(Junior) DevOps Engineer (m/f/d), Remote - Portugal

Do you enjoy building and automating infrastructure as much as writing code? Are you excited about bridging the gap between development and operations in a fast-paced product environment? Then this role is for you!

We are one of the largest consumer platforms in Germany, aggregating test reviews and customer ratings to help millions of users find the best products available. Our integrated price comparison guides users to the most affordable shops for their desired product.

As a (Junior) DevOps Engineer, you don't just keep systems running — you actively build, automate, and improve the infrastructure and tooling that powers our platform. This is a hands-on role that combines system operations with real software development.

Tasks

• Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Ansible, Docker, and cloud services (AWS), treating infrastructure like a software project — version-controlled, tested, and reviewable
• Develop internal tools and automation in Python or Bash to streamline deployments, monitoring, and data workflows
• Own CI/CD pipelines — set up, improve, and maintain continuous integration and deployment processes so our teams can ship with confidence
• Manage and optimize databases (MySQL) including backups, performance tuning, and query optimization
• Operate and improve our Linux-based server infrastructure, including our on-premise Proxmox environment and cloud resources
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure high availability and fast incident response (e.g. Grafana, NewRelic)
• Strengthen security and compliance — from firewall management and system hardening to access control and update policies
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Data Science, and Product to support data pipelines, internal tools, and deployment workflows

Requirements

• Solid fundamentals in Linux system administration (Debian/Ubuntu, shell scripting, systemd)
• Understanding of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls, VPNs, reverse proxies)
• Practical experience with at least some of: Ansible, Docker, Git, CI/CD tools
• Programming skills in Python or Bash — you're comfortable writing more than just one-off scripts
• Experience with or strong interest in MySQL (administration, queries, performance)
• A DevOps mindset: you think in automation, reproducibility, and continuous improvement
• Interest in modern infrastructure topics like containerization, infrastructure as code, and cloud-native architectures
• Bonus: experience with tools like Terraform, GitHub Actions, Vercel, Proxmox, or monitoring stacks
• You work independently, take ownership, and enjoy solving problems across the full stack
• Good spoken and written English; German is a plus but not required

Benefits

• A well-funded, profitable company in Germany with startup energy and competitive salary
• A real DevOps role — not a sysadmin job in disguise. You'll write code, build tools, and shape our infrastructure
• Entrepreneurial culture where ownership and initiative are encouraged
• Modern tech stack: Proxmox, AWS, Ansible, Docker, Python, MySQL, Next.js ecosystem
• Opportunity to grow into Senior DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles
• Flexible working environment based in Osnabrück
• Open to candidates in Portugal for remote collaboration

If you want to build infrastructure, write code, and work at the intersection of development and operations — apply now. We're looking forward to meeting you!
