Who we are:
You want to ensure systems run reliably — and you enjoy finding weaknesses long before they become real problems?
Join us as a DevOps Engineer (m/f/d) on the Observability team at our locations in Falkenstein/Vogtland or Nuremberg! With cutting-edge tools like OpenSearch, Thanos, and OpenTelemetry, you’ll help us evolve our monitoring and logging infrastructure and support development teams in running complex systems with transparency and stability.
Your responsibilities:
- Be responsible for the design, implementation, and operation of our observability tools
- Manage and further develop distributed systems for logging, metrics, and tracing using OpenSearch, Thanos, and OpenTelemetry
- Ensure the scalability, performance, and high availability of our critical observability infrastructure
- Collaborate with developer teams to define and implement observability requirements across monitoring, logging, and tracing systems
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production environments
- Improve and maintain Kubernetes operators (including contributions to open source)
- Expand and optimize our internal tooling ecosystem
What impresses us:
- A degree in computer science, a comparable qualification, or relevant professional experience
- Strong expertise in DevOps methodologies and tools (e.g. CI/CD; containerization with Docker and Kubernetes; infrastructure as code with Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet)
- Knowledge in the field of observability — especially with OpenSearch (or Elasticsearch), Thanos, Jaeger, and OpenTelemetry
- Hands-on experience in administering and scaling OpenSearch clusters, including index management, sharding, and performance tuning
- Confident use of Prometheus and Thanos for cross-cluster metric collection and aggregation
- Solid understanding of OpenTelemetry and its use in standardizing traces, metrics, and logs
- Strong communication skills in both English and German, and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset
- Experience debugging and maintaining Thanos is a plus
