We are just at the beginning of our journey to becoming Europe's largest energy company. That's why we're looking for talented people to accompany us on this journey, leave their footprint and celebrate successes together with us. At Enpal, you will find a dynamic working environment as well as the space to develop yourself personally and professionally and to use your strengths effectively.

Job Description
As a DevOps Engineer, you will work at the heart and on the foundations of Enpal’s renewable solutions: you will be responsible for providing scalable, resilient, secure, and easy-to-use Cloud infrastructure and tools to development teams to help them develop and operate their building blocks of our intelligent energy management solution efficiently.
Your tasks and responsibilities will include:
- reviewing and constantly improving of our current Cloud infrastructure by keeping an eye on latest developments at major Cloud providers
- applying monitoring solutions and Cloud native application protection platforms for ensuring operation of our Cloud based platform at highest quality and security levels
- focusing on Developer Experience (DevEx) to make sure the Cloud platform we provide is easy to use by development teams so that they can focus on their core tasks and can rely on a solid foundation for the components they build
- building an industry leading Cloud native solution. Delivering and operating impactful solutions to our customers requires a best-in-class Cloud native runtime, operated at highest standards. Take your part in shaping that platform, continuously improve our current solution by contributing your skills, follow developments in the industry and apply new technology as appropriate to evolve our solution.
- improving developer happiness. Nobody wants to stay up until midnight to deploy new solutions, or run the same regression tests manually day in, day out. We're about improving stability, automating as much as we can including load tests and vulnerability scans.
- working on architecture & vision. We are fusing old and new technologies; cloud-native microservices, IoT applications, a Salesforce backbone, an event-driven architecture. This means we analyze new requirements critically to see which moving parts would have to change, explore opportunities to solve organization-spanning challenges with elegant architectural solutions.
- growing & learning. Do you know all there is to know about high availability and disaster recovery, based on global, multi-region deployments? We’d love to learn from your experience. Feel like you're behind on what’s going on the DevOps and DevSecOps market? We’ll make sure you grow through our knowledge.
- steering for empathy and understanding. Only when we comprehend what the market needs we can create solutions that truly address underlying challenges. Ask critical questions and listen to operations, craftspeople, sales - there are so many stakeholders and users to get input from, and balancing their needs leads to the best solutions.
