Jobbeschreibung

The Software Factory is secunet's innovation program, designed to provide the technical means to develop entirely new product classes. We are building an Internal Developer Platform to standardize our Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) and significantly improve developer experience. As a Platform Engineer, you will take technical and conceptual ownership for designing, building, operating, and evolving this platform. You will create a secure, highly automated, and productivity-enhancing environment for our developers — focusing strongly on infrastructure-as-code, observability, security, and self-service.

Our platform is based on a modern, open-source-driven stack with a strong focus on reproducibility, security, and efficiency :

Nix & NixOS — our foundation for reproducible builds and declarative system configuration

Rust — our lingua franca for systems and backend development

Terraform — infrastructure as code

OpenTelemetry — for standardized observability

Grafana's LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir)

GitLab — as our central DevOps tooling

OpenStack — our private cloud infrastructure

Kubernetes & GitOps — our runtime and delivery infrastructure
