be responsible for managing and optimizing our container platform, both within our on-premises
environment and in the AWS cloud. You have experience with:
Container orchestration
Infrastructure as Code (IAC)
Cloud technology
You will contribute to making the infrastructure platforms autonomous. This means that customers
can create container platforms via self-service. The container platforms are made available to the
internal users of CM-MC. You have contact with container users (developers and business) to meet
their needs, including continuous delivery, continuous deployment, and infrastructure as code. You
are willing to work in a 24/7 on-call system (1 week every 6 weeks).

Availability and disaster recovery
Proactive follow-up is done through monitoring, change management, capacity management,
lifecycle management, and service level management. You participate in project work. Projects can
be both business-oriented (deployment of applications to pre-production and production
environments) and technically oriented (technical upgrades, new technologies, ...). Main Tasks:
Manage and maintain the OpenShift/EKS cluster, with a focus on high availability and
scalability
Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IAC) using Ansible, Terraform, and Helm
Charts
Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Groovy scripts for Automated
Deployment
Monitor Kubernetes clusters (including maintenance, upgrades, and problem solving)
Work with ArgoCD for application deployment and configuration management, ensuring
consistency
Collaborate with development teams to optimize container applications for performance
and efficiency
Implement solutions for monitoring, logging, and alerting for container platform security
Adhere to best practices for security, compliance, and disaster recovery for container

Hands-on experience with CI/CD methodologies
Extensive knowledge of AWS cloud services (EC2, S3, ECS, Lambda, EKS, ...)
Familiar with networking concepts and cloud technology
Work flexibly within a self-organizing agile team (Scrum), but also function well across team
boundaries. Adapt easily to a new environment with ever-changing demands and have
excellent problem-solving skills
Willing to work in a 24/7 on-call system (1 week every 6 weeks)

A permanent contract within an organization where work-life balance is a
reality, with up to 4 days of homeworking per week possible or working from one of our regional
offices. Working at CM means working in a professional environment and an exciting sector with a
wide variety of projects. The informal spirit will likely appeal to you. Within a motivated team, you
will have the opportunity to realize your ambitions. We invest in personal development and offer
opportunities to new talent. You can of course count on an attractive salary in line with your
experience, meal vouchers, hospitalization and group insurance, flexible working hours, and more.
