You like infrastructure that’s clean, fast, and doesn’t randomly break at 3 a.m.? Same here!

We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps / Cloud Engineer in our HQ in Berlin to own our cloud infrastructure, automate the boring stuff, and keep our systems secure and scalable. You’ll work closely with our dev team, ship real improvements, and actually see the impact of your work.

If you’d rather ship improvements than talk about them in meetings — welcome! ✨
