About the opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the Continuous Deployment Team within our Platform Engineering Segment.
Platform Engineering's mission is to provide easy-to-use, self-service platforms that enable other segments to build, deploy, and monitor their business applications with minimal friction. As one of the first banks hosted entirely in the cloud, we hold ourselves to high standards of security, resilience, and productivity - and we use a modern technology stack to deliver on them for our development teams, the company, and our customers.
In this role, you will:
- Maintain, implement, and optimise the systems and applications that power CI/CD at N26
- Shape and influence N26's CD strategy, empowering development teams to deliver features faster
- Improve the security and compliance posture of our systems
- Implement security and compliance checks as a service within our CD pipeline offering
- Standardise our pipelines and raise the level of autonomy for our users
- Mentor other engineers and help improve our ways of working and engineering practices
- Take an active part in roadmap definition and prioritisation for our group
- Stay on top of incidents and production deployment issues, ensuring stable and predictable delivery
What you need to be successful:
Must have:
- Experience with at least one high-level programming language and its ecosystem. We use Python, Go, TypeScript, and Kotlin in our daily work.
- A good understanding of Linux, particularly networking, containerisation, and security. We operate in Unix-like environments every day.
- Experience with cloud service providers, ideally a hyperscaler such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. Our primary cloud provider is AWS.
- Experience planning, building, and supporting scalable CI/CD pipelines using trunk-based development or GitHub Flow and Actions. Outside of mobile release constraints, we aim to deliver every change to production in minutes, not days.
Nice to have:
- Experience working in strict security- and compliance-oriented environments. Every action and change we make must be secure, traceable, and compliant - first and foremost.
- Experience planning, building, and supporting scalable CD pipelines using trunk-based development or GitHub Flow. Outside of mobile release constraints, we aim to deliver every change to production in minutes, not days.
- A good understanding of integrated CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD. Our main pipeline driver is GitHub Actions.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform (OpenTofu), Ansible, or Salt. Almost all of our infrastructure is managed as code - no manual magic.
- Good knowledge of Kubernetes administration. Most of our workloads run on EKS, with a few exceptions.
What’s in it for you:
- Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors .
- Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
- As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
- Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
- A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, experiences, and backgrounds.
- A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
