DevOps Engineer

About The Company

TÜV NORD Service GmbH & Co. KG supports the operation and development of technology that helps keep essential business services reliable and available. In this role, you will contribute to the cloud platform behind a central IT system used for damage assessments and vehicle valuations. You will join an engaged team with flat hierarchies, working together to maintain secure, stable, and high-performing services while continuously improving the infrastructure and processes that support them.

About The Role

As an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Platform Engineer, you will help operate and evolve a cloud-native platform based on Microsoft Azure. Your work will combine platform operations, incident support, automation, observability, and deployment coordination. You will contribute to the reliability and security of business-critical services, collaborating with colleagues to resolve issues and improve the platform over time.

This position is suited to a technology professional who enjoys practical cloud engineering and continuous improvement. You will work with Kubernetes and modern DevOps practices, help maintain shared platform components, and contribute to Infrastructure as Code and GitOps workflows. You will also support disaster-recovery planning and testing, helping the team prepare for service interruptions and safeguard system availability.

Qualifications

• A degree in computer science or a completed vocational qualification in IT, computer science, or a related field.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes, container platforms, and cloud infrastructure.
• Good knowledge of Git, CI/CD, GitOps, and modern DevOps processes.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code; knowledge of Terraform and Terragrunt is an advantage.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Azure or a comparable cloud platform.
• Experience with one or more scripting or programming languages, such as PowerShell, Bash, Python, or Go.
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability solutions, ideally including Grafana, Prometheus, or Azure Log Analytics.
• An understanding of DevOps, DevSecOps, and automation principles.
• A structured and independent approach to work, together with strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

You do not need to know every tool from day one. A willingness to learn, share knowledge, and take responsibility for reliable services will help you succeed in the role.

Responsibilities

• Support the operation and continuous development of the Azure Kubernetes Service platform, particularly the environment supporting the central system for damage assessments and vehicle valuations.
• Assist with incident management and help maintain platform stability, performance, and security.
• Maintain and improve monitoring, logging, and observability solutions, including Grafana, Prometheus, and Azure Log Analytics.
• Help operate and develop core platform components such as ArgoCD, Keycloak, NATS, and SonarQube.
• Support GitOps implementation and contribute to the operation and optimization of CI/CD pipelines.
• Coordinate deployments and release activities to help ensure they run smoothly.
• Develop cloud infrastructure using Terraform, Terragrunt, and Azure services.
• Help plan, carry out, and document disaster-recovery processes and technical tests that support system availability.
