Jobbeschreibung

Kubernetes Security Engineer | Red Hat OpenShift / ACS

Location: Germany

Languages: Fluent German and English

Shape the future of container security within a major digital transformation initiative.

We’re supporting a leading technology-driven organisation in building out its container-as-a-service platform based on Red Hat OpenShift and Advanced Cluster Security (ACS). This is a hands‑on, highly autonomous technical role where you’ll be responsible for designing, configuring, and securing Kubernetes clusters used by hundreds of internal users.

You’ll join a small, collaborative team with a strong Linux and open‑source background that’s modernising infrastructure and moving toward full containerisation.

Why Join

• Pivotal technical role in a strategic OpenShift / ACS rollout (approx. 40 containers).
• Freedom to design and implement cluster security architecture from the ground up.
• Close collaboration with Red Hat engineers and direct input into best practices.
• Dynamic, hands‑on culture – a team that supports each other, even outside their core scope.

Your Impact

• Design and configure Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) within existing OpenShift environments.
• Define and implement security policies, governance, and risk frameworks.
• Evaluate and address vulnerabilities and risks proactively.
• Collaborate with Red Hat and internal teams to ensure continuous improvement.
• Act as a technical advisor and knowledge champion, enabling team upskilling.
• Support planning of VM‑to‑container migration and shape the future “container‑as‑a‑service” offering.

What You Bring

• 3+ years’ experience with Kubernetes / container infrastructure (VMware, Proxmox, bare metal).
• Proven experience with Red Hat OpenShift and ACS (Advanced Cluster Security).
• Hands‑on expertise in Kubernetes Security, policy management, and cluster hardening.
• Familiarity with Apache Ranger, OPA, or similar governance tools.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills – comfortable with technical and customer‑facing interaction.
• Fluent in English, and German is a must.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of Azure Security Architecture and container migration.
• Background in Linux engineering, DevSecOps, or cloud security.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary depending on experience.
• Fully remote set up possible.
• Flat hierarchy and direct collaboration with decision‑makers.
• Opportunity to develop into a Service Owner for container security.
