Owns build, deployment, infrastructure, and release processes for scientific software across cloud, on-premise, restricted, and air-gapped environments. Responsibilities include Kubernetes and GitOps operations, CI/CD, offline installers and updates, database migrations, secrets and access management, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, security scanning, backups, recovery, and compliance support. The role requires production-scale AWS or equivalent experience, Kubernetes, Ansible, offline deployment expertise, and end-to-end pipeline ownership.
Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen
Direct Reports: None
Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen.
MissionOwn 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.
ResponsibilitiesPillar 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.
RequirementsExperience
- 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.
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.
