Senior Software Architect & DevOps Engineer | Kubernetes & Microservices
Sector:
HealthTech / Medical Software
Location:
Hybrid (Bremen base – approx. 4 days/month on-site)
Salary:
€100,000
The Opportunity
I am partnering with a leading German HealthTech group dedicated to bringing "Transparency to Healthcare." With a team of around 100 specialists, they develop critical analysis tools and semantic software that make the statutory health system more efficient.
They are looking for a hybrid Architect/DevOps expert who enjoys the "best of both worlds"—designing high-level distributed systems while staying hands-on with a self-hosted Kubernetes infrastructure. This is a role for someone who values stability and meaningful work over "move fast and break things" startup culture.
The Tech & Challenge
Architecture:
Leading the evolution of a microservices landscape using
Scala, Java, and Python
.
Infrastructure:
Full ownership of service orchestration within a
self-hosted Kubernetes
environment.
Innovation:
Integrating
AI, LLMs, and Transformers
into existing Big Data analysis tools.
Communication:
Acting as the technical bridge between the development team and customer-side IT administrators.
Your Profile
Experience:
At least 5 years in Software Architecture or Senior DevOps, specifically focused on distributed systems and containerisation.
Toolkit:
Deep expertise in
Kubernetes
, REST APIs, and event-driven architecture (
Kafka/RabbitMQ
).
Environment:
Comfortable with self-hosted data centres (on-prem) rather than purely public cloud setups.
Languages:
Full professional fluency in
German and English (C1)
is essential for documentation and stakeholder management.
Flexibility:
You are based within a reasonable distance of Bremen or happy to travel for a 4-day "sprint" once a month (all expenses covered).
Why This Role?
Stability & Impact:
Work on regulated software that millions of people depend on for their healthcare data.
True Work-Life Balance:
A "family-first" culture with flexible hours and genuine part-time options.
Physical Connection:
While mostly remote, the monthly 4-day on-site stay in Bremen ensures you are a core part of the team culture, not just a face on a screen.
Holistic Benefits:
Includes EGYM Wellpass, JobRad, in-house massages, and proactive mental health support.
