Job description

Einleitung

To strengthen our Product Gameserver Team, we are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (m/f/x) to join us as soon as possible and actively shape our area of expertise.
As an SRE (m/f/x), you will be the architect and defender of our infrastructure, ensuring maximum uptime, performance, and stability – so that millions of players can enjoy a seamless gaming experience at all times.

Your mission

• Cluster Master:You are responsible for the smooth and highly available operation of our Kubernetes clusters. You scale, maintain, and optimize the environment where countless gaming adventures take place.
• Latency and Bug Hunter: You ensure the smooth operation of our Go-based Kubernetes operators and other services. Performance optimization and bug tracking are like an exciting quest for you, all to guarantee the best possible experience for our players.
• Terraform Architect:You design the blueprint for our infrastructure using Terraform. Through Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you create an automated and reproducible foundation on which our customers can build their own digital kingdoms.
• Ansible Master:Repetitive manual tasks are your ultimate challenge. With Ansible, you automate configuration management, deployments, and everything else that gets in your way, helping you create a stable and consistent environment.
• Guardian of performance: You develop and maintain our monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., using Prometheus & Grafana) to detect problems before they lead to a "game over.".

Your profile

• Kubernetes veteran: You have in-depth, hands‑on experience operating, managing, and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters in a production environment.
• Infrastructure as Code is your credo: You are fluent in Terraform and have already built and managed complex infrastructures with it.
• Automation in your blood: You have strong knowledge of Ansible and use it to eliminate manual processes and increase efficiency.
• A passion for stability: You think in terms of concepts like SLAs, SLOs, and error budgets and are passionate about building highly available and resilient systems.
• Go experience: You have experience developing with Go and love the language for its efficiency and concurrency. Ideally, you have experience with Kubernetes operators.
• Gamer mindset:You understand what gamers expect from a perfect platform.

Your benefits

• Gaming at Heart:We provide free Nitrado Game Servers for gamers and a welcoming community for anyone who wants to feel at home, even if you're not a gamer. Discover how Nitrado is more than just gaming - an open community for technology and creativity.
• Flexible working hours:Tailor your work hours to your personal needs for a better work‑life balance.
• Remote work: Our agile teams collaborate seamlessly from their preferred location, whether in our modern offices in Karlsruhe or Berlin or fully remote.
• Work from Abroad:Extend your workspace beyond national borders with our support for remote work from abroad, enabling you to work from your favorite international destinations while staying connected with your team.
• Mental Health:We support your mental well‑being with our annual Mental Health Day.
• Physical Health:Our office infrastructure provides state‑of‑the‑art workspaces with ergonomic design to enhance your health and productivity, while staying fit on your commute with yourJobRad.
• Professional Development:Utilize training opportunities to develop and stay current with your skills.
• Company Pension Plan:We support your financial security for the future with an attractive contribution.
• Working Environment:You'll experience a respectful and friendly workplace culture, characterized by transparency and a family‑like corporate culture.
• Vacation and Paid Time Off:Enjoy 30 days of vacation and additional paid leave for special occasions.
• International Collaboration:As an international company, we successfully overcome time zones and language barriers, providing you an international work atmosphere.
• Social Activities:Strengthen your commitment and team cohesion through team‑building events, participating in sports events and social activities.
• Long‑Term Stability:With over two decades of experience, we are a reliable employer for our employees.
• Get together:Work hard, play hard - We come together twice a year for our company celebrations, strengthening our team bonds.
• Corporate Culture & Values:You become part of a positive corporate culture that embraces values such as diversity and inclusion.
