Your Role

You will build and operate global Development Infrastructure services to support K+N development teams throughout the software development lifecycle, including source code management, CI/CD, artifact management, logging workloads, and APM. Supporting our vision of a modern, cloud-native DevOps platform using GitLab in AWS, you will align with the cloud transformation mission. Your role involves direct engagement with internal customers, developers, and various teams to optimize workflows through automation and well-designed systems. Additionally, you will ensure efficient utilization of cloud-based infrastructure and services while preventing silos or “knowledge islands.” Championing practices like Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps, you will integrate them seamlessly with the surrounding infrastructure and processes.

Your Responsibilities

• Taking part in managing non-production and production environments for services.
• Implementing observability pillars with centralized monitoring, logging and alerting.
• Automating tasks and processes as much as possible.
• Collaborating with infrastructure and product development teams to improve our products and processes.
• Ensure security and compliance across all stages of the software development lifecycle.
• Promoting DevOps culture and mindset.
  
  

Your Skills And Experiences

• You have either ample hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (optimally AWS) or some experience with hybrid infrastructures, i.e. connecting the cloud and the on-premise world securely and reliably.
• Strong background in Linux with hands-on experience with configuration management tools (Ansible preferred).
• Strong experience managing and using CI/CD tools (optimally GitLab).
• Proficient scripting skills in automating routine tasks (Python, Groovy or Bash preferred).
• Strong experience with container tooling and orchestration (Kubernetes or OpenShift)
• You have an attitude to build solutions that do not “reinvent the wheel” but can rather themselves serve as blueprints for tackling similar or even new challenges
