Jobbeschreibung

Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Experienced Hires

Zalion is on a mission to eliminate repetitive procurement work through agentic AI. We’re building autonomous agents that operate deep within enterprise procurement — navigating messy data, legacy systems, and complex workflows to deliver real impact.

Join us early and help define how enterprise AI is done right.

🚀 What You’ll be responsible for

You will:

Own our platform foundations end-to-end — from AWS architecture and IaC to CI/CD, observability, and incident readiness.

Build and evolve secure, scalable AWS infrastructure (networking, compute, storage, IAM) optimized for reliability and cost.

Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines on GitHub that are fast, repeatable, and developer-friendly (clear feedback loops, safe deploys, strong defaults).

Define and operate infrastructure using Terraform — with clean modules, sensible standards, and automated validation.

Improve developer experience through golden paths: templates, self-service environments, paved roads for deployments, and internal tooling that removes friction.

Drive availability, scalability, and resilience : deployment strategies, rollbacks, capacity planning, DR thinking, and performance tuning.

Implement pragmatic security-by-default : least privilege IAM, secrets management, secure supply chain, and guardrails that enable speed without compromising safety.

Establish and refine observability and reliability practices (SLOs/SLIs, monitoring, alerting, postmortems, runbooks) that scale with the team.

Partner closely with product engineering to reduce operational load and keep delivery velocity high as Zalion grows.

AWS (core services; compute, networking, IAM, logging/monitoring, managed data services)

GitHub (Actions, CI/CD workflows, checks, release automation)

Containers & orchestration (e.g., ECS/Fargate and/or Kubernetes depending on evolution)

Observability tooling (metrics, logs, tracing; e.g., Grafana/Prometheus/Opentelemetry and friends)

Security tooling (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, secrets scanning, policy as code)

✅ What We’re Looking For

Strong experience as a Platform / DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer in product teams shipping to production.

Deep practical knowledge of AWS : networking, IAM, security controls, and designing for failure.

Hands-on expertise with Terraform (not just “running apply”): modules, state strategy, DRY patterns, environment separation, and automated reviews.

Solid CI/CD engineering experience with GitHub : pipeline design, artifact/versioning, deployment safety, and fast feedback loops.

A strong mindset for reliability and operability : you think in failure modes, automation, and measurable outcomes (SLOs).

Security awareness and discipline: you build guardrails that make the secure path the easy path.

A builder mindset : you ship improvements, measure impact (lead time, deploy frequency, MTTR), and iterate.

Comfort with ambiguity and ownership : you proactively identify platform bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for perfect specs.

4+ years experience in relevant roles (startup/scale-up experience is a plus).

Build the platform behind agentic AI systems that run in real enterprise environments

Immediate impact — your work accelerates every engineer and every release

Competitive salary + meaningful equity

High-end equipment

We value clarity and honesty. If something is messy, we’ll say so — and then we’ll fix it. We want an architect who enjoys building platforms that are secure, observable, and boring-in-production (in the best way).
