DevOps Engineer - Event Streaming Platform (m/f/d)

At Statista , we’re all about facts and data, for we are the world's leading business data platform. By providing reliable and easy-to-use data as well as various data analytics products and services, we empower people worldwide to make fact-based decisions.

Founded in Hamburg in 2007, we have quickly grown into a global company with offices in major cities such as London, New York, Berlin and Tokyo. And we still have a lot of plans. Our constant growth does not only prove our success, but also keeps creating new development and career opportunities for our employees.

We value and celebrate our diverse culture. You are welcome here for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or whether you prefer bar graphs to pie charts. Your story matters – keep writing it as part of our team.

Are you ready to join us?

We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to build and own our company-wide event streaming platform — turning our existing real-time event monitoring system into a scalable, self-service infrastructure that engineering teams across the organisation can rely on.

Your Role

• Design and operate a company-wide event bus built on Kafka, evolving our existing real-time event monitoring system into a scalable, self-service platform
• Define and maintain all infrastructure as code using AWS CDK across ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, VPC, IAM, and CloudWatch
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with zero-downtime deployments and robust rollback capabilities
• Create self-service tooling and documentation so engineering teams can independently onboard to the platform
• Instrument the platform with Datadog, define SLOs, and build runbooks that make operations manageable at scale
• Embed security best practices from day one: IAM least-privilege, secrets management, and network segmentation

Your Profile

• 3+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE
• Hands-on Kafka experience is a must — consumer groups, topic design, partitioning strategies, and operational troubleshooting
• Strong AWS expertise across compute, networking, storage, security, and monitoring
• Proficient with Infrastructure as Code — AWS CDK preferred, Terraform or CloudFormation also considered
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
• Comfortable with Docker, Python scripting, and Linux administration
• Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, and FinOps experience are a plus

In addition to our great team, culture, and our shared goal of empowering people with data, there are many other things that make Statista a great place to work! Join us and benefit from:

• Work from abroad up to 30 calendar days a year
• Hybrid work and flex-time
• International team and social events
