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.

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'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
