IONOS Cloud runs on highly available, redundant block storage that must be provisioned quickly, reliably and at scale. You own the software behind it and build on the Linux storage stack instead of reinventing it. Your focus is provisioning.

Tasks

Design and develop the next generation of our storage provisioning
Add monitoring and alerting for the provisioning workflow to detect failures early
Make provisioning robust against failures and safe to retry
Design and implement provisioning that keeps storage highly available and redundant, including failover
Analyze and resolve complex issues across the storage stack, from the Linux kernel up to the provisioning layer
Migrate from legacy components step by step, without breaking existing users

Fluency with Git, Docker, shell and CI/CD, including GitOps workflows (for example ArgoCD)
