About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You'll own and evolve the cloud infrastructure that Herman and our SaaS product run on.
Build and maintain the pipelines, clusters, and infrastructure-as-code that let our engineers ship quickly and safely, on sovereign EU infrastructure where mortgage data has to stay put.
Be the person developers and non-developers turn to when something needs debugging, deploying, or unblocking.
Manage our infrastructure platform through Terraform.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab or GitHub) that make shipping fast, repeatable, and safe.
Run our Kubernetes workloads, managing deployments through GitOps with Argo CD.
Manage cloud infrastructure as code with Terraform, primarily on Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud.
Support developers and non-developers alike: provide hands-on debugging help, unblock deployments, and make the platform easy to work with.
Own security and compliance in the platform.

Requirements

What you’ll need

4+ years of DevOps or platform engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated ownership of production infrastructure.
Strong cloud experience, primarily on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), our main platform.
In practice you'll also touch AWS, Azure, and IBM Cloud, so multi-cloud comfort is a real plus.
Experience with managing Kubernetes, Terraform, and Argo CD.
Proficient with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitLab or GitHub.
Solid scripting skills, ideally Python; Bash or Typescript also welcome.
Comfortable collaborating closely with developers and non-developers, providing support and guidance.
Security and compliance awareness, given our regulated fintech environment.
You are AI-native: agents already write most of your code and you build agentic workflows to multiply your output.
You can name the tools, the workflows, and the concrete recent projects where AI gave you real leverage.
Excellent communication skills.
Creative and analytical mindset.
Ambition to learn, experiment, and grow while staying humble and open-minded.
