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
