Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- We're looking for a Platform Engineer to own our cloud infrastructure on AWS.
- Our SDK runs on customers' devices and servers, and every session talks to our platform: EKS clusters, Aurora Postgres, ElastiCache, CloudFront, Temporal, all managed with Terraform and GitOps.
- You will be the single accountable owner of this platform: its reliability, security, cost and the deployment pipelines the engineering teams rely on.
- Security controls, access management and evidence are part of the job.
- You report to the CTO and work daily with the backend lead and our IT operations engineer.
- Own the AWS infrastructure end to end: Terraform, multi-account setup, networking, IAM, EKS, databases, CDN.
- Run the Kubernetes stack: service mesh, certificates, secrets management, autoscaling, upgrades.
- Own observability for the platform: metrics, logs, alerting and the dashboards teams operate from.
- Build and maintain the CI/CD pipelines and deploy roles for our backend and frontend services.
- Implement and maintain the technical controls for SOC 2 and keep the evidence current.
- Plan capacity for continued fast growth and own platform cost.
- Seien Sie für die Infrastruktur erreichbar, verfassen Sie Runbooks und führen Sie Incident Reviews durch.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer - Associate (formerly SysOps Administrator), or both.
- You design IAM and access with least privilege and can explain your decisions to an auditor.
- You have been the single accountable infrastructure owner at a company, not one engineer in a large SRE team.
- Starke Linux-, Netzwerk- und Debugging-Fähigkeiten im gesamten Stack.
- You automate everything repeatable and treat infrastructure changes like code: reviewed, tested, reversible.
- You use AI coding tools daily and know where they help and where they don't.
- Bonus: SOC 2 or ISO 27001 controls and evidence work, Istio, Temporal, GitHub Actions with OIDC, cost optimization, CloudFront and WAF.
- You may not be a great fit if you have only operated infrastructure someone else designed.
- You prefer application development over infrastructure.
- You want to hand security and compliance to a separate team.
- On-call is a dealbreaker for you.
- Remote-first is a strict requirement for you.
Experience
- 5+ years running production infrastructure on AWS with Terraform.
- Deep EKS experience: node pools, autoscaling, networking and IP planning, upgrades, workload placement.
