About the job

As a DevOps Engineer within our organization, you combine development expertise with a deep understanding of infrastructure, automation, and cloud architectures. You contribute to building robust applications, ensure a smoothly running CI/CD pipeline, monitor performance and availability, and tackle complex incident analysis and smart monitoring setups with confidence.

The day starts with a stand-up meeting where the squad reviews what was accomplished the previous day, outlines the plans for today, and identifies any current or anticipated impediments. After the stand-up, you’ll focus on deploying or enhancing tooling and providing support to engineers.

You continuously strive to improve collaboration—both within your own squad and across other squads. Working in two-week sprints and following Scrum principles, you deliver new tooling—primarily based on Linux and container images—to Software Engineers, while also helping them optimize and/or automate their use.

Within these activities you’ll be responsible for:

• Collaborate in an agile DevOps team on complex, production-grade applications—taking full ownership from development to support.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automating everything you encounter.
• Manage container platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker, using tools like Helm and Terraform.
• Set up monitoring and alerting systems with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK.
• Investigate incidents, perform root cause analyses, and implement structural solutions.
• Contribute to security, privacy, and networking within modern software architectures.
• Actively share your knowledge with the team and continuously develop yourself—both technically and personally.

• You also have experience with Docker/Podman and Kubernetes for running software in containers.
• You’re familiar with modern solutions, have ideas about their application, and can convince developers to implement them.
• Additionally, you have several years of experience with Java or C++, combined with Maven.
• You are proactive and creative, open and flexible, and you can operate as a team player.
• You are results-oriented, show initiative, and communicate clearly.
• A good command of both Dutch and English is essential for this role.
