To drive this journey, we are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer (gn) – Lead Role. In this key position, you will own our cloud infrastructure end-to-end, establish a sustainable operating model for a multi-stakeholder DevOps function and build self‑service capabilities that empower our product teams. If you enjoy deep technical ownership, building modern infrastructure and shaping engineering culture, we’d love to meet you!

• Own our cloud infrastructure across AWS (EKS, MSK, RDS, S3, IAM) and small-scale Azure workloads, including Terraform-based provisioning, cost optimization and capacity planning

• Ensure reliable deployments through full ownership of our CI/CD landscape (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Helm), including rollbacks, progressive delivery and drift detection

• Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities that enable product teams to provision and deploy independently

• Define SLIs/SLOs across critical services and optimize our observability setup with Datadog

• Own and enhance our cloud and pipeline security posture (network policies, secrets management, container security, ISO 27001 controls) while strengthening supply-chain security and access governance

• Lead and develop our DevOps team (1 internal engineer + 2 external FTEs) and establish processes for intake, prioritization and communication

Your profile

• 5+ years in DevOps, SRE or Platform Engineering, including 2+ years in a senior or lead function

• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, Kubernetes (preferably EKS), GitOps and observability (Datadog)

• Deep AWS expertise (IAM, VPC, MSK/Kafka, RDS, S3); experience with Azure or GCP is a plus

• Solid understanding of infrastructure security: network policies, secrets, container scanning, IAM and ISO 27001

• Experience leading a small team and collaborating across multiple stakeholders

• Ability to translate infrastructure concerns into business impact combined with a builder mindset

Why us?

• Be part of our growth story with plenty of room for shaping and ownership

• Fully remote within Germany – supported by our flexible working hours and workation policy

• A culture built on open communication, transparent feedback and collaboration at eye level

• 50 € monthly benefit via Probonio + 60 € birthday budget
