Shape the utilities market of the future with us!

Permanent / Full-time / Leipzig, Erfurt or Ilmenau (hybrid) – remote within Germany possible / Start ASAP

Cuculus is looking for a hands-on senior engineer to design, build, implement and manage secure, scalable and cost-effective cloud and infrastructure environments for customer projects across cloud, on-premises and hybrid platforms.

What is the role about?

Own customer environment delivery from approved architecture through cloud provisioning, Infrastructure as Code, OpenShift/Kubernetes implementation, migration, production readiness, optimization and handover. This is not a routine Production Support role; the engineer will assist with critical customer issues requiring specialist expertise.

Your Role at a Glance

Cloud infrastructure and services

  • Design, deploy and manage cloud infrastructure and services across AWS, Azure or equivalent platforms, including on-premises and hybrid integrations.
  • Configure networking, identity and access management, compute, storage, databases, load balancers, DNS, firewalls and customer connectivity.
  • Translate approved architecture into development, UAT, staging, production, High Availability and Disaster Recovery environments.

Infrastructure as Code, platforms and CI/CD

  • Implement version-controlled Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and develop secure, reusable modules for repeatable customer environment builds.
  • Deploy, configure and manage OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms, including networking, ingress, storage, certificates, RBAC, secrets and workload resources.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and cloud automation using approved tools such as Ansible, Helm, GitOps, Python and Bash/Shell.

Security, resilience, monitoring and cost

  • Apply cloud security, compliance and governance requirements across IAM/RBAC, encryption, secrets, network controls, operating systems and platform configuration.
  • Implement backup, High Availability and Disaster Recovery practices and validate recovery against defined RTO and RPO requirements where applicable.
  • Monitor performance, availability, security and cost; optimize scalability, resilience, capacity and cloud spending without compromising service requirements.

Migrations, delivery and technical escalation

  • Assess and support infrastructure and workload migrations, including dependencies, cutover planning, rollback, validation and post-migration stabilization.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, cloud-platform, CI/CD and deployment issues during implementation, testing, go-live and major technical escalations.
  • Complete production-readiness checks, acceptance evidence, knowledge transfer and formal handover; routine operational ownership remains with Production Support.

Standards, collaboration and responsible AI adoption

  • Develop cloud and infrastructure standards, architecture records, reusable modules, implementation guides, operational runbooks and support documentation.
  • Collaborate with developers, security teams, architects, DBAs, network specialists, project teams and customers to deliver complete working environments.
  • Use approved AI tools for IaC, pipeline development, automation, troubleshooting and documentation. Review, test and security-validate outputs and protect confidential data in line with company policy.

Must-haves (to thrive in this role)

Experience & education

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, infrastructure or system engineering.
  • Proven experience independently building and implementing customer or production environments end to end, including migration and production go-live activities.
  • A degree in computer science or a related field, or an equivalent qualification.

Cloud, platforms & infrastructure

  • Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure or an equivalent enterprise platform.
  • Experience with on-premises or hybrid infrastructure, not only public cloud.
  • Hands-on experience with OpenShift and/or production-grade Kubernetes, together with strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills.
  • Strong knowledge of networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, load balancing, DNS, firewalls, private connectivity and TLS.

Automation

  • Strong hands-on Terraform experience, including reusable modules, state management, version control and controlled infrastructure changes.
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines and automation using Ansible, Python, Bash/Shell or equivalent tools.

Operations & collaboration

  • Experience with cloud monitoring, security, compliance, backup, HA/DR, scalability and cost optimization.
  • Strong troubleshooting, customer-facing communication, documentation and cross-team collaboration skills, with responsible adoption of approved AI tools.

Location & language

  • You work from one of our offices in Leipzig, Erfurt or Ilmenau 3 days per week – or, if you live further away in Germany, you can come to one of our offices about once a month.
  • Our company language is English - good English skills are a must.

Nice-to-haves (great if you have them, but not a dealbreaker)

Platforms & tooling

  • Advanced OpenShift, EKS, AKS or comparable enterprise container-platform experience.
  • Helm, Kustomize, Argo CD, Flux, GitOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions.
  • Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor or comparable tooling.

Experience & certifications

  • Hybrid-cloud or multi-cloud landing zones, migrations, upgrades and modernisation.
  • Relevant cloud, Terraform, OpenShift or Kubernetes certifications and exposure to FinOps, enterprise security or regulated environments.
  • Utilities, energy, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), smart metering, HES or MDMS experience.

  • Working model: Hybrid in one of our offices or remote within Germany - depending on where you live.

  • Mobility: 50% subsidy for the Germany ticket and bike leasing.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
