Jobbeschreibung

Please note that this position requires work authorization for Germany.
The language requirements for this position are: English - Conversational (B1-B2), German - Fluent (C1).

We use AI to accelerate - not to replace thinking.
We design the system, steer the output, and take responsibility for what we ship.
Fast where it makes sense. Careful where it matters.

Activities

The Challenge

Most companies treat DevOps as a ticket-system: „I need a database“, „My pipeline is broken“. That is not what we do at smartclip .

Your Mission

• Architect the Developer Experience: Design and automate platforms that empower our teams to move fast and ship with absolute confidence. Eliminate bottlenecks. Kill the friction.
• Weaponise CI/CD: Integrate modern tooling into our pipelines. Ensure functional safety and reliability are baked into the process, not added as an afterthought.
• Dominate the Cloud: Take full ownership of our GKE / Kubernetes infrastructure on Google Cloud. Shape it, evolve it, and push it to its limits.
• Harden the Perimeter: Execute proactive security engineering. Hunt for vulnerabilities before the pen-testers do. Build a fortress, not a fence.
• Scale the Future: Continuously evolve the platform. Make development faster, safer, and infinitely more scalable.

Requirements

Your Skills

• Bring 5+ Years of Combat Experience: Prove your track record in DevOps engineering. Be a builder, not an observer.
• Command the GCP Ecosystem: Master Google Cloud Platform. Work confidently with Kubernetes and Linux. Treat the cloud as your playground.
• Code Your Infrastructure: Use Infrastructure as Code, Docker/CRI-O, and shell scripting as your primary weapons. If you have to do it twice, automate it.
• Own the Stack End-to-End: Kill the ticket ping-pong. Stop the handovers. Take full responsibility from the first line of Terraform to the final production pod. No excuses.

Bonus XP

• Leverage Graylog, Grafana, Prometheus, Python, or Jenkins to gain total observability.
• Deploy with Ansible, Terraform, or AWS.

Team

• Ownership over tickets: You’re trusted with real responsibility, not just tasks. No unnecessary bureaucracy, no micromanagement - we rely on you to take things forward.
• Build > Talk: We test what works - not what sounds good. Fail fast, learn faster.
• High standards, low ego: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Direct feedback, honest collaboration, no drama.
• Stay sharp: Hackathons, conferences, community - we invest in your growth and keep you at the cutting edge.

And yes - the fundamentals are covered too:

• 30 days of vacation + Dec 24 & 31 off
• Smart Fridays (4 days week possible)
• mobility (Germany ticket & JobRad)
• sports & health offerings
• mental health support
• corporate benefits
• RTL+ access
• and more
