Cloud Infrastructure Engineer In-house (m/f/d)

Overview

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our internal team at the Munich office. You will be working in an internal facing infrastructure team focusing on innovation and supporting builders at Netlight. You will design, build, and operate secure, resilient, and scalable infrastructure on Azure and AWS, and lead Kubernetes initiatives. You will automate wherever possible, improve our internal platforms, and collaborate closely across locations to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. Our Cloud Infrastructure team supports consultants by facilitating access to the latest AI-models to simplify operations, optimize performance, and free up time for what truly matters — delivering value to clients.

With your help, we aim to:

Bring one of our cloud environments Azure up to a professional standard.

Restructure our subscription setup and rework permission concepts to improve control and compliance across our tenant.

Build new systems to replace legacy components—and own what we build long term.

Your key responsibilities

• Design, implement, and operate cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure (networking, identity, security, compute, storage).
• Set up and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS), create and maintain Helm charts, and perform operational tasks like debugging applications running in the cluster.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and cloud CLIs; familiarity with CloudFormation and its limitations (e.g., in Landing Zone Accelerator contexts) is a plus.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines; GitLab CI experience is a plus.
• Improve observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and reliability using SRE practices.
• Drive security, compliance, and cost optimization across multi-cloud environments.
• Collaborate in cross-functional projects that enhance our tech environment and internal processes.

Qualifications

• Around 3 years of hands-on cloud operations experience (infrastructure-focused, not just application-level cloud exposure).
• Strong knowledge of Azure and/or AWS, with openness to work with—and learn—the other cloud.
• Practical Kubernetes experience, ideally including cluster setup/management, Helm charts, and debugging workloads.
• Proficiency with Terraform and cloud CLIs; CloudFormation experience is a plus.
• CI/CD exposure; GitLab CI is a plus.
• Fluent in English. Fluency in German and/or Swedish is a plus.
• A team player who is humble, open-minded, flexible, and takes initiative.
• Self-management, drive, and a high level of technical curiosity; you enjoy engaging with consultants around you.
• Openness to learn and grow is essential, complemented by sufficient practical experience to contribute from day one.
• Someone with the ability to set up technical solutions the right way, use sensible technology and do away with legacy systems.

Nice to have

• Certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect Associate or Azure Administrator Associate (or similar).
• Experience with landing zone patterns (e.g., AWS Landing Zone Accelerator) and enterprise permission models.
• Experience with security, compliance, or cost optimization in multi-cloud environments.

You will be part of a dynamic, supportive team of people with a high level of technical interest distributed in Munich and Stockholm.
