You will be the first person who owns this area entirely.
Your mission is to make MAIA's platform reliable, secure, auditable, and developer-friendly, at a stage where every decision you make has lasting impact.
You take full ownership of our infrastructure and establish the standards that will govern how it grows - Hetzner first, AWS, GCP, and Azure for selected services.
You own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and deployment workflows - improving rollout strategies, versioning, and rollback procedures from where they stand today.
You build out and mature our observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Sentry, PostHog) so that problems surface before customers notice them.
You implement and own our security fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, TLS, vulnerability scanning, and patch management.
You drive the technical controls required for our ISO 27001 certification and build the systems that produce auditable evidence continuously.
