Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen
Direct Reports: None
Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen.
Mission
Own build, deployment and infrastructure for scientific software that runs in awkward places — customer premises, restricted laboratory networks, air-gapped sites, and our own cloud. The role combines conventional cloud platform engineering with the harder problem of shipping updatable software into environments we do not control.
Responsibilities
Pillar 1 Deployment and Delivery
- Own build, CI/CD and release for the platform across cloud and on-premise targets.
- Build and maintain installers and update paths that work in restricted and offline environments.
- Manage database migration and rollback paths for customer installations.
Success Metrics and KPIs: release frequency, failed deployments, time to patch a customer site.
Pillar 2 Infrastructure
- Run the Kubernetes and GitOps side of the platform.
- Own secrets management, access control and infrastructure-as-code.
- Implement monitoring and log aggregation across internal and customer environments.
- Integrate with Constructor's platform, identity and deployment tooling.
Success Metrics and KPIs: uptime, mean time to detect, infrastructure reproducible from code.
Pillar 3 Security and Governance
- Introduce static analysis and dependency and licence scanning into the pipeline.
- Own backup, recovery and continuity for the platform.
- Support audit and compliance requirements from funded research and customer contracts.
Accountability: no single undocumented dependency on one person, including yourself.
Requirements
Experience
- Strong AWS or equivalent, Kubernetes, and configuration management such as Ansible, at production scale.
- Real experience of on-premise and offline deployment, not only cloud.
- CI/CD pipeline ownership end to end
Skills & Competencies
- Autonomous and proactive. You have carried infrastructure alone.
- Willing to hand knowledge over rather than hold it.
- Interested in the product and the science, not only the pipeline.
- Clear communicator in English.
Education & Languages
- Degree in computer science or engineering, or equivalent practical track record.
- Fluent English.
