Title: DevOps / Platform Engineer — Scientific Computing Company: Constructor Labs Location: Constructor Labs / Germany
Location: Remote within Europe, with regular presence in Bremen Direct Reports: None Working Model: Remote / hybrid. Regular time on-site in Bremen.
Own 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Degree in computer science or engineering, or equivalent practical track record. Fluent English.
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.
A pure cloud or pure on-premise role. A ticket-driven operations role. A role without contact with the product.
