Join our VERBI Team as DevOps Engineer (m/f/x), SRE-focused!

We are VERBI Software GmbH, the family-owned company behind MAXQDA,
the number one software for qualitative and mixed methods data
analysis, founded in 2001. In addition to MAXQDA, we are continuously
advancing our cloud and AI technologies — including our new product, MAXQDA Tailwind.
Our mission is to provide researchers, universities, and organizations
with innovative and intuitive tools to help them achieve great things
with their projects.

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

Our
platform is AWS-centric (~90%), complemented by 1&1 hosting and a
small on-premise bare-metal setup. The role is hands-on, focused on
resolving infrastructure issues, applying SRE principles, and evolving
toward cloud-native best practices.

Tasks

Own and improve infrastructure across AWS, hosted, and on-prem environments,
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve stability, performance, and security issues,
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)

Nice to have:

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

You do not have to match our job profile 100%. What is more important is that you fit in
with us as a company, and that you have a desire to contribute your ideas and develop as a professional.
