DevOps Engineer – Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure (m/f/d)
We catapult companies into the future. With an operating system for business processes that changes everything. AI-supported. Radically efficient. Unmistakable – just like the team behind it.
We are looking for you as a DevOps Engineer for our nolas workspace brand.
Not to follow along. But to lead the way. Because only 5 % of 100 % makes the difference – and that's where you come in.
This is where the usual “About us” text would go.
Let's skip that. Want to know what to expect?
What you're working on
A fully containerized AI platform. Multiple microservices. Real-time communication. Intelligent document analysis.
And everything runs on scalable, automated infrastructure – orchestrated via Kubernetes.
Your impact:
You are responsible for the entire DevOps environment – from infrastructure as code to monitoring.
You help shape how we automate workflows, secure services, and scale systems.
You work closely with backend, AI, and product teams – real ownership, no ticket shuffling.
