Our Hetzner Cloud team consists of around 80 employees and works both remotely across Germany and from our office in Munich (Unterföhring).

Object Storage is the newest addition to Hetzner's portfolio of storage products. Although it is a relatively new product, it is already an impressive storage system, consisting of multiple clusters with dozens of petabytes of capacity.

We use Ceph as the underlying storage system. To help us operate and scale our large Ceph setups, we're looking for an (Junior) Infrastructure Engineer (m/f/x) who is enthusiastic about Ceph and enjoys being part of its open source community, someone who likes engaging with the Ceph community, contributing back where possible, and who is ideally already active in the community themselves.

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

The annual salary for this position is between €68,000 and €86,500 gross. The exact salary level will be determined based on professional experience and the scope of responsibilities.
