Cloud Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a hands‑on Cloud Engineer to join our global cloud infrastructure team. This role supports scalable and resilient SaaS operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with a strong emphasis on automation, observability, security and cost‑control.

This role requires flexibility to occasionally cover off‑peak hours, for example during evenings and weekend shifts, ensuring smooth operations outside of standard business times. You possess strong skills in infrastructure troubleshooting, CI/CD processes, and a proactive approach to maintaining uptime, meeting SLAs, and managing incident response.

This position offers the opportunity to work independently while collaborating closely with a global team. You will thrive in an environment that values transparency, technical excellence, and continuous improvement, with access to cutting‑edge tools, strong mentorship, and opportunities for innovation.

We’re looking for a responsible and collaborative team member who takes ownership of their work and keeps clear, consistent documentation of progress. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you—apply today!

Please send us your AWS certificate, when applying.
