Job description

MotorK sits at the intersection of deep vertical complexity - automotive SaaS, 10,000+ dealerships, enterprise-grade requirements - and a company that has gone all-in on AI as its primary engine of scale.

We're seeking candidates who bring:

• Leadership Excellence: A proven history of guiding teams and projects to success.
• Technical Proficiency: A strong understanding of modern technologies and the ability to adapt quickly.
• AWS & Kubernetes Mastery: Hands-on experience with these platforms, enabling you to build and manage complex systems.
• All In on AI: We are extreme on AI adoption, we do everything with AI, cloud infra is no difference

This role offers the opportunity and autonomy to make decisions in the cloud and infrastructure domain for the leading SaaS company in the European automotive industry and to guide your colleagues in software development to adopt best practices in CI/CD, SRE, and infra maintenance.

• Extensive experience (minimum of 8 years) working in a live production cloud infrastructure is essential. Experience in environments serving thousands of clients with SLA commitments is highly advantageous.

• Proven experience in production-critical environments with SRE framework adoptions is necessary. You will be expected to develop/build the observability platform and lead the implementation of a mature SRE framework across company products and development teams, ensuring SLO/SLA for our customers.

• Obsessed on AI. Everything should be AI First / AI driven / Done with AI
• Good Knowledge of Cloud Services, Cloud Architecture, Cloud Governance & Cost Control experience is essential, as MotorK is a cloud-native environment.

• Solid understanding of:
  • Infrastructure as a code at scale.
  • AWS Governance Experience, with a focus on Security & Networking.
  • FinOps and Cost Controlling.
  • Disaster recovery and business continuity in cloud environments.

• Solid experience in CI/CD tools and frameworks and DevOps adoption as you are required to evolve the CI/CD platform and help other teams in adopting best practices in continuous deployment.

• This is a leadership position. You will lead your team and champion the use of best practices throughout MotorK's Tech organization. Prior experience in team management and the ability to communicate effectively in senior management settings are essential for this role.

• Salary from €85,000/year with the final offer adjusted based on experience and skill set.
• Meal vouchers
• 26 days holiday + national holidays
• 30 days a year to work from wherever you want
• A flexible hybrid setup
