Cloud Native Engineer

Your mission

As part of the Pexon Consulting group, we are building our new Tech Hub in Romania, where you’ll play a key role in developing modern, scalable backend systems and cloud-based solutions for clients across Europe.

Like all our engineers, Cloud Native Engineers must have a solid foundation in software engineering. We are not looking for pure administrators ("Click-Ops"), but engineers who treat infrastructure as code and embrace modern engineering practices. They understand how to abstract complex distributed systems and build scalable, secure platforms - tailored for both microservices and AI-ready workloads. Automation, reliability, security, and a continuous interest in emerging technologies like AI are core to their work.

Core Engineering skills:

• Software Lifecycle: Ability to manage CI/CD, testing, and deployment strategies from development to production.
• Architecture: Ability to design scalable systems, decompose microservices, and own API design.
• Programming & Logic: Mastery of core algorithms, data structures, scripting, and system design patterns.
• Problem-Solving: Ability to translate complex requirements into technical solutions and make pragmatic "build" vs. "buy" decisions.

Specialized skills (Cloud Native Engineer):

• Kubernetes and Container Orchestration: Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals (API server, Controller, Scheduler, Networking) and the ecosystem (Helm, CNI, CSI)
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: Ability to define infrastructure declaratively (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi) and establish GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux)
• Observability & Reliability (SRE): Design of monitoring, logging and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and understanding of reliability patterns (circuit breakers, retries)
• AI Workloads & Tooling (Plus): Passion for exploring AI concepts, such as deploying baseline RAG pipelines, vector storage, or LLM-backed services (e.g., via Python, LangChain, or LangGraph) onto cloud infrastructure

Your profile

• Minimum of 3-4 years of experience of hands-on experience in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, or Platform Engineering
• Solid understanding of major Cloud computing platforms (Azure is a strong advantage)
• Strong experience with modern CI/CD and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
• In-depth knowledge of container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)
• High interest in AI technologies, with practical exposure to Python and an eagerness to learn/work with modern AI frameworks (e.g., RAG architectures, LangChain, AI agent workflows).
• Strong communication skills in English (German is a plus but not required)

What we offer

• Flexibility: Work fully remote from anywhere in Romania or join us at our new Tech-Hub
• Attractive Compensation: Competitive salary plus an annual RON 12.000 training budget, performance-based bonuses, and a wide range of benefits.
• Modern Equipment: The latest hardware (including MacBook Pro) and modern software tools for efficient remote collaboration.
• Premium Health Insurance
• Additional benefits: To be defined jointly as we grow the team

Location

This role is remote-first. You can work from home anywhere in Romania or make use of our new Tech Hub in Romania. Our German offices in Berlin and Munich are also available for occasional visits. Most client work is done remotely.
