Senior System Engineer

Your mission

As a Senior System Engineer, you take technical responsibility for the reliability, security, and operational effectiveness of our Linux-based on-prem infrastructure. You make well-considered architecture and technology decisions, automate recurring tasks, and establish clearly documented, understandable processes that are actually used in day-to-day operations:

• You raise quality through reviews and pairing, design and document technical solutions, and ensure well-operable systems that efficiently support the company's development
• You work conceptually on technical solutions and collaboratively design viable architectures with the team
• You are the interface between technology, departments, and stakeholders and explain complex topics in an understandable way
• A significant part of your work involves handling compliance requirements (e.g., policies, guidelines, templates). You accept and ensure that compliance requirements are an integral part of the work – even if they are not always "sexy"
• You ensure that technical solutions are implemented in a compliant, traceable, and sustainable manner

Your profile

• You have several years of experience as a Senior Systems Engineer / Systems Administrator with a focus on Linux infrastructure
• You have already worked in medium to large companies and bring solid experience with established processes (pure startup experience is not sufficient for us)
• You are a conceptual thinker: You understand interrelations, abstract helpful concepts from tools, and help the team make sound technical decisions
• You document clearly, can coach others effectively, and work in a process-oriented way without relying on authority
• You confidently balance operations and project work based on solid project management fundamentals

Why us?

• The chance to make a decisive impact and shape the future of a dynamic, fast growing tech company while growing with your tasks and responsibilities
• Flexible and family-friendly working conditions in a stable environment
• With the wide range of sports and wellness offers from Wellpass, you can choose from over 9,000 sports and wellness offers
• An agile team that embodies autonomy and fast decision making within flat hierarchies
• A unique corporate culture where we emphasize equality, diversity and inclusion
• A wide range of education and training opportunities
• Fully remote work or high flexibility between mobile work and an office in one of the most beautiful, central district of Munich
• An attractive salary
• Regular onsite events of all sorts (Company Outings, Team events, Checkmk Conference, Conference After Party and more) in a familiar atmosphere
