Jobbeschreibung

Become a Part of the companyJoin us and help shape the future of pharmaceutical data!

At the company, we’re building the data backbone behind life-science innovation — a system that identifies, links, and standardizes critical enterprise data in compliance with global standards such as ISO IDMP. We help global life-science companies launch products faster, more safely, and with better patient outcomes.

At the company, you’ll join a collaborative, growth-driven environment where your work makes a real impact from day one.

How you’ll make an impact:

• You set up, maintain, and troubleshoot customer installations, managing both high-standard SaaS environments and restrictive customer on-premise deployments.
• You operate and scale our core AWS infrastructure, managing multi-account environments, EKS, RDS, S3, networking, and IAM.
• You support our development team with product operations, maintaining and extending GitLab CI/CD pipelines, driving declarative GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Kargo), and managing incident response.
• You develop the the company SaaS platform stack, focusing on enhancing platform automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), identity management, and advanced observability.
• You drive our security operations, building out our compliance posture through log reviews, vulnerability scanning, active monitoring, alerting, and supporting ISO 27001 requirements.
• You ensure operational resilience and continuity, working as a key senior pillar to transition our infrastructure from a single-point-of-failure risk to a robust, well-documented architecture.

What helps you succeed:

• Adaptability & Continuous Learning: A strong engineering mindset with a proven ability to pick up new tools, architectures, and methodologies rapidly as our ecosystem evolves.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Foundation: 3–5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering, with production exposure to a major cloud provider (we use AWS, but Azure or GCP experience is just as welcome).
• Containerization Concepts: Solid foundational knowledge of the Kubernetes ecosystem, Docker containerization, and configuring CI/CD pipelines (such as GitLab CI).
• Modern Operations (Our Stack): Familiarity with—or a strong desire to learn—Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and declarative GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Kargo).
• Observability & Security Awareness: Observability & Security: Familiarity with cloud security tooling and monitoring/observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch). Experience building a security posture is a strong plus.
• Core Competencies: Business fluency in English and an openness to integrating AI-assisted tools (like Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT) into your daily scripting and debugging workflows. (It’s a nice-to-have bonus if you have prior experience with Elasticsearch, Keycloak, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, or compliance frameworks like ISO 27001!)

Why you’ll love working here:

• Hybrid work model: Work from our Cologne office with flexible hybrid arrangements.
• 30 days of paid vacation for a healthy work-life balance.
• Competitive salary package aligned with your experience and impact.
• Personal growth and development: Access a flexible budget for training, conferences, or other learning opportunities that support your individual development goals.
• Choose your perk: Enjoy either a subsidized Urban Sports Club membership or a City Plus Card with a €50 monthly allowance.
• Empowerment and ownership: Take responsibility and shape your role as we grow together.
• Modern work setup: Select your preferred system and hardware – Windows, Linux, or Mac.
• Collaborative culture: Be part of a dynamic, start-up-like environment that values flexibility, trust, and innovation.

Not ticking every box?We encourage you to apply anyway! We know great talent doesn’t always follow a checklist and we care more about your potential, curiosity, and motivation to learn.

At the company, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We especially encourage women and people from underrepresented backgrounds in tech, science, and data to apply.
