• Deploying, operating and troubleshooting VNF workloads on Kubernetes, including cluster operations, upgrades, monitoring and debugging network issues in production.
• Cooperating with other teams to ensure the smooth integration of new Virtual Network Functions with different IONOS products.

Qualification

• Proficiency in Golang and/or C/C++, including AI-assisted development.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes architecture and operations; knowledge aligned with CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) principles.
• Knowledge of the TCP/IP protocol family and networking technologies such as Open vSwitch, OpenFlow, VXLAN, VRF and eBPF.
• Experience with cloud environments and virtualization technologies like QEMU/KVM.
• Experience with the GNU toolchain (gcc, gdb, make, etc.), git and the Linux CLI.
• Experience with Linux system administration and automation.
• Nice to have: Linux kernel networking internals, VPP and DPDK.

• At some locations a subsidized canteen and various free drinks.

• Various employee discounts for activities and products.
