You like infrastructure that’s clean, fast, and doesn’t randomly break at 3 a.m.? Same here!

We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps / Cloud Engineer in our HQ in Berlin to own our cloud infrastructure, automate the boring stuff, and keep our systems secure and scalable. You’ll work closely with our dev team, ship real improvements, and actually see the impact of your work.

If you’d rather ship improvements than talk about them in meetings — welcome! ✨

OUR OFFER

  • 75% - 90% discount on private accommodation in all a&o hostels (depending on company affiliation)
  • attractive corporate benefits such as discounted leisure activities and events
  • subsidized language courses
  • Subsidized company pension scheme
  • 100% coverage of your public transport costs (job ticket)
  • support for your further education in the form of various trainings
  • Mental Health: We offer you free and anonymous mental health coaching from our independent partner „nilo" (www.nilohealth.com), who will support you with professional, private and health-related challenges
  • Of course we provide drinks, fruit and vegetables on a daily basis – and as hostel staff you can join your team for the meals served at the buffet
  • Seniority bonuses in the form of cash bonuses and additional vacation days

YOUR ROLE

  • Own and evolve our AWS infrastructure (EC2, RDS, S3, etc.)
  • Manage and optimize our web server setup (nginx on Ubuntu)
  • Operate and configure Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, WAF, DDoS protection)
  • Automate infrastructure and deployments (IaC with Terraform or similar tools)
  • Work closely with our PHP/Laravel development team
  • Ensure high availability and top performance in staging and production environments
  • Set up and maintain monitoring and logging (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK or similar)
  • Implement security best practices for web applications and infrastructure
  • Continuously improve our CI/CD pipelines

OUR TECH STACK

  • PHP 8.x / Laravel
  • nginx on Ubuntu
  • AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, etc.)
  • Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, WAF, DDoS Protection)
  • Docker
  • GitLab CI/CD
  • Monitoring & Logging: Grafana, Prometheus, ELK
  • Security-first mindset: web app hardening, access control, patching, firewall management

What You Bring

  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructures, ideally AWS
  • Strong Linux system administration skills (Ubuntu)
  • Solid nginx knowledge (reverse proxy, TLS, rewrite rules, etc.)
  • Experience with Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, caching, WAF, SSL/TLS, rate limiting)
  • Experience with PHP/Laravel environments is a plus
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, monitoring, and automation
  • Basic understanding of IT security and modern threat landscapes
  • A structured, self-driven working style – more builder than slide-deck artist 😉
