DevOps Engineer

Are you an experienced DevOps Engineer with a passion for sustainability and the energy transition? Seize the opportunity to join our client now. In this role, you will take full responsibility for an advanced cloud infrastructure and play a crucial role in the further development of a platform that contributes to a more sustainable future.

This company is a pioneer in energy management, offering an advanced charging station management platform (CPMS). With a strong mission focused on the energy transition, it develops innovative and technologically advanced solutions.
