Job Description

Adfinis drives digitalization through open standards and technologies, shaping a world of innovative, sustainable, and resilient IT solutions built on reliable open source technology.



Our company is growing and we are looking for Junior, Professional, and Senior System Engineers to strengthen our Cloud Native team. This team, with a crew of 23, builds and operates highly resilient, containerized IT infrastructure for clients across all industries.



As a Junior, you contribute to customer projects and keep operations running: you take on helpdesk tasks, jump in on support requests, handle routine maintenance, and ensure systems run reliably under SLA. As a Professional, you lead smaller projects and build the kind of infrastructure that powers everything from startups to large enterprises. As a Senior, you steer complex, multi-month projects and design robust, resilient architectures.

But don't worry:

roles at our company aren't set in stone. At Adfinis, you work with your People Lead to shape a role that plays to your strengths and gives you the space to grow, wherever your path may lead.



We're big fans of automation and help our customers modernize their cloud environments. With Terraform and GitOps, we deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters. Our tech stack includes OpenShift, Vault, GitLab, Cilium, and more.

Benefits



What You Can Expect From Us



We're REALLY serious about Open Source. Keeping things transparent and accessible, supporting collaboration, and bigging up the community, it's not just what we do; it's who we are. Full-time or part-time, working on-site or logging in from your couch; the choice is yours. Thinking of taking unpaid leave? Hit us up in advance, and we'll probably sort it out. Pick Your Poison: Emacs, Nano, or Vim? Arch, Fedora, or TempleOS? Whatever tools or distro make you deliver that sweet, sweet system engineering performance, it's all up to you. No Microsoft products, tho. Being right in the sweet spot between a small tech shack and a big corporation, we keep it real with a down-to-earth attitude, solid business processes, and speedy decisions. We're all about that growth mindset. Whether it's leveling up your skills, nabbing some new certs, or geeking out at conferences, we've got your back.

Does that sound interesting to you?



Heinrich Vogt and Cesar Desales, our People Leads Cloud Native, will be happy to review your application.



We are looking forward to getting to know you!
