Jobbeschreibung

WhyBrilliant is sourcing applicants for this role on behalf of a confidential company in the AI-for-manufacturing space.

Senior Platform Engineer | Berlin (Hybrid) (Also known as: Senior DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), Infrastructure Engineer. Originally posted as "Platform Engineer (m/f/d)")

We're looking for a (Senior) Platform Engineer to own and evolve the infrastructure behind an AI-first software platform built for modern manufacturing — with a strong focus on developer experience and hands‑on work with GPU workloads, streaming video pipelines, and MLOps.

Why this role matters

The company is building the AI-first software layer for modern manufacturing, and needs infrastructure that's both highly resilient and developer‑friendly. As Platform Engineer, you'll bridge cutting‑edge AI systems, complex video processing, and robust cloud infrastructure — keeping the engineering team shipping and debugging at high velocity. Without you, they can't scale Kubernetes clusters, optimize CDNs, or integrate MLOps workflows to support rapid growth.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform.
• Manage, scale, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters supporting intensive GPU workloads and streaming data/video processing systems.
• Own and optimize CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe, automated deployments.
• Build monitoring, logging, and alerting with Prometheus and other observability tools for full system visibility.
• Configure, secure, and optimize CDN infrastructure (CloudFront, Fastly, or Cloudflare) for low‑latency data delivery.
• Improve daily developer experience through clean workflows, automation, and debugging tools for the software and data science teams.

Who this is a fit for

• 8–10 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering.
• Deep production expertise in AWS and infrastructure‑as‑code workflows with Terraform.
• Proven track record managing and scaling Kubernetes in production.
• Strong Linux sysadmin, networking, storage, and configuration management fundamentals.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and time‑series databases like TimescaleDB.
• A collaborative communicator, comfortable aligning with remote engineering and data science peers.

What it's like to work here

Deep ownership and flexibility — engineers own outcomes without micromanagement or clock‑watching, and set their own schedule. The role is hybrid in Berlin, though most of the dev team is distributed elsewhere, so intentional remote collaboration matters. Decisions are made collaboratively with a team of staff‑level peers; the Head of Software facilitates, with the CTO looped in only for major architectural calls. Proactive builders thrive here; passive caretakers don't.

The offer

• High autonomy and flexibility — start and end your day as you see fit.
• Direct access to the Head of Software and CTO, no layers of micromanagement.
• Hybrid model based in Berlin, with modern remote collaboration tools.
• Premium benefits: Urban Sports Club membership, quarterly team retreats.

This probably isn't for you if you prefer waiting for tickets rather than proactively fixing infrastructure bottlenecks, need rigid 9-to-5 hours or hand-holding, or prefer working in isolation rather than tight cross‑team collaboration.
