DevOps Engineer AWS & Kubernetes, Junior/Intermediate (m/f/d), Remote, Full-time, from early September.

For our friendly team, we are looking for German-speaking DevOps Engineers (m/f/d) at Junior or Intermediate level who will support the operation and further development of a business-critical platform in the AWS Cloud within our client project.

New Monday is a digital agency from Berlin that works 100% remotely. Our clients include well-known corporations such as Atruvia, DAK, SAP, Lufthansa, and many more, as well as modern start-ups like NUMA Stays.

As an employer, we are characterized above all by flat hierarchies, our agile mindset, and a New Work approach. All our New Monday team members work 100% remotely (home office), but are still connected with each other thanks to our positive remote culture (learn more about it in the "Benefits" section).

About the project: The application is the central platform for planning and controlling the processes in the 10 plants of a large German mobility group. A DevOps team is currently being built, consisting of the existing operations specialists and central developers from the three development teams, to ensure long-term further development and operation. The application is currently running at SLA Bronze; from the end of the second quarter of 2027, SLA Gold should be possible, as dispatch will then go into operation. The requirements for availability and operational stability are therefore measurably increasing, and this is exactly what you will be working on.
