About The Company
Spanflug Technologies GmbH is a technology company based in Munich. Its mission is to make the procurement of custom parts as fast and simple as possible for both buyers and suppliers. To achieve this, Spanflug efficiently connects supply and demand through a digital platform and uses AI and data to automate traditionally time-consuming workflows.
The Spanflug BUY procurement solution minimizes the complexity of sourcing custom parts by connecting industrial buyers with thousands of machines across the EU through an automated digital platform—from instant quote to delivery. Its offer includes turned parts, milled parts, sheet-metal parts, 3D-printed parts and complete assemblies.
Spanflug MAKE is a quoting and costing software solution that helps machining companies improve the accuracy and efficiency of their costing, quote generation, process planning and work preparation. This enables them to respond to customer inquiries more quickly and supports the long-term profitability of their businesses.
Spanflug operates a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2015. The company was spun out of the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2018 and is supported by UnternehmerTUM. The German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) has held a stake in Spanflug since 2020, and CERATIZIT S.A. has been a shareholder since 2024.
About the Role
What you can expect from us
Munich, hybrid with two office days per week.Spanflug’s software helps manufacturers quote and produce custom parts and helps buyers source them. Our Platform team runs the cloud infrastructure behind it and a few reliable self-service workflows that enable our development teams to deploy, monitor and operate their services independently.
- A small team where everyone works across the whole platform. If you bring deep expertise in one area, you can own it.
- Goals you own end to end, planned together each Monday. Support duty rotates weekly, and the rest of your time goes to goal work.
- A Claude Code seat from day one, and room to try other AI coding tools.
Your Mission at our Company
- You operate and improve our cloud infrastructure, deployment systems and shared platform services, keeping production reliable and fast.
- You run our Kubernetes clusters with GitOps and build infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines with Terraform, Argo CD and GitHub Actions.
- You help move existing services onto Kubernetes, with practical plans for validation, rollback and recovery.
- You build automation and tools that reduce manual work and enable self-service.
- You diagnose issues across infrastructure and applications and improve monitoring, alerting, access controls and recovery.
- You work closely with our development teams on the improvements they need and share what you learn. A change is done when the teams use it.
- You take your turn on our weekly support duty: requests from development teams, dependency updates, and cloud cost and maintenance notices. Working hours only, with no pager and no on-call shifts.
That’s what you come with
- You have production experience with Kubernetes and a major cloud provider, ideally AWS.
- You have experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines and GitOps.
- You debug issues across containers, Kubernetes networking and cloud services, and use logs and metrics to find out why something fails.
- You write automation and tooling in Python or a comparable language and are comfortable with shell scripts.
- You work with AI coding agents every day: you know where they save time, review what they produce and understand the systems you change.
- Our tools change quickly, especially with AI. You pick up unfamiliar systems fast and help the team adopt what works.
- You have sound judgment about reliability, security, cost and maintenance, explain trade-offs clearly and choose a solution that fits the problem.
- You communicate clearly in English, work independently and involve colleagues when decisions affect them.
- You have a degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
You don’t need experience with every tool listed. If most of this fits and you want to learn the rest, apply.
How we hire: a 30-minute video call, a technical challenge with the team in our Munich office, and a final conversation with our management.
Why Spanflug?
We offer you a motivated team that works together to make a real difference. With flat hierarchies and open communication, we create an environment where you have plenty of room to shape things and take ownership. You’ll work on an exciting digitalisation topic with real impact, while actively developing your skills and growing professionally.Our beautiful office is centrally located in Munich, combined with flexible working hours and home office options. You’ll also benefit from subsidised lunches, regular team events, Wellpass, JobRad and many other benefits.

Sounds like a good fit? We’d love to hear from you.
