- MES system: Design and establish CI/CD workflows from scratch for a new web-based production platform
- Security & compliance: Define automated security workflows and systematically integrate CRA requirements into the development processes
- Stakeholder communication: Clearly communicate technical feasibility, manage expectations, and translate requirements into implementable solutions

- Several years of experience as a DevOps Engineer or in a similar technical environment
- Very good knowledge of Jenkins (pipelines, shared libraries, Groovy)
- Very good knowledge of Docker
- Experience with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket)
- Confident working with Git and modern CI/CD workflows
- Knowledge of scripting (e.g. Bash, Python)
- Experience with automated testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end tests)
- Experience in Linux administration as well as CI/CD and pipeline orchestration
- A clean and structured approach to work, resilience under pressure, initiative and strong execution skills, as well as clear, reliable, and proactive communication
What would be a plus in this role?
- Experience automating workflows
- Experience evaluating and implementing security requirements arising from the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
- Knowledge of Ansible and Kubernetes
- Experience with GitLab and/or migrating existing CI/CD systems to GitLab
- Experience in software companies or manufacturing companies whose products contain a significant software component
What do we offer:
- A vibrant community with open exchange, shared laughter – whether at table tennis, billiards, or over an espresso from our portafilter machine ;) – in our “Kulinarium” and epic company events (summer party, company outing, lunch lottery, Christmas party)
- An authentic first-name culture and short decision-making paths
- Individual onboarding for new TOPTICAns, supported by a personal mentor
- Tailored professional development – diverse learning opportunities for every need
- Support in all life situations: Employee Assistance Program for employees and their families
