You will be the first person to take full ownership of this area.
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 will take full ownership of our infrastructure and establish the standards that will guide its growth — Hetzner as primary, with AWS, GCP, and Azure for selected services.
You will own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and deployment workflows — improving rollout strategies, versioning, and rollback procedures from their current state.
You will build out and mature our observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Sentry, PostHog) so that issues are detected before customers notice them.
You will implement and own our security fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, TLS, vulnerability scanning, and patch management.
You will drive the technical controls required for ISO 27001 certification and build systems that continuously produce auditable evidence.

Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar), and observability tooling (Grafana/Loki or similar).
Basic PostgreSQL operations knowledge: high availability, backup and restore, and performance awareness.
Fluent in English. German is a plus.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities.

People enjoy working with you — not just because of your expertise, but because of how you collaborate.
