Expert DevOps Engineer (Observability & Platform) (f/m/d)

Your area of work: We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer with strong expertise in Kubernetes, observability, and cloud-native operations. In this role, you will design, implement, and scale enterprise-grade monitoring and logging solutions across modern distributed systems running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Beyond technical excellence, you will act as a trusted advisor and mentor, helping engineering teams adopt observability best practices, improve operational resilience, and leverage AI-driven solutions to enhance efficiency and reliability. You will play a key role in shaping our observability strategy and fostering a strong DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering culture across the organization. Your responsibilities: Design, implement, and maintain scalable monitoring and logging solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki. Manage, optimize, and support workloads running on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Build and continuously improve observability platforms that provide actionable insights into system performance and reliability. Ensure the availability, scalability, and resilience of monitoring and logging infrastructure. Implement and enhance CI/CD pipelines and automation processes for infrastructure and observability platforms. Apply Infrastructure as Code principles using tools such as Terraform and Helm. Integrate monitoring and observability practices throughout the software development lifecycle. Drive Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, including SLIs, SLOs, alerting strategies, and incident response processes. Act as a technical mentor and subject matter expert for engineering teams. Lead workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions, and best practice initiatives related to observability and platform engineering. Enable teams to adopt self-service observability capabilities and standardized monitoring approaches. Explore and implement AI-powered tools and agents to automate operational tasks, improve incident management, and optimize monitoring processes. Contribute to continuous innovation within DevOps and platform engineering practices. Your profile: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field. Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, or similar role in cloud-native environments. Strong hands-on experience with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Kubernetes ecosystem technologies. Deep expertise in Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki, including the design and operation of self-managed observability platforms. Solid understanding of Kubernetes architecture, networking, monitoring, logging, and alerting concepts. Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Helm. Knowledge of modern CI/CD platforms, including GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar technologies. Familiarity with cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Experience with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles and incident management processes. Strong communication, stakeholder management, and collaboration skills. Ability to mentor engineers and drive the adoption of DevOps and observability best practices. Experience building enterprise-scale observability solutions is highly desirable. Exposure to AI-powered operational tools, AIOps, or machine learning-driven automation is an advantage. Relevant Kubernetes and/or cloud certifications are considered a plus.
