THE ROLE
As a direct-to-consumer e-commerce company, our digital products are part of the Canyon DNA and a key factor in delivering our brand experience to our customers. We're looking for a DevOps Engineer (m/f/d) who owns the infrastructure behind our apps — including our Backend for Frontend architecture in Azure — and the deployment processes that ship them. You will act as an important interface between our various digital products, and you'll value active contribution and the continuous optimisation of existing processes to improve ourselves as a team and, above all, our solutions.
This role can be hired in Koblenz, Amsterdam or Barcelona.

- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform across our Azure environments.
As you grow into the role:
- Strategic Infrastructure Ownership: Own the strategy, provisioning, and administration of the infrastructure behind our deployment, monitoring, and test automation processes.
- Platform Development: Continuously develop and optimise our processes and software platforms.
- Interface Management: Act as the interface between app development and our e-commerce and CRM systems.
- Observability & Operational Readiness: Strengthen observability and operational readiness through structured monitoring, logging, and alerting.
- Reliability Engineering: Improve reliability through automation, reducing manual operational toil.
