Shape the future of container security within a major digital transformation initiative.
We’re supporting a leading technology-driven organisation in building out its container-as-a-service platform based on Red Hat OpenShift and Advanced Cluster Security (ACS). This is a hands-on, highly autonomous technical role where you’ll be responsible for designing, configuring, and securing Kubernetes clusters used by hundreds of internal users.
You’ll join a small, collaborative team with a strong Linux and open-source background that’s modernising infrastructure and moving toward full containerisation.
Why Join
- Pivotal technical role in a strategic OpenShift/ACS rollout (approx. 40 containers).
- Freedom to design and implement cluster security architecture from the ground up.
- Close collaboration with Red Hat engineers and direct input into best practices.
- Dynamic, hands-on culture – a team that supports each other, even outside their core scope.
Your Impact
- Design and configure Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) within existing OpenShift environments.
- Define and implement security policies, governance, and risk frameworks.
- Evaluate and address vulnerabilities and risks proactively.
- Collaborate with Red Hat and internal teams to ensure continuous improvement.
- Act as a technical advisor and knowledge champion, enabling team upskilling.
- Support planning of VM-to-container migration and shape the future “container-as-a-service” offering.
What You Bring
- 3+ years’ experience with Kubernetes / container infrastructure (VMware, Proxmox, bare metal).
- Proven experience with Red Hat OpenShift and ACS (Advanced Cluster Security).
- Hands-on expertise in Kubernetes Security, policy management, and cluster hardening.
- Familiarity with Apache Ranger, OPA, or similar governance tools.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills – comfortable with technical and customer-facing interaction.
- Fluent in English, and German is a must.
Nice to Have
- Knowledge of Azure Security Architecture and container migration.
- Background in Linux engineering, DevSecOps, or cloud security.
What’s On Offer
- Competitive salary depending on experience.
- Fully remote set up possible
- Flat hierarchy and direct collaboration with decision-makers.
- Opportunity to develop into a Service Owner for container security.
