Your duties

If you want to shape the future, this is your opportunity! Advantest is one of the world’s leading providers of automatic test equipment for the semiconductor industry. We work closely together with leading companies in the most exciting and emerging markets. Almost any modern AI, cloud, or embedded system is based on semiconductor devices that have been tested with our products.

THE ROLE 
We are looking for Linux Infrastructure Security Expert (m/f/d) that helps us build a modern, resilent and secure platform used by hundreds of engineers accross the R&D organization.
This role is intended for senior engineers with experience with internal and external cloud infrastructures in a linux environment.  

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own and continuously harden our internal service landscape — Kubernetes, virtualization, and automation (Ansible) — with security as a first principle, not an afterthought.
  • Drive iterative improvements to our k8s cluster infrastructure and set the bar for how we build and operate R&D applications at scale.
  • Architect, build, and run infrastructure for web and backend applications used by engineering teams worldwide.
  • Stay ahead of the curve — evaluate emerging technologies and make the call on what actually moves the needle for us.
  • Collaborate directly with engineers across Germany, the US, China, and Japan. Different time zones. Different perspectives. One shared goal.

Your profile

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Deep Linux expertise — you're equally comfortable tuning kernel parameters and debugging a misbehaving service. You own the full stack.
  • Solid hands-on experience setting up, operating, and securing Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
  • A track record of designing and maintaining complex, secure service infrastructures — not just running them, but making them better.
  • Programming fluency in one or more of: Python, Go, JavaScript/TypeScript, or equivalent. You write code that others are glad to maintain.
  • Real-world experience with public cloud (AWS or Azure) — you know how to build infrastructure that scales without bleeding money or security.
 

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience with Red Hat Linux
  • Background in semiconductor testing or the semiconductor industry
  • German, Japanese, or Chinese language skills — always a plus in a truly global team
