Job Description

DevOps/Platform Engineering Lead handling platform reliability and security for MAIA's AI systems. Overseeing infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability for a fast-growing AI platform.

Responsibilities:

  • You will be the first person who owns this area entirely.
  • Your mission is to make MAIA's platform reliable, secure, auditable, and developer-friendly, at a stage where every decision you make has lasting impact.
  • You take full ownership of our infrastructure and establish the standards that will govern how it grows - Hetzner first, AWS, GCP, and Azure for selected services.
  • You own and evolve our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and deployment workflows - improving rollout strategies, versioning, and rollback procedures from where they stand today.
  • You build out and mature our observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Sentry, PostHog) so that problems surface before customers notice them.
  • You implement and own our security fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, TLS, vulnerability scanning, and patch management.
  • You drive the technical controls required for our ISO 27001 certification and build the systems that produce auditable evidence continuously.

Requirements:

  • Strong experience running production systems in a SaaS environment
  • Solid understanding of Linux systems and networking fundamentals, containers and reverse proxies and API gateways (e.g., Traefik, Kong)
  • Strong security fundamentals: IAM and least privilege, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and patching
  • Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar), and observability tooling (Grafana/Loki or similar)
  • PostgreSQL operations basics: availability, backup and restore, performance awareness
  • Fluent in English. German is a plus.
  • Strong ownership mentality - you take responsibility end-to-end, without needing to be managed
  • People enjoy working with you - not just because of what you know, but because of how you interact with them
  • Pragmatic builder - you improve systems without adding unnecessary complexity, and you can defend why a simpler approach was the right call
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities
  • You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits:

  • Flexible working hours and fully remote
  • Access to a WellPass fitness membership for your physical and mental wellbeing
  • Competitive salary of 70,000 - 80,000 EUR and VSOP (Virtual Stock Option Plan) participation opportunities
  • Direct and lasting impact on product reliability, security posture, and company growth
  • Short decision-making paths, real ownership, and a team that trusts you to lead your area without being managed
