DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure Build) | €57k

Most DevOps roles maintain systems that already exist.

This one's different: you'll be building the infrastructure from scratch that powers large-scale simulation and AI-driven drug discovery.

We need a hands-on builder — someone who creates systems, not just configures them.

What you'll do

• Build containerised systems (Docker / Podman)
• Design multi-service environments (Docker Compose / Swarm)
• Build CI/CD pipelines end-to-end (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Create automation and tooling for engineering and R&D teams
• Work deep in Linux (systemd, networking, shell scripting, debugging)
• Support compute-heavy scientific and AI workloads
• Must-haves
• Proven experience building with Docker — not just running containers
• Experience designing CI/CD pipelines from the ground up
• Strong Linux fundamentals: shell scripting, networking, systemd
• Track record of building infrastructure independently
• Nice to have
• Python for automation
• Observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, alerting)
• HPC, AI, simulation, or research computing exposure
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Ansible or similar)
• Not the right fit if you:
• Mainly work within managed cloud/DevOps platforms
• Configure existing pipelines rather than build new ones
• Aren't comfortable troubleshooting at the Linux level
• Prefer ticket-based, maintenance-style work
• Why join
• This isn't maintenance work — it's a builder role at the intersection of infrastructure and science, where what you create directly enables drug discovery.
• If you love building systems properly from the ground up, you'll feel right at home.
