DevOps Engineer | Ship Software That Can't Afford to Break

Job Description:

Location: Bucharest Orhideea, Romania

Thales is a global technology leader trusted by governments, institutions, and enterprises to tackle their most demanding challenges. From quantum applications and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and 6G innovation, our solutions empower critical decisions rooted in human intelligence. Operating at the forefront of defence and security, aerospace and space, cybersecurity and digital identity, we're driven by a mission to build a future we can all trust.

In Romania, we are advancing innovation through software engineering, research and development, delivering solutions in key markets in which Thales Group operates. Our engineers design, develop and integrate solutions that impact global industries - from fully operational systems and subsystems for naval warfare and maritime security operations, to air traffic management systems, satellite-based solutions, tactical indoor simulations, identity and biometric technologies and more.

Move fast. For systems that never get to break things.

We're Thales ECC Bucharest, one of the fastest-growing engineering centers in the city. We industrialize how serious software gets delivered across defiance and critical-IT programs.

THE WORK
CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and release engineering. Platform engineering and SRE practices applied where reliability isn't optional.

YOUR STACK
GitLab CI/Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible/Terraform, Linux. Cloud is a plus (GCP especially, our sovereign cloud work runs on it).

YOU
4+ years in DevOps, platform, or site reliability engineering. You've broken a pipeline before and fixed it better. Not ticking every box? Apply anyway. We hire for trajectory, not checklists.

FRENCH TRACK
French is a multiplier here, never a requirement. French-speaking DevOps profiles are among the scarcest we hire. If you have both, say so first.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
Competitive package, private medical care, meal tickets, flexible/hybrid working, learning budget and certifications, and the stability of a group that has been building critical technology for 130 years.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
We hire DevOps continuously across programs. Apply in five minutes, no cover letter. Answer a few short questions about your stack and seniority, and a recruiter dedicated to your domain takes it from there. When the right project opens, you're matched first, at your level, on your timeline.

One application. Five minutes. No cover letter.

At Thales, we're committed to fostering a workplace where respect, trust, collaboration, and passion drive everything we do. Here, you'll feel empowered to bring your best self, thrive in a supportive culture, and love the work you do. Join us, and be part of a team reimagining technology to create solutions that truly make a difference - for a safer, greener, and more inclusive world
