About The Company

GROPYUS is a technology-based construction company focused on building multi-story residential buildings. Thanks to its prefabricated building system with various design options, industrial offsite construction, and fully digitalized processes, the company manufactures aspirational, sustainable, and affordable homes using timber construction methods. GROPYUS is using scalable construction and manufacturing solutions to tap into a future market, boost Europe's strength in innovation, while also playing a substantial role in improving sustainability.

About the Role:

You will join the new Tech Infrastructure team at GROPYUS - the foundation that enables all our technical teams to deliver, from cloud environments to production facilities to construction sites.

You'll handle everything from physical hardware planning and deployment to day-to-day server operations, ensuring our systems are secure, reliable, and well-maintained.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the full lifecycle of server infrastructure - from racking hardware at a site to configuring systems and keeping them running smoothly. You'll work closely with the rest of the Tech Infrastructure team to build standardized, automated approaches that scale across all our locations.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing Linux and Windows server infrastructure across cloud and on-premises environments
• Planning and executing physical server deployments: hardware selection, rack planning, and installation at multiple sites
• Managing Kubernetes lifecycle, including upgrades, security hardening, and multi-cluster or hybrid setups (cloud and on-prem)
• Implementing observability for Kubernetes workloads (logging, monitoring, alerting) to ensure platform reliability and performance
• Maintaining system security, patch management, and access control
• Implementing backup strategies and ensuring high availability for critical systems
• Building automation through configuration management tools to reduce manual operations
• Monitoring system health and performance, troubleshooting issues as they arise
• Documenting system configurations and maintaining operational runbooks

What you bring:

• You're an experienced Platform Engineer with strong skills in both Linux and Windows server environments
• You have hands-on experience with physical infrastructure - you're comfortable planning and deploying server hardware at sites
• You've worked with configuration management tools (Puppet, Ansible, or similar) and believe in infrastructure as code
• You understand system security: hardening, patch management, and access control
• You have experience with backup solutions and high availability setups
• You're familiar with virtualization technologies (Hyper-V, VMware, or similar)
• You bring a service-oriented mindset: you think about reliability, documentation, and making systems easy for others to use
• Experience with PostgreSQL administration is a plus
• You're based in Germany and open to occasional travel to our sites for deployments and support
