DevOps Engineer

Project overview

DevOps Engineer, IAM and Kubernetes

The Opportunity

IAM work can get narrow fast. You configure Keycloak, you manage AD, you handle OAuth flows - and then you're stuck doing the same things on repeat in an environment that never really changes.

This contract is different. You'll be working across IAM and container orchestration in one of Germany's largest federal IT environments - a complex, long-running programme where the infrastructure challenge is genuinely substantial. The project is secured for 3+ years. The initial contract runs up to 12 months within a framework agreement. Fully remote, within Germany.

The Role

You'll be working across the full DevOps stack, with IAM and Kubernetes at the core:

Workload is 3 to 5 days per week.

The Environment

This is a large-scale federal government IT programme - structured, security-sensitive, and built for the long term. A clean background check and SÜ2 security clearance are required, along with C1 German, EU/NATO residency for the past 5 years, and remote work from within Germany only.

If you've delivered in regulated or public sector environments before, the setup will feel familiar.

• Design, implementation and operation of IAM solutions in a complex enterprise environment
• Container orchestration and management using Kubernetes or OpenShift
• Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible
• Monitoring and observability via Prometheus, Grafana and ELK/OpenSearch
• Creating and maintaining technical documentation
