Working Student Site Reliability Engineer (On Site / Hamburg)

At Kubermatic, we are passionate about the potential of container and cloud native technologies. We believe that businesses should focus on their core purpose: writing groundbreaking applications, not operations. Most IT developers do not care a lot about IT infrastructure. They want their environments to be up and running without waiting for their tickets. This is exactly what we offer with our Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform. It’s an intuitive Kubernetes self-service portal enabling IT teams to easily build & deploy services everywhere.

Since we launched in 2016, our journey has been an exciting one and we just kick-started our route to the next level and now double down on our team. To get there, we are looking for colleagues who bring in new ideas and want to get things done. If you are looking for a neatly structured environment, we are just not a good match. But if you are thrilled by the prospect of joining a technology start-up with a lot of room for your own ideas and personal growth, we should get to know each other.
