Hi! We are verkstedt. 👋

We are a team of software developers, located in the heart of Berlin and in Cologne.

We are passionate about delivering high quality web 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.

Currently we are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. To us this is a very special and quite crucial role. It includes coding as well as building and running infrastructure – and communication, which is also an important part of it.

Join us and become part of a seasoned team of skilled engineers!

We offer you the opportunity to shape and evolve large-scale software projects, work flexibly and focus on code, not bureaucracy.

Tasks

Setting up and maintaining our cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with Terraform, Kubernetes, Cloud Run
Exploring and evaluating new tools and services
Supporting the team with infrastructure and ideas on how to run things in a pragmatic yet robust way.
Contributing to open source projects.
Working on greenfield projects.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, get in touch! – We look forward to meeting you.

Requirements

Basically there is only one major requirement we have: you should simply enjoy building great applications and infrastrcture, writing robust and clean code!

If you can combine this with some significant experience with building Cloud Setups using Terraform and Kubernetes on GCP (or a similar stack that allows you to build great web applications) we’re very interested to meet for a coffee! 😊

Apart from that, since we’re a small team and we strongly believe that software development is a team sport and it is important for you to be self organised and not afraid of interacting with other human beings.

This also includes a strong ability to find pragmatic solutions for complex problems and being able to accept that there are always multiple ways to achieve a given goal.

For us this also includes, that no one should be afraid of failures. As a team we only should try not to repeat them.

You should also be able to speak English fluently (and from time to time it can come in handy to speak a few words in German).

Benefits

a competitive salary,
flexible working hours,
homeoffice,
time for working on Open Source projects during our regular Open Fridays and
you can choose the gear you like.

Coding means hard work, so we always make sure to have enough coffee, fruits, Club Mate & snacks in the office and at our place you will also find:

regular Board Game evenings for those interested,
Team events and offsites.

Great! Simply fill in the application form below and we will get in touch within a week.

What we then usually do is to start with a quick chat via Google Meet (or whatever channel works) to get to know each other and for you to ask any question that might come to mind.

If we all agree to proceed we would invite you for a coding challenge or a pairing session, which allows us to have a second more indepth discussion with you about your work. – And you also get to know us a bit more.

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