The company develops both hardware (such as proprietary trackers, sensors, and cameras) and software platforms that enable companies worldwide to monitor, manage, and secure their machinery. Its core business involves capturing data from industrial machines via self-developed hardware and visualizing it on a user-friendly, centralized platform.

GemOne's trackers are integrated directly into machines and communicate constantly with the cloud application. These trackers provide not only real-time information such as location, usage hours, or maintenance status but can also actively intervene—for example, by immobilizing a machine if a mandatory safety checklist has not been completed. In this way, GemOne supports companies in optimizing their fleet management, increasing workplace safety, and making data-driven decisions.

With thousands of active customers in Europe, the US, and beyond, and tens of thousands of devices connected to its systems, GemOne positions itself as a crucial player in the digitalization of industrial operations worldwide.

Role

As a DevOps Engineer, you form the essential bridge between the product team's ambitions and the technical stability of the global platform. You provide the fundamental architecture upon which software developers build by standardizing processes and anchoring Infrastructure as Code (IaC). You ensure that innovations can be brought to market faster, more securely, and at a larger scale.

This role is crucial to GemOne's international growth strategy. In an environment that is constantly evolving and expanding, you ensure scalability and reliability. By facilitating a "self-service" culture where development teams can operate independently but within secure frameworks, you act as an enabler that increases the overall effectiveness of the IT organization. You are not only the guardian of continuity via robust disaster recovery plans but also the driving force behind the technological modernization that allows GemOne to remain a global market leader in telematics.
