We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed. What you`ll do We are looking for a Backend & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer Expert (f/m/d) who brings deep backend development skills together with hands-on Infrastructure-as-Code expertise. You will own microservices end-to-end — from writing production-grade code to provisioning and operating the cloud platform that runs them. Your mission: make every deployment predictable, every environment reproducible, and every service production-ready. You operate at the intersection of software engineering and cloud platform operations. On any given day you might be building a new microservice, tuning a Helm chart's rollout strategy, refactoring a Terraform module, or hardening a CI/CD pipeline. You are the person who ensures that what works locally works identically across all environments — from dev through production. - Design and build microservices and REST APIs - Write robust automated tests — unit, service-layer, and API-level - Integrate with relational databases, optimizing queries and managing persistence layers. - Participate in code reviews and uphold established coding guidelines. - Own and evolve Terraform modules for the full platform topology: Kubernetes clusters, networking (VPC, NAT, DNS), managed databases, message brokers, CI/CD infrastructure, and cloud-provider services. - Manage multi-environment deployments (dev, test, staging, production) with proper state management, secret handling, and drift detection. - Maintain and extend Helm charts — service deployments, autoscalers (HPA), network policies, ingress/gateway routing, TLS certificates, PodDisruptionBudgets, and service accounts. - Operate Kubernetes clusters — service mesh, certificate management, message queue operators, resource sizing, and zero-downtime rolling updates. - Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines - Implement and enforce security practices - Automate cloud operations — environment provisioning, role/permission assignment, tenant onboarding, and landscape cloning via scripts. What you bring - 5+ years combining backend development and infrastructure/DevOps engineering. - Strong proficiency in a modern Java/Spring Boot, transactional semantics, REST API design, automated testing. - Production Terraform experience (3+ years) — modular architecture, remote state, per-environment configurations, plan/apply workflows, state migrations. - Kubernetes — deployments, services, HPA, PDB, network policies, RBAC, service mesh concepts, cert-manager. - Major cloud platform (GCP, AWS, or Azure) — managed Kubernetes, networking, IAM, container registries, DNS. - CI/CD pipeline engineering — Jenkins, GitHub Actions; Docker image builds; automated quality gates. - Secrets management — SOPS, Vault, Sealed Secrets, or similar encryption-at-rest tooling. - Networking fundamentals — DNS, TLS/mTLS, ingress routing, network policy design. What we consider beneficial: - Experience with SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry - HANA or other SQL DB - RabbitMQ / Kafka — operator-based deployment on Kubernetes, messaging reliability. - Istio or similar service mesh — traffic management, observability, mTLS policies. - Gradle — multi-module build configuration at monorepo scale. - Monitoring & observability — Prometheus, Grafana, cloud-native monitoring, structured logging, alerting. - GitOps practices — declarative infrastructure, drift reconciliation, PR-based deployment workflows. - Cost optimization — resource right-sizing, autoscaling strategies, committed-use planning. - Compliance & security hardening — private endpoints, image scanning, supply-chain security tooling.
