Our client in Brussels is looking for an experienced engineer to help maintain and further develop its internal platform and DevOps environment. You’ll work in a technically diverse landscape combining Linux, containerization, automation and software engineering, supporting both application and data-platform workloads.

Rather than relying solely on standard cloud services, the environment includes custom-built tooling and self-hosted infrastructure, making strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to understand complex systems essential.

What You’ll Do:

• Maintain, improve and further develop internal DevOps and platform tooling
• Work extensively with Linux and containerized environments using Docker and Docker Swarm
• Automate platform, deployment and operational processes using Bash, Golang and other scripting/programming languages
• Maintain and improve CI/CD workflows and supporting tooling
• Troubleshoot complex issues across applications, containers and infrastructure
• Work with technologies such as Keycloak, MinIO and Apache Spark within the broader platform environment
• Support secure deployments across connected and restricted environments
• Collaborate closely with software engineers and data teams to improve reliability, scalability and performance
• Contribute ideas and help shape technical solutions rather than simply maintaining existing processes

What You Bring:

• Strong hands-on experience in DevOps, platform engineering or infrastructure engineering
• Strong knowledge of Linux
• Solid hands-on experience with Docker and containerized environments
• Programming and scripting experience with Golang, Bash and/or Python
• Experience with CI/CD and automation tooling such as Git, Jenkins and Ansible
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to investigate issues across different layers of a technical environment
• Experience working with self-hosted, on-premise or non-cloud-native infrastructure
• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar technologies and custom-built systems
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Professional fluency in English

Bonus Experience:

• Experience with Docker Swarm
• Familiarity with Keycloak
• Experience with Apache Spark or data-platform environments
• Experience with object storage solutions such as MinIO
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling such as Kibana and Grafana
• Experience with air-gapped or otherwise restricted environments
• Knowledge of security-sensitive, government or defence environments

What's in it for you?

• Join an international and technically challenging environment
• Work across software engineering, DevOps and platform engineering rather than being limited to one domain
• Work with a broad technology stack and complex infrastructure
• Brand-new office with the possibility of hybrid remote work
• Opportunity to contribute ideas and influence how the platform evolves
• Open to both freelance consultants and payroll employees
• A long-term role with meaningful technical impact
