Site Reliability Engineer (m/f/d)

At our company, it’s all about #OneTeam! Join gridscale and help shape the future of the cloud together with OVH.

As a leading tech company, we’ve been working for over two decades to reduce our environmental footprint — with innovative solutions and an open cloud designed to be sustainable from the ground up: #SustainableByDesign.

As Platform team, we operate the central API infrastructure for our edge locations and provide the developer tools that our teams need. Are you passionate about multi-site cloud environments and edge technologies? Then you've come to the right place.

Our Tech Stack

•Kubernetes •GitOps •Ansible •Terraform •Prometheus

•FluxCD•Grafana •Linux •OpenStack•Baremetal

Your Role

As a Senior Platform Engineer / SRE, you'll be part of a team responsible for our central API stack at the edge locations. You'll work on the conception, automation, and operation of our platform and drive continuous improvements. We're looking for someone who is comfortable in a security-oriented environment with a high degree of automation (GitOps). While there is a certain focus on Observability, as a Senior, you're able to actively shape the focus of your role based on your strengths and interests. You are used to maintaining an overview in ambiguous situations, analyzing systems, and making well-founded decisions based on this analysis.

Your Tasks

• Develop and maintain our Infrastructure as Code using tools like Ansible and Terraform.

• Drive the ongoing development of our Kubernetes stack and implement GitOps workflows (e.g., with FluxCD)

• Develop and operate Observability solutions (monitoring, logging, tracing) and serve as a go-to person and mentor for other teams

• Actively participate in system analysis and derive improvements, even when initial requirements are unclear

• Participate in an on-call rotation.
