Cloud and DevOps Engineer

DATATRONiQ is a deep-tech startup for the Industrial IoT in Germany. Our platform offers a one-stop solution for manufacturing companies to monitor and optimize their machines and processes. Our device management and data acquisition technology generates high-quality data for our AI models deployed on the edge. We value collaboration, honest feedback, and continuous improvement. Sound interesting? We'd love to hear from you

As a Cloud and DevOps Engineer at DATATRONiQ, you will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge IoT platform that utilizes AI to analyze data from industrial processes. Our platform uses machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies and identify patterns that may indicate potential issues with equipment and continuously monitors the quality of parts. Our platform also provides IIoT device management and software connectors for data acquisition from a very broad range of manufacturing machines and control systems.

We are looking for skilled Cloud and DevOps Engineers to join our team. You will be responsible for running and maintaining multiple Kubernetes clusters, both on-prem and in the cloud. You should have experience working with Kubernetes, as well as a strong affinity for Linux and DevOps. Ideally you have strong networking and security knowledge, with actual experience in securing and hardening production infrastructure. You'll work with the team to build and improve our CI/CD pipelines for faster and more reliable jobs; we do mostly multiple lint and test, as well as build (single binary, containers), and deploy to review and staging.

At DATATRONiQ, you will be a key member of our DevOps team and start contributing from day one. We continuously improve our development processes and take pride in delivering high-quality work. To do so, we make a real effort to rank at the top of the Joel Test for engineering teams. We aim to create a healthy and productive engineering environment and encourage collaboration between remote and on-site team members. We do regular pair-programming sessions, and on Fridays we meet (online and offline) to finish the week with a mix of hackathons and show-and-tell.
