Mid-Level / Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (f/m/x)

Hi! We are verkstedt .

We're a distributed team of software developers passionate about delivering high-quality applications with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and robust solutions that don't bother us during a nice board game session on a Saturday night.

We specialize in digital healthcare and retail media - building products and services in German healthcare that make a real difference.

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our team.

You'll have the opportunity to shape and evolve our cloud setup, focusing on code, not bureaucracy. We value pragmatic solutions over dogma.

Tasks

As Cloud Infrastructure Engineer , you will design the systems that keep our applications running smoothly — and communicating effectively with the team is a big part of it.

Your tasks will involve a combination of the following:

• Managing our multi-cloud setup across GCP, AWS, and European providers — including managed Kubernetes services.
• Exploring and evaluating new tools and services to improve reliability and developer experience.
• Bringing fresh perspectives on tooling, automation, and architecture to the team.
• Working on greenfield projects in the healthcare sector.
• Contributing to open source projects , or collaborating with the team building fun projects during our Open Fridays (usually on a Wednesday) :)

Requirements

Our primary requirement is a genuine passion for building reliable, well-automated systems with clean code, and an eagerness to collaborate with the team.

Coupled with significant experience building cloud setups using Terraform and Kubernetes (or a similar stack), you're the kind of professional we're excited to invite for a coffee chat!

What we're looking for:

• Strong experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or similar)
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation
• Scripting skills for automation (Python , Bash , or similar)
• Understanding of monitoring and observability practices

We embrace AI tools to improve our workflows - and we're looking for someone who shares that mindset.

As someone who's been around the block, you should be a great communicator who finds pragmatic solutions for complex problems - and accepts that there are always multiple ways to achieve a goal. No one should be afraid of failures; as a team, we only try not to repeat them.

Fluency in English is crucial for our international team. And if you can sprinkle in some German, that's a delightful bonus we appreciate.

Benefits

• A competitive salary
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work (mainly from home, with one office day per week in Berlin or Cologne)
• Learning budget for conferences, courses, and books
• Choose the gear you like
• Relocation support if you're moving to Berlin or Cologne
• Minimal meetings - we take planning seriously and spend our time coding, not in meetings

Cloud infrastructure doesn't build itself, so we make sure to keep the office stocked with coffee, fruits, Club Mate & snacks . We hold regular team events — dinners, game nights, chess evenings, and board games at the office, plus seasonal whole-company events like go-kart racing and escape rooms.

If this sounds like you, get in touch! Simply fill in the application form below and we'll get back to you within a week.

We'll start with a quick chat via Zoom (or whatever works) to get to know each other and answer any questions you might have.

If we're all keen to continue, we'll invite you for a coding demo - a chance for a deeper conversation about infrastructure and your experience.

And that's basically all the application process there is.
