About the Company

We’re a fast-growing software agency building webshops, complex platform solutions, and mobile apps for mid-to-large German customers. You’ll work closely with the founders and product/engineering teams, shaping our infrastructure and taking DevOps from solid foundations to a scalable, modern function.

The Opportunity

This role is hands-on today with a clear track to team leadership. You’ll own core DevOps capabilities across internal operations and product/client projects, with the autonomy to set standards, improve reliability, and drive automation.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and own Infrastructure as Code and cloud environments (AWS or Azure—experience with either is welcome)
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, observability, and incident/ops practices
• Lead hardening, cost optimisation, and reliability initiatives across services
• Tackle essential operational tasks and automate them away where possible
• Partner with product and engineering to support delivery for client projects
• Establish best practices and help grow a small DevOps team over time

What You’ll Bring

• Proven DevOps experience across IaC, cloud, CI/CD, and observability
• Fluent German for client conversations and stakeholder meetings; strong English for day-to-day collaboration
• Pragmatic, flexible mindset—comfortable learning new tools/clouds and choosing what works best for the problem
• Clear communication, ownership, and the ability to operate in a fast-moving, flat organisation

Nice to Have (not required)

• Experience migrating between cloud providers (e.g., AWS ↔ Azure)
• Familiarity with security hardening, cost governance, and SRE practices
• Exposure to client-facing delivery or agency/consulting environments

What We Offer

• Impact and autonomy from day one, with direct access to founders
• A high-ownership, low-ego culture where experimentation is encouraged
• Regular team meetups and off-sites
• Clear path toward team leadership

Interview Process

1. Short intro call (motivation, experience, culture fit)
2. Technical interview (including a practical case or discussion)
3. Final stage: meet the team & founders (ideally on-site)

Please apply via LinkedIn with your CV (German or English). If you prefer, include a short note on relevant cloud/IaC work or a brief case you’re proud of.
