Jobbeschreibung

Intro

We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own and evolve our cloud infrastructure, and help us scale it securely. You'll work across AWS, IaC, CI/CD, and security/compliance, making pragmatic decisions that balance speed, reliability, and risk. This isn't a ticket‑taking role: we want someone who designs systems, takes ownership, and enables the engineering team to move fast without breaking things. Please note: at this stagewe're not able to offer visa sponsorship. Candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.

Your tasks

• Design, build, and maintain our AWS infrastructure (VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, multi‑account setups)
• Own infrastructure as code with Terraform: keeping it clean, scalable, and auditable
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines and secure deployment processes
• Build secure environments by default: IAM least‑privilege, encryption, secrets management, and security thinking baked into the platform from the start
• Drive observability: logging, monitoring, and alerting across the stack
• Lead incident response and contribute to reliability engineering (SRE fundamentals)
• Occasionally contribute to customer‑facing product work — APIs, backend services, UI — alongside the engineering team
• Enable other engineering teams: remove blockers, don't create them

Your profile

• Strong hands‑on AWS experience: VPC, IAM, ECS/EKS, networking, multi‑account setups
• Solid Terraform / IaC ownership: you've built and maintained it in production
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and secure deployment practices
• Security fundamentals: IAM, encryption, secrets management, KMS — you build secure by default rather than bolting it on later
• Observability experience: logging, monitoring, alerting at scale
• Startup or scale‑up background: you've worked at a Series A–B company or a small team, and know what it means to wear multiple hats and move fast with limited resources
• Some programming experience beyond IaC — Node.js is a plus, but Python, Go, or similar are fine too — plus either past experience with APIs/backends/UIs, or a genuine willingness to pick up occasional customer‑facing dev work. This isn't a full‑stack role (expect roughly an 80/20 infra‑to‑dev split), but we want someone curious enough to cross that line when needed
• Calm under pressure, pragmatic about trade‑offs, clear communicator across teams

Nice to have

• ISO 27001 / SOC 2 exposure or certification experience (no longer a core requirement, still a plus)
• DevSecOps tooling (SAST/DAST, SBOMs, scanning)
• Threat modeling, or continuous compliance automation

Benefits

• Unique & Powerful Mission: join a fast-growing and ambitious tech company that is shaping the future of carbon management and fighting climate change
• Compensation & Rewards:a steep learning curve and ownership from day one. We offer an attractive compensation package, including virtual stock options
• Health & Wellbeing: Urban Sports Club subscription to stay healthy & fit.1:1 coaching sessions with Nilohealth for your mental well-being.
• Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: A hybrid setup with 3 days/week in our Munich office. Real collaboration time with the team, plus the flexibility to structure the rest of your week where you focus best.
• Team Culture:Our transparency, Humility, and Accountability values create a unique and supportive working environment. Be part of a multinational, motivated team that thinks work should be fun!
• Connection & Networking:Summer Offsite, Winter Party, and regular team events We give you plenty of opportunities to connect with people, strengthen cross-functional relationships, and boost collaboration
• Trust & Transparency: monthly All-Hands Meetings, weekly update newsletters, and Founders Q&As. We keep you informed on current company numbers and goals
