• Strong hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), ideally across multiple environments.
• Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, and container orchestration using Kubernetes.
• Strong programming or scripting skills in Python, Go, Bash, or similar languages.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems and production infrastructure challenges at scale.
• Experience working with relational databases and object storage systems in production environments.
• Strong communication skills with experience collaborating in asynchronous, fully remote teams.
• Ability to work across cross-functional engineering teams and contribute to complex architectural decisions.
• Experience operating within high-reliability environments with on-call responsibilities.

• Competitive salary ranging from €96,000 to €125,000.
• Equity through Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
• Unlimited vacation policy.
