructure, preferably within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Experience with AWS or Azure is also valuable.
• Infrastructure as Code: Expertise in designing and managing infrastructure via Terraform.
• Software Development Lifecycle: Preferably a background in Application Development or a deep understanding of developer needs.
• Scripting: Strong skills in scripting languages such as Python and Bash for automating recurring tasks and processes.
• CI/CD: Experience setting up and maintaining pipelines, specifically in Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.
• Monitoring: Knowledge of monitoring and alerting tools such as Prometheus or Cloud Monitoring.
• Experience with container orchestration tools such as Kubernetes is a "nice to have."
• Experience with multi-cluster or multi-region architectures is a "nice to have."
• Experience in a fast-growing scale-up environment is a "nice to have."
• Fluent in English. Knowledge of Dutch is a plus.

Offer

• Impact on a global scale: Work on a cloud platform currently connecting tens of thousands of devices, scaling up to over 100,000 active units worldwide in the near future.
• Strategic technical projects: The opportunity to lead complex architectural challenges, such as the transition to multi-region hosting (including the US) and the full automation of the infrastructure lifecycle.
• Best of both worlds: Enjoy the agility and "can-do" mentality of a scale-up, backed by the stability and network of TVH, a global market leader.
• Innovative work environment: Located in Waregem at the TVH facilities, featuring a TVH park, running track, restaurant, etc.
• Flexibility and balance: A hybrid work model with 2 days of remote work per week and flexible working hours to maintain work-life balance.
• Continuous learning: Room for professional development through external training and close collaboration with experienced senior colleagues.
• Competitive package: An attractive salary supplemented by extra benefits such as group and hospitalization insurance, a company car, bike leasing, and necessary hardware (laptop and iPhone).
• Pioneering role: As a DevOps Engineer, you have the freedom to explore and implement new technologies and "greenfield" projects that define the company's roadmap.
