Software Developer/Site Reliability Engineer (m/f/d) – Platform

Our Hetzner Cloud team consists of around 75 employees and works both remotely across Germany and from our office in Munich (Unterföhring).

The Platform Team sits at the very heart of our cloud infrastructure. We build and operate the systems that reliably and securely provision thousands of virtual servers in a matter of seconds, every single day. Our focus is on automation, scalability, and performance. We manage and monitor an ever-growing fleet of host systems, consistently relying on Infrastructure as Code, modern CI/CD pipelines, and robust monitoring and deployment solutions. We use modern technologies based on the principle of “the right tool for the job” – pragmatic, sustainable, and without unnecessary hype. As a team, we work in an agile way, share knowledge openly, and contribute our own ideas to continuously improve and evolve our infrastructure.

This position includes an on-call rotation to maintain our services, which can be performed remotely within Germany.
