What you will do
-
You analyze, plan, and develop cloud infrastructure architectures that form the platform our software engineers use to build our products
-
You provision infrastructure as code by default - you would rather automate something once, properly, than do it by hand repeatedly
-
You own and operate core AWS platform capabilities - accounts and IAM, networking, compute, and the managed services our products run on (e.g. EKS, MSK, RDS, ECS, Lambda).
-
You shape the DevOps practices that run the platform - from CI/CD and GitOps deployment workflows (e.g. GitLab) to FinOps practices such as cost monitoring and resource tagging
-
You build processes that ensure data-protection, compliance, and other regulatory requirements are met within development
-
You analyze and resolve disruptions in platform operations and make sure our customers are not affected by outages
-
You work closely with software engineering to align the infrastructure optimally with our applications
Your profile
-
You have a degree in Computer Science, Business Informatics or equivalent demonstrable qualification
-
You have solid professional experience designing, implementing, operating, and monitoring highly available cloud architectures (AWS, Docker) and distributed systems
-
You are an AWS generalist with hands-on depth - comfortable across IAM, networking, compute, and the breadth of services that make up a real platform
-
On top of those AWS fundamentals, you've operated key platform services such as container orchestration (Kubernetes, ideally Amazon EKS) and event streaming (Kafka, ideally Amazon MSK).
-
You provision infrastructure with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform and AWS CDK, and you live an automation-first mindset
-
Reliability and security are first-class concerns for you in any infrastructure you build.
-
You drive system design for complex services with an eye on performance and cost, take ownership of complex projects including architectural decision-making, and share knowledge across the team
-
You enjoy working in a team but are equally comfortable taking ownership
-
You are fluent in English; German and any additional language is a plus
-
You integrate AI into your daily work to move faster, solve problems smarter, and continuously improve outcomes - because this is core to how we scale and innovate as a company
