DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

Why this role matters

At JOIN, we believe hiring should be easy, fast, and fair – for companies and candidates alike. That’s why we’re building intuitive, powerful recruiting software that helps businesses of all sizes find the right people effortlessly.

As our DevOps Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in strengthening the reliability, scalability, and security of our platform.

What you’ll be doing

Your expertise will directly impact how our platform performs, scales, and supports teams across JOIN. Here’s what that looks like:

• Build, maintain, and improve our cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure also valuable).
• Manage and scale Kubernetes clusters using best-in-class tooling like Docker, Terraform, Terramate, and Helm.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.) to ensure reliable and fast delivery.
• Implement and enhance monitoring and alerting systems with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager.
• Work closely with backend, product, and engineering teams to ensure smooth deployments and high platform reliability.
• Support database operations across SQL and NoSQL environments.
• Contribute to networking, system design, performance tuning, and incident response.
• Participate in on-call rotations to keep our infrastructure healthy and resilient.
• Automate wherever possible to reduce manual work and increase operational efficiency.
• Drive continuous improvement through post-incident analysis and reliability enhancements.

Who you’ll work with

You’ll collaborate with a highly skilled Platform team and partner closely with backend and product engineers across Europe. You’ll be supported by experienced DevOps leaders, and your work will enable teams across JOIN to ship faster, safer, and smarter.

What we’re looking for

We don’t believe in checklists – but if most of these apply, we’d love to talk:

✔ 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Cloud Engineering, or a related field.

✔ Strong cloud experience, ideally with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

✔ Deep knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration.

✔ Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Terramate, Helm).

✔ Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).

✔ Proficiency with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager.

✔ Solid understanding of networking, system design, and distributed systems.

✔ Strong troubleshooting skills, including experience with production incidents and on-call rotations.

✔ Clear and effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus points for:

• Experience in security, compliance, or ISO27001 environments
• Python, Go, or Bash scripting skills
• Experience with SQL or NoSQL databases
• Previous work in fast-scaling startups or distributed engineering teams
