(Senior) Infrastructure Engineer (all genders)

Open 33d

Summary

Manages AWS and Hetzner cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes, builds CI/CD and deployment tooling for engineering and data science teams, and supports ML/LLM workloads including RAG systems. Operates production environments with observability, security, and compliance best practices as an enabler rather than a bottleneck.

  • Own and Evolve Our Infrastructure – You take ownership of our AWS and Hetzner environments and evolve them further – everything as Infrastructure as Code, running, scaling, and upgrading the Kubernetes clusters that our webapps and ML workloads run on
  • Run Our ML and LLM Platform in Production – You keep our webapps, self-hosted tools, and ML stack in stable, secure production environments, with monitoring, logging, and alerting that covers LLM-based workloads as well as classic services
  • Build Paved Roads for Engineers and Data Scientists – You provide the containerization, CI/CD, and deployment tooling that let both teams ship and run their own services – from webapps to RAG pipelines – enabling rather than taking over, as deployment stays a shared responsibility
  • Keep Us Secure and Compliant – You handle patching, secrets management, access control, and backups, and support audits and certification efforts as part of your routine work
  • Production-Grade Cloud Experience – You bring strong hands-on AWS experience (EKS, RDS, EC2, IAM, networking) and are open to hybrid setups including bare-metal/VPS providers like Hetzner
  • Hands-On With ML and LLM Workloads – You've run at least one of these in production yourself – RAG pipelines, vector databases (e.g. ChromaDB), or ML tooling (e.g. MLflow, Langfuse) – and can walk us through what broke and how you fixed it
  • IaC and Kubernetes as Your Craft – Infrastructure as Code is your default working mode (OpenTofu/Terraform), backed by solid scripting skills (e.g. Bash, Python) and confidence troubleshooting Kubernetes in production
  • Enabler Mindset, Pragmatic Approach – You share knowledge through pairing, reviews, and reusable templates, explain trade-offs clearly to any audience, prioritize autonomously, and choose "good enough" over over-engineered
  • We take our responsibility for a green future seriously and aim to make a significant contribution to CO2 reduction through our commitment to energy efficiency.

  • We are ambitious and constantly strive to improve. That’s why we give people the space to grow and take responsibility, and the support they need.

  • We are digital, innovative, customer focused and highly motivated to achieve great things with you.

  • We are a real team and support each other, speak our minds, have fun together and have a genuine desire to make a positive difference.

  • We understand the importance of in-person interactions versus virtual ones, which is why we have thoughtfully designed our office in Berlin and focus on team events. At the same time, we place a high value on flexibility, allowing our team to work from home two days a week.
