This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) based in Germany.

The Site Reliability Engineer will help build and operate the reliability infrastructure behind a next-generation, high-performance cloud platform. Working alongside a highly technical team of systems, performance, and security engineers, you will take ownership of production environments, deployment pipelines, and observability systems. Your work will directly shape how the platform is deployed, monitored, secured, and maintained across customer environments and cloud infrastructure. You will automate operational processes, improve deployment quality, and help ensure reliable performance at scale. This is an opportunity to contribute to ambitious infrastructure engineering in a fast-moving, founder-led environment with a strong focus on innovation and technical excellence. The position is fully remote, with availability required within approximately two hours of Central European Time (CET).

Accountabilities

• Maintain and operate customer on-premises and cloud deployments, ensuring platform reliability and timely troubleshooting of technical issues
• Design, deploy, and support shared services used by the platform and internal teams
• Plan, package, test, validate, and roll out software updates across internal and customer environments
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to improve deployment quality and maintain high product reliability standards
• Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, and bare-metal servers across multiple regions and infrastructure providers
• Set up and maintain observability and monitoring systems to proactively identify, investigate, and resolve production issues
• Develop scripts, tools, and automation for deployment, infrastructure management, platform integration, and CI/CD workflows
• Contribute to continuous integration pipelines that detect regressions across software components and system integrations
• Build services and pipelines that automate operational processes and deliver infrastructure capabilities as services
• Define infrastructure resources, policies, and deployment pipelines as code
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation covering systems, processes, and operational tools
• Participate in the design, implementation, and tracking of security and compliance controls
• Support assessments and compliance initiatives related to standards and regulations such as SOC 2, GDPR, and FIPS

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience working in high-pressure production environments
• Proven experience in Linux system administration, software packaging, and software delivery
• Solid understanding of Linux networking fundamentals, including firewalls, DNS, proxies, and networking best practices
• Hands-on experience managing and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters in production
• Good understanding of the CNCF and cloud-native technology ecosystem
• Familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana
• Strong development skills in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript, alongside scripting experience with Bash
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure
• Interest or experience in infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Packer, or similar technologies
• Exposure to CI/CD platforms and workflows, such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI
• Familiarity with microservice architectures, serverless technologies, and DevOps practices
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineering teams while taking ownership of production systems and operational improvements
• Strong problem-solving skills and an automation-oriented mindset
• A deep understanding of large-scale systems design and architecture is an advantage
• Experience with security and compliance frameworks is a plus
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies such as QEMU/KVM is beneficial; experience with micro-virtual machine monitors such as Cloud Hypervisor or Firecracker is particularly valuable
• Must be able to work within approximately two hours of Central European Time (CET)

Benefits

• Fully remote working arrangement, with flexible working hours
• Competitive salary
• Six weeks of annual vacation
• Professional development and opportunities to expand technical expertise
• Direct collaboration with experienced founders and specialists in systems and cloud engineering
• Opportunity to work on innovative, high-performance cloud infrastructure with meaningful technical ownership
• A fast-moving, founder-led environment with minimal bureaucracy
• Team retreats, game nights, and other social events
• Collaboration with a highly specialized and technically driven international team
