Your tasks

We’re looking for a DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer with a strong focus on database reliability and performance to help build the backbone of our platform. You’ll manage a mix of managed services and self-hosted infrastructure, ensuring that the systems powering KoRo’s e-commerce and operations are fast, observable, and resilient.

• Take ownership of our database clusters (MySQL), focusing on performance tuning, query optimization, and scaling strategies to support high-traffic e-commerce events.
• Ensure secure and scalable infrastructure using tools like Terraform, treating our database schema migrations and stateful sets with the same rigor as our application code.
• Manage centralised logging, monitoring and alerting systems.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines and support automated deployment strategies.
• Collaborate with your team's engineers on topics such as environment parity, database performance and observability.
• Identify bottlenecks and propose resilient and maintainable solutions to infrastructure challenges.
• Manage user access, secrets and backups across environments.
• Troubleshoot production issues, help shape, establish and participate in on-call rotations, and drive root cause resolutions.

Your profile

• 2–4 years experience in DevOps, infrastructure or platform engineering.
• Hands-on experience managing relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL) at scale, including replication, indexing strategies, and backup verification.
• Knowledge of Docker and containerised environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g. GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity of setting up and managing centralised logging and monitoring tools (e.g. DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana and Loki).
• Good knowledge of PHP, JavaScript and other web technologies.
• Fluent in English.
• Self-driven, pragmatic and good at communicating, with a strong sense of ownership.
• Nice to have:
  • Ideally, you will have experience with Shopware or similar e-commerce systems.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g. Terraform or Ansible).
  • German is a plus.
