DevOps Engineer

Why This Job Is for You

You enjoy building the bridges that make development smoother, smarter, and more reliable – especially when it’s close to the hardware. You thrive in teams that create high-tech products, whether it's within electromobility, advanced control systems, or safety-critical systems. For you, DevOps isn’t just a buzzword – it's the toolbox that brings software and embedded systems to life efficiently, securely, and at scale.

Software & Cloud, one of our business units at Knightec Group, helps clients develop future-proof, large-scale computing and software systems across the entire IT landscape – from electronic devices and networks to data-driven enterprise applications powered by AI and cloud services.

Responsibilities

• Drive and support DevOps practices in embedded development projects – from lab setups and testing frameworks to deployment and traceability.
• Build and maintain toolchains, CI/CD pipelines, and automation solutions tailored for embedded systems.
• Collaborate closely with software and hardware developers to solve practical, real-world challenges.
• Create clarity and structure – whether in version control strategies, build environments, or documentation.
• Stay updated and introduce new technologies, methods, and tools that make a real difference in development speed and quality.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure development.
• Proven experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps) and version control systems.
• Experience in environments with compiled languages like C or C++ – ideally close to embedded or hardware.
• Understanding of embedded toolchains, real-time systems, or hardware-in-the-loop testing is a big plus.
• Experience with scripting and automation (e.g. Python, Bash, PowerShell).
• Interest in regulated and technology-heavy industries like Automotive, Industrial, or Defense.
• Curious, structured, and a natural collaborator who enjoys building solid foundations for others to create on.
