About the role

• DevOps Engineer responsible for maintaining and enhancing AWS/EKS platform for energy transition products. Ensuring platform stability, security compliance, and streamlined deployment processes.

Responsibilities

• Platform operation & development (Terraform/OpenTofu): standardization and modularization, drift handling, secure defaults, cost guardrails
• EKS platform maintenance: cluster and add-on upgrades, secure configurations, capacity/performance management, runbooks and operational processes
• Deployments to EKS (Helm/Helmfile): environment-specific overlays, templates, release strategies (e.g. Rolling/Blue-Green where appropriate), secret handling
• Observability & alerting: SLI/SLO definition, dashboards, alerting (Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager or CloudWatch), reducing alarm fatigue, on-call hygiene
• ISO 27001 readiness: mapping controls to infra and organization, hardening, access reviews, backup/DR testing, change-management automation, auditable evidence

Requirements

• Experience in Cloud/Platform/DevOps (AWS) and a preference for “run & improve” ways of working
• Strong IaC practice (Terraform/OpenTofu) with well-structured standards and modules
• Confident in EKS/Kubernetes operations and deployments (Helm/Helmfile)
• Treat observability as an operational capability (SLOs, meaningful alerts, runbooks)
• Pragmatic approach to security and compliance (least privilege, reviews, auditability, backups/DR)
• Structured communicator who takes ownership and documents work
• Important: You do not have to meet every point “perfectly.” If you cover the core areas and are eager to grow, we welcome your application — including if you expect to develop further in some topics.
• Nice to have: GitLab CI/CD (or equivalent), Ansible, Policy-as-Code
• Nice to have: Experience with ISO 27001 (implementation, evidence, audits)

• Professional development (training, certifications as needed) and dedicated time for cleanup and improvements
• Team activities (e.g. group BBQs, shared lunchtime cooking, annual team day)
• Free coffee/hot drinks and fruit; cake provided regularly
• An environment where diverse perspectives are explicitly welcome — we especially encourage applications from women and underrepresented groups
