Job Summary
In this role, you develop the platform end-to-end, optimize AWS infrastructure, design CI/CD pipelines, and enhance developer experience through automation and security standards.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Own our platform foundations end-to-end - from AWS architecture and IaC to CI/CD, observability, and incident readiness.
- Build and evolve secure, scalable AWS infrastructure (networking, compute, storage, IAM) optimized for reliability and cost.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines on GitHub that are fast, repeatable, and developer-friendly (clear feedback loops, safe deploys, strong defaults).
- Define and operate infrastructure using Terraform - with clean modules, sensible standards, and automated validation.
- Improve developer experience through golden paths: templates, self-service environments, paved roads for deployments, and internal tooling that removes friction.
- Drive availability, scalability, and resilience: deployment strategies, rollbacks, capacity planning, DR thinking, and performance tuning.
- Implement pragmatic security-by-default: least privilege IAM, secrets management, secure supply chain, and guardrails that enable speed without compromising safety.
- Establish and refine observability and reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, monitoring, alerting, postmortems, runbooks) that scale with the team.
- Partner closely with product engineering to reduce operational load and keep delivery velocity high as Zalion grows.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Deep practical knowledge of AWS: networking, IAM, security controls, and designing for failure.
- Hands-on expertise with Terraform: modules, state strategy, DRY patterns, environment separation, and automated reviews.
- A strong mindset for reliability and operability: you think in failure modes, automation, and measurable outcomes (SLOs).
- Security awareness and discipline: you build guardrails that make the secure path the easy path.
- A builder mindset: you ship improvements, measure impact (lead time, deploy frequency, MTTR), and iterate.
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership: you proactively identify platform bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for perfect specs.
Experience
- Starke Erfahrung als Platform / DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer in Produktteams, die in die Produktion liefern.
- Solid CI/CD engineering experience with GitHub: pipeline design, artifact/versioning, deployment safety, and fast feedback loops.
- 4+ years experience in relevant roles (startup/scale-up experience is a plus).
