DevOps Engineer (Gardener)

At T-Systems we believe that the next step in cloud will be an ecosystem of distributed workloads along edge locations and central datacenters for compute-intensive tasks.
Besides the distribution itself, data and technology sovereignty become more important for customers in the European union – that is how the GAIA-X initiative was born. To meet the requirement of more data and technology sovereignty, T-Systems decided to build an own cloud ecosystem based on Kubernetes that complies to the requirements of more distributed workloads, containerization and technology/data sovereignty.
While a group of engineers is working on the platform itself, we are looking for experts that help customers of T-Systems to use the platform by migrating, redesigning and containerizing applications and move them to the Sovereign Cloud platform in either T-Systems datacenters or on the customers premises.

Responsibilities:

• You help our customers with migrating workloads to our Kubernetes-based Sovereign Cloud Platform;
• Development of HELM-charts and CI/CD pipelines for applications of T-Systems customers;
• Configuration of applications and modification of existing configurations to ensure a high degree of scalability;
• Containerization of applications;
• Creating custom Kubernetes operators.
  

Requirements:

• Hands-on experience in at least one programming language like Java, Kotlin, Go or Python;
• Hands-on automation experience with at least one major hyperscaler cloud like Google Cloud, AWS or Azure;
• Knowledge of Terraform and HELM;
• Experience with CI/CD in a Kubernetes environment;
• Expert in automation with Git (GitHub, GitLab) and CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD;
• Knowledge of Kubernetes cluster creation with e.g Kubeadm beneficial;
• Knowledge of Prometheus and Grafana beneficial.

Would be your plus:

• Knowledge of Kubernetes cluster creation with e.g Kubeadm;
• Knowledge of Prometheus and Grafana.
