Tasks

IONOS Cloud is a machine with many moving parts. Dozens of software components interact to deliver the services offered. We are setting up a new team to better manage and monitor this machine and improve the existing tooling and level of automation. We mainly rely on Kubernetes operators and cloud-native software such as ArgoCD, OpenBAO, Prometheus, etc. In-house developments are also common.

However, as with a spaceship or aeroplane, we don't just need mechanics with oil cans, but also a team of engineers who continuously improve the overall process, build new tools where necessary and provide the other teams with everything they need to do a good job. (such as customer support, product developers or the operations teams).

The underlying idea and goal is to end up with a self-healing "desired state" system that is controlled by GitOps and offers all products and components standardised processes and a reusable tool landscape.

Where necessary, we help other teams with this transition - including any containerisation, immutable infrastructure, idempotent interfaces, etc. In the Platform Flight Engineering team you will find software development, operations and infrastructure engineering. Our Flight Engineers will also regularly "fly along" in other teams in order to support their respective.
