Locatie: Amsterdam

Vacancy: DevOps Engineer (Rust) - Logfile Management, KPN Data Services Hub

KPN's Logfile Management team builds and operates the pipelines that move, process and store logs and metrics at scale, running on the KPN Data Services Hub. Our products serve both external customers and internal KPN teams, supporting use cases in security (SIEM), observability and compliance. These are critical 24/7 services: we build our own tooling, configure and extend open-source components, and run everything we ship ourselves.

We're looking for an engineer who combines software development with real operational ownership, and who enjoys building better products together as a team. You write code, you deploy it, you run it, and you fix it at scale.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain high-performance data pipelines and services, primarily in Rust (some Scala)
  • Configure, extend and operate our log and metrics tooling as a service for our customers
  • Own the full lifecycle: design, build, deploy, operate, improve
  • Handle the operational side: reliability, incident response, automation, continuous improvement
  • Use Grafana as our single pane of glass for monitoring our own platform

Must-haves (CV screening criteria)

  • Strong software engineering skills, preferably Rust and/or Scala
  • Genuine affinity with operations: candidates who only want to write code are not a fit
  • Team player who actively collaborates and wants to improve the product together
  • Experience with CI/CD and DevOps ways of working
  • Fluent, professional-level English; Dutch strongly preferred
  • Proactive, ownership-driven mindset: this weighs as heavily as technical skills

Nice to have

  • Grafana LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir), Logstash
  • Kafka and streaming data architectures
  • Kubernetes
  • Certificate management (TLS/mTLS) for proxies
  • Networking fundamentals (DNS, routing, firewalls)

Practicals

  • 40 hours/week, hybrid
  • Every Friday in the Amsterdam office: demos and team borrel
  • Once a month in Rotterdam office: department update and lunch
  • Openness to a 24/7 shift rotation is required
  • Start: as soon as possible; long-term engagement when the fit is right
