Platform Engineer (all genders)
Your creative field
We are looking for a Platform Engineer (all genders) to start as soon as possible in a full-time, permanent position. We embrace a remote-first approach, but you can choose whether you’d like to work in a hybrid model or entirely on-site, depending on your proximity to one of our locations.
What convinces us
The availability and performance of our platform are of the utmost importance to our customers’ satisfaction. These systems form the foundation of Contabo’s most important products, which is why the smooth operation of the environment has a direct and immediate impact on the company’s success.
To keep our systems running and our customers satisfied, you’ll take responsibility for the operation and further development of our hosting platform—from Proxmox/KVM virtualization to storage (ZFS, Ceph) and networking, all the way through to monitoring and observability. You’ll serve as the technical escalation point for our Platform Support team, analyze complex issues to their root cause, and ensure that problems do not recur. You’ll use Ansible and Git for automation, plan and oversee maintenance, upgrades, and migrations, and contribute to capacity and hardware planning—for example, when introducing new hardware generations or setting up new locations. You’ll be responsible for your own domain of the platform, make well-informed design decisions, and document them in a transparent manner. You’ll actively share your knowledge with the team. In doing so, you’ll work closely with Platform, Support, Dev, Network, and Security to solve problems together and drive improvements. Since our teams and data centers are spread across the globe, part of your work will also be conducted in English.Awesome Prospects
Your personality, combined with:
- training as an IT specialist in system integration, a degree in computer science, or a comparable qualification and experience
- several years of professional experience (at least 5 years) in the operation or development of large-scale Linux and virtualization environments
- solid hands-on experience with Linux (troubleshooting, performance), Proxmox/KVM or comparable virtualization technologies, Ansible, and monitoring solutions (e.g., Zabbix, Prometheus/Grafana)
- Ideally, experience with ZFS and/or Ceph, networking fundamentals (BGP, L3 routing, VLAN, Open vSwitch), Git/CI, and scripting in Bash or Python
- Self-motivation and a proactive approach: You contribute ideas, document decisions clearly, and enjoy sharing your knowledge with others
- A plus: Terraform, Kubernetes, Vault, PowerDNS, or experience in a hosting/cloud environment
- Enjoy working with other teams and working independently
- Very good German and English skills
