(Senior) DevOps / Platform Engineer (m/f/d)
About us We at hasenkamp are a global project specialist for the transport and storage of particularly high-quality and sensitive goods. As a globally active and owner-operated logistics company with headquarters in Cologne-Frechen, we have been taking care of the specific planning and the safe handling of any logistical project for over 120 years with a lot of passion and attention for detail. Design your career with us! A work of art to bring the world is millimeter work – the infrastructure behind it is also. Our platforms run on a multi-cloud environment from Azure AKS and Hetzner Cloud, completely described as code and rolled out via GitOps. This part runs reliably and largely self-supporting – well enough that we now want to extend the same approach to the remaining, historically grown infrastructure, which has so far been outside our IaC. You will be part of our DevOps team within IT-OPS – one of the three areas of our business technology service team (BTS) next to DPM and Dev, which we are currently expanding to three fixed employees – and you will see how this platform looks technically: elaborately automated, comprehensible and so built that operation remains the exception and does not become permanent employment. .

Your tasks • Your profile • What we offer
The role is consciously wide – you work over the entire stack and have real design playroom: You continue to operate and develop our multi-cloud platform – Azure AKS and Hetzner Cloud (k3s) – and gradually consolidate our existing on-prem environment. You develop our infrastructure as code base with OpenTofu and Terragrunt and automate our VM and On-Prem landscape with Ansible. You are responsible for our entire delivery chain – from the GitLab-CI pipelines, container builds and quality gates to the GitOps rollout (ArgoCD, Kustomize, Helmet) via dev, test, acceptance and production – including the tooling landscape behind it (GitLab, Registry, Runner). You continue to build our monitoring and observability (Grafana, Prometheus/Thanos, Loki, Tempo). You are responsible for Secret, Certificate and Backup Management (External Secrets Operator with Azure KeyVault, cert-manager, Velero) as well as our security tools (Trivy, Falco, OAuth2 Proxy) and the identity connection via Entra ID. You enter our network across both clouds – firewalls (Azure, OPNsense), the site-to-site VPN between Azure and Hetzner as well as the ingress layer based on the Gateway API (Envoy Gateway). You drive automation and standardization ahead – so that recurring operating costs disappear instead of accumulating – and gradually bring our previously unmanaged legacy infrastructure to the same standards and to our IaC. AI is already part of our everyday life: changes run through automated AI-based reviews locally before reaching the remote. You continue to build such workflows and consciously shape our infrastructure AI-enhancing – to interfaces that agentic AI can safely work with our systems. You bring your experience into the strategic development of the platform – for example to the meaningful distribution of workloads between Azure, Hetzner and on-prem.
Technically: Multiannual experience with Kubernetes in productive operation, ideally across several clusters Found experience with Infrastructure as Code (OpenTofu/Terraform, Terragrunt) and configuration management with Ansible Practice with GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux, Kustomize/Helm) and CI/CD including container builds, ideally with GitLab CI Secure handling of at least one public cloud, interest in multi-cloud setups Solid Network and Security Basic Understanding – Firewalls, VPN/IPsec, DNS and Ingress as well as Secret Management and Identity/SSO Experience with an observability stack around Prometheus and Grafana Secure automation with Python (Bash of course, Go of advantage) Experience in consolidating grown environments and bringing them into a manageable, automated state Safe handling of agentic AI in everyday work and interest in making infrastructure conscious AI expandable Certifications such as CKA or Azure are a plus, but no need – we are more important practical experience No one brings all this – more important than every single point is depth in the core areas (Kubernetes, IaC, a public cloud) and the curiosity to unlock the rest. Personal: You love to work deep into systems, fix causes instead of symptoms and permanently automate problems You think strategically and keep track of growing systems You like to take responsibility and actively shape the technical direction of our platform You like to pass on your knowledge and promote others in the team You communicate safely in German and English (C1 levels), also with non-technical stakeholders
