Introduction

Join our VERBI Team as SRE (m/f/x)!

We are VERBI Software GmbH , the family-owned company behind MAXQDA ,

with their projects.

We are looking for a SRE/ evOps Engineer / Platform Engineer (m/f/x) to take ownership of our infrastructure and drive reliability, scalability, and modernization .

Our

toward cloud-native best practices.

Tasks

Own and improve infrastructure across AWS, hosted, and on-prem environments,

Design and implement scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure architectures,
Apply SRE practices (SLIs/SLOs, incident management, automation etc.),
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code,
Improve observability (monitoring, logging, alerting) and operational excellence,
Collaborate closely with engineering teams and act as a technical mentor.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles

Strong hands-on experience with AWS and production systems

Solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, containers, and Linux

Deep knowledge of SRE principles and operating reliable distributed systems

Proven ability to modernize legacy infrastructure pragmatically and safely

Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, and Prometheus/Grafana

Understanding of cost optimization and security best practices

Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python or Go preferred)

Experience with hybrid or on-premise infrastructure,
Knowledge of compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.).

with us as a company, and that you have a desire to contribute your ideas and develop as a professional.
