# Senior Platform & Reliability Engineer (all genders)

Your creative field We are looking for a full-time, permanent Senior Platform & Reliability Engineer (all genders) to start as soon as possible. We live remote-first, but you have the freedom to choose whether you want to work hybrid or completely on-site due to your proximity to one of our locations (Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich).As a Senior Platform & Reliability Engineer at Contabo, you take architectural ownership of our shared infrastructure services - the foundation that multiple development teams build on: API gateway and ingress (Kong, Nginx Ingress), persistent storage (Ceph, Longhorn), secrets and identity infrastructure (Vault, Keycloak), edge security and WAF (Cloudflare), and our observability stack. You'll be taking over grown, partially under-documented systems - and that's exactly where the appeal of this role lies: you work your way deep into these systems, identify and remediate known weak points, evaluate aging components with solution-agnostic build-vs-buy reasoning, and decide which legacy pieces get fixed, replaced, or retired. One of your central mandates: you design and establish an on-call process, including runbooks for platform and infrastructure inci
