About the role
Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen
Direct Reports: None
Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen.
Mission
Own build, deployment and infrastructure for scientific software that runs in awkward places — customer premises, restricted laboratory networks, air-gapped sites, and our own cloud. The role combines conventional cloud platform engineering with the harder problem of shipping updatable software into environments we do not control.
Responsibilities
Pillar 1 Deployment and Delivery • Own build, CI/CD and release for the platform across cloud and on-premise targets. • Build and maintain installers and update paths that work in restricted and offline environments. • Manage database migration and rollback paths for customer installations.
Success Metrics and KPIs: release frequency, failed deployments, time to patch a customer site.
Pillar 2 Infrastructure • Run the Kubernetes and GitOps side of the platform. • Own secrets management, access control and infrastructure-as-code. • Implement monitoring and log aggregation across internal and customer environments. • Integrate with Constructor's platform, identity and deployment tooling.
Success Metrics and KPIs: uptime, mean time to detect, infrastructure reproducible from code.
Pillar 3 Security and Governance • Introduce static analysis and dependency and licence scanning into the pipeline. • Own backup, recovery and continuity for the platform. • Support audit and compliance requirements from funded research and customer contracts.
Accountability: no single undocumented dependency on one person, including yourself.
Requirements
Experience • Strong AWS or equivalent, Kubernetes, and configuration management such as Ansible, at production scale. • Real experience of on-premise and offline deployment, not only cloud. • CI/CD pipeline ownership end to end
Skills & Competencies • Autonomous and proactive. You have carried infrastructure alone. • Willing to hand knowledge over rather than hold it. • Interested in the product and the science, not only the pipeline. • Clear communicator in English.
Education & Languages • Degree in computer science or engineering, or equivalent practical track record. • Fluent English.
What This Role Is (and Is Not)
This role IS • Full ownership of infrastructure for a technically unusual product. • A role where you finally get a team around you. • Exposure to a broad modern stack.
This role is NOT • A pure cloud or pure on-premise role. • A ticket-driven operations role. • A role without contact with the product.
