Jobbeschreibung

At ablefy, we believe passion can turn into a career for anyone. With ablefy.io, we give coaches, consultants, creators, and entrepreneurs everything they need to build and sell digital products online — simply and efficiently. 70,000+ entrepreneurs already trust us to power their business.

Born in 2015, ablefy has grown into a true all-in-one solution — courses, memberships, payments, e-ticketing, and more. We take care of the hard stuff, so our users can focus on what truly matters: growing their business.

Today we're the #1 platform for coaches and creators in the DACH region — and we're not slowing down. That's where you come in.

Our mission; to build software that empowers everyone to start, run and grow a successful digital business - borderless, is supported by our high performance principles that are crucial to our success:

• Radical Collaboration
• Constructive confrontation
• Evolving expertise
• Empathetic leadership

About the role

We're looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to own the path from an approved pull request to production, making it fast, safe, and repeatable many times a day.

This is an outcome-driven platform role. What makes it different from a classic operations job is the level of end-to-end ownership. You aren't here to pick up tickets or maintain static pipelines; you own our delivery throughput and reliability metrics (DORA) directly. You will design, build, and optimize the internal systems that empower our engineering teams to ship code with high confidence, automating away manual friction and driving our transition toward a modern, self-service platform.

We are putting "you build it, you run it, you own it" into practice, not treating it as a slogan.

We are also moving into agentic engineering. AI agents that write, review and ship code are becoming a normal part of how we build, and that changes the shape of the delivery pipeline: more change arriving faster, and more of it needing automated verification rather than human gates. You will help design that pipeline and then keep developing it as we learn what actually holds up in production. There is no settled playbook for this yet, so we would rather build ours than wait for one.

Where you work:

this role is open across Germany. Hybrid or fully remote both work, depending on where you are based. Our office is in Berlin and you are welcome to use it, but the role does not require you to be there.

You’ll work directly with a small, senior engineering team and report to the Engineering Manager for the Enablement Bucket. Few handoffs, short feedback loops, visible impact.

Responsibilities

• Own release process & throughput: Design and manage CI/CD pipelines across CircleCI and GitHub Actions, driving the transition to a queue-based release model, automated rollbacks, and trustworthy DORA reporting.
• Manage Infrastructure as Code: Architect and maintain our AWS cloud infrastructure using Terraform (monorepo scale on Terraform Cloud, multi-account setup via AWS Control Tower, ECS in production, EKS for tooling).
• Drive stability & reliability: Enhance system observability, set up actionable alerting and SLOs, participate in the shared on-call rotation, and act as incident commander when needed.
• Ensure security, compliance & FinOps: Lead technical requirements for C5 and PCI DSS compliance, automate CVE and dependency management (Renovate, Sentinel), and build per-team cost visibility (FinOps).
• Enable teams to run what they build: Build internal developer tooling, reproducible environments and guardrails so product teams can safely build, run and own their services end to end, cost included.
• Evolve delivery for agentic engineering: Design and continuously develop the pipeline and release flow for a world where AI agents contribute a growing share of the code, moving confidence from manual review gates to automated verification, and iterating on the model as we learn.

Requirements

• Release Engineering & CI/CD Mastery: Proven track record of transforming slow release processes into fast, automated delivery pipelines (CircleCI, GitHub Actions) guided by DORA metrics.
• Hands-on Platform & Infrastructure Craft: Deep experience with AWS and Terraform at scale (multi-account, monorepo structures, Terraform Cloud, ECS/EKS). Ability to write custom tooling and comfortably read/debug application code in at least one language.
• Production Operations Ownership: Solid background in managing production infrastructure, observability (metrics, tracing, logs), SLOs, and holding the pager as an incident responder.
• Autonomous Delivery: Ability to frame ambiguous problems, design solutions from scratch, and deliver measurable outcomes without needing pre-written specs or micro-management.
• Collaborative Mindset: Strong communication skills to drive alignment across DevOps, QA, and product engineering teams without relying on top-down authority, and the written clarity to do it in a partly distributed setup.

Nice to have

• Experience with trunk-based development or merge-queue workflows.
• Familiarity with PCI DSS, C5, ISO 27001, or GDPR compliance frameworks.
• Experience with Policy-as-Code (Terraform Sentinel) and dependency automation (Renovate).
• Background in high-transaction SaaS, payments, or creator economy platforms.
• Experience integrating AI coding agents or LLM tooling into a real delivery pipeline, and adapting the pipeline to the change in volume and risk.
• Experience helping product teams take on ownership and on-call for services they built.

Who Thrives Here

You are proactive by default, low on ego, and focused on outcomes rather than rigid processes. You view yourself as an enabler rather than a gatekeeper, favoring pragmatic, incremental improvements over endless rebuilds. You are comfortable working where the playbook doesn't exist yet, and you enjoy small, senior teams, whether that's from our Berlin office or your own desk elsewhere in Germany. You take full responsibility for what you build and want to see its immediate impact on developer experience.

• A personal Training & Development budget of € 1,500 per year.
• Responsibility and trust from day 1.
• Individual coaching and further training to support you in your development.
• A free BVG ticket.
• Employee discounts at numerous companies (e.g. at the gym or in online stores).
• Pension program with company match up to 30% of employee contributions.
• A Culture of equity and Inclusion where you are appreciated for the person you are.

Diversity & Inclusion

At ablefy, we embrace our differences, as they are our greatest strength. We recognize that everyone has a unique perspective based on their experiences, identities, and thought processes, and we strive to create an inclusive environment for all. Discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability status, or any other aspect that makes you unique is not tolerated at ablefy. We aim to make growth accessible to everyone!

AI at ablefy

As an AI-first company, we put intelligent technology at the heart of everything we do. AI is part of how we build, learn, and grow together. It helps us work smarter, move faster, and focus on creating real impact. We believe the strongest results come from combining thoughtful technology with curious, driven people — and we’re excited to shape what’s next, together.
