DeepSkyBlue is a recruitment agency searching on behalf of our Timisoara Based Customer

Project Context:

Our client is a major telecommunications provider in Germany, operating large-scale digital platforms and infrastructure supporting millions of users. The environment is characterized by complex system landscapes, high availability requirements, and a strong focus on automation and scalability.

The DevOps team provides a central platform for all development teams and supports the setup and operation of automated CI/CD pipelines. A key responsibility lies in managing and evolving the OpenShift cluster, which currently forms the backbone for running microservices.

The client operates in a hybrid environment, with infrastructure partly on OpenShift and partly on AWS.

There is a long-term strategic goal to migrate towards AWS, but no fixed timeline has been defined.

The project will start in an OpenShift-based environment, therefore strong current-state skills are essential.

Experience with AWS and modern cloud-native tooling is a clear advantage, supporting the future transition.

Responsibilities:

• Setup, operation, and continuous improvement of CI/CD infrastructure across the system landscape (AWS, Web Applications, Microservices, Legacy systems)
• Ensure smooth and automated deployments across environments up to production (DevOps & Continuous Delivery principles)
• Operate and maintain container platforms (primarily OpenShift, Kubernetes)
• Close collaboration with development, system, and QA teams
• Implementation and promotion of DevOps best practices
• Support migration and evolution towards cloud-based (AWS) architecture

Required Skills:

• CI/CD & Automation
• Jenkins (pipeline creation, administration, troubleshooting)
• ArgoCD (deployment automation for Kubernetes)
• Ansible (playbook development and automation)
• Container & Platform
• Kubernetes (operation and support of containerized applications)
• OpenShift (cluster administration, developer support)
• Docker (container build, operation, troubleshooting)
• Monitoring & Observability
• Elastic Stack (ELK), Grafana, Kibana, Prometheus
• Dashboard creation, alerting, health checks, and monitoring configurations
• Code & Integration
• Version control systems (e.g., Bitbucket)
• Integration of repositories into CI/CD pipelines
• Systems & Infrastructure
• Linux systems (administration and troubleshooting)
• Networking basics and security awareness (firewalls, connectivity)
• Databases
• Basic knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle)
• Support for DB-related integrations in pipelines and applications
• Security & Supporting Tools
• Secrets Management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, OpenBao)
• Certificate management
• SonarQube (code quality integration)
• Traefik (basic configuration and usage)

Nice to have:

• These skills are not mandatory at project start, but highly valuable for the client’s future direction:
• AWS Cloud services (e.g., EKS, ECS, IAM, networking, storage)
• Cloud-native architecture patterns and microservices design
• Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Advanced Kubernetes in cloud environments (beyond OpenShift)
• Cloud monitoring & logging (e.g., CloudWatch, managed observability tools)
• DevSecOps practices in cloud environments
• Experience with hybrid or migration scenarios (on-prem/OpenShift → AWS)
• Professional Requirements
• Strong experience as a DevOps Engineer
• Solid understanding of modern software architectures
• Experience working in agile environments

Personal Skills:

• Independent and solution-oriented working style
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Willingness to continuously learn and adapt
