About the role

  • You manage and develop engineers across DevOps, Platform, and AQA.
  • You will drive the decision process and execution to consolidate these into a coherent, maintainable stack — improving signal quality, reducing tool sprawl, and cutting cost.
  • You own the AWS infrastructure design for multi-region deployments — networking, data residency, compliance implications, and operational readiness.
  • Your Platform team works directly with stream-aligned teams to identify and resolve systemic performance risks — including query tagging, timeout analysis, and database-level bottlenecks that can cascade into incidents.
  • You own our CircleCI pipelines — speed, reliability, and cost.
  • Your AQA team owns automated testing across the organisation — Playwright-based end-to-end tests, test suite maintenance, and the quality gate that governs every release.
  • You work with your Platform team to improve the internal tooling that stream-aligned engineers depend on daily.

Requirements

  • You have led or owned DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering functions in a product engineering organisation.
  • You understand cloud infrastructure deeply — specifically AWS (ECS, RDS, networking, cost management) — and you have experience with multi-region deployments.
  • You have hands-on experience consolidating monitoring stacks and building operational clarity from tool sprawl.
  • You have managed multi-discipline engineering teams, ideally spanning infrastructure, platform tooling, and quality engineering.
  • You treat cloud and tooling spend as engineering metrics.
  • You understand automated quality assurance as a system — test architecture, flakiness management, release gate design, and the relationship between test coverage and actual release confidence.
  • You are already using AI tooling in your daily work.
  • You don't write all the code — but you earn your team's respect through architectural judgment, the right questions, and a clear point of view on technical trade-offs.
Benefits
  • Paid Time Off - 30 vacation days.
  • A competitive salary.
  • A personal Training & Development budget of € 1,500 per year.
  • Responsibility and trust from day 1.
  • Individual coaching and further training to support you in your development.
  • A free BVG ticket.
  • Employee discounts at numerous companies (e.g. at the gym or in online stores).
  • Pension program with company match up to 30% of employee contributions.
  • A Culture of equity and Inclusion where you are appreciated for the person you are.
