About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Take ownership of the reliability, capacity and cost efficiency of DeepL's compute infrastructure.
  • Shape the platform's architecture: bring strong technical positions, weigh them on their merits with your peers.
  • Design, build and operate production-grade Kubernetes clusters across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
  • Drive the technical work of deepening the hybrid model - unifying how workloads run across on-prem hardware and cloud.
  • Define infrastructure-as-code and platform standards that hold across the track.
  • Mentor engineers across the infrastructure track and raise the technical bar of the group.
  • Build consensus across engineering teams and turn it into shipped change.
  • Lead incident response for hybrid infrastructure, driving remediation through to root cause.

Requirements

What you’ll need

  • Infrastructure as code with Terraform or equivalent, and GitOps delivery with tooling such as ArgoCD.
  • Software engineering skills in at least one major language, Go or Python preferred.
  • A track record of technical ownership spanning several teams.
  • Strong incident-management and reliability-engineering discipline, and the ownership mindset to build more resilient systems.
