About this job
We are currently looking for a DevOps Engineer GDN to join the team in Utrecht.
You will help maintain and enhance the infrastructure that supports nationwide subsurface information—data used to answer key societal questions, such as groundwater levels, soil stability, and the suitability of locations for renewable energy storage. As a DevOps Engineer, you ensure that the systems and applications supporting this work remain stable, secure, and future-proof.
Working from home and on-site in Utrecht, you focus on keeping the internal infrastructure and supporting applications reliable and continuously improving. You operate at the intersection of development teams and the platform team, providing the foundation on which digital products and services are delivered. You translate requests into actionable plans and implement them independently, with strong attention to security, availability, standardization, and life cycle management.
You’ll join a multidisciplinary platform team of about ten colleagues—specialists in areas such as databases, security, and architecture—where knowledge sharing and teamwork are central.
