MAIA is hiring a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer (f/m/x)

Requirements

• Solid experience running production systems on Linux servers you administered yourself, not only on managed services like ECS, Cloud Run, App Service or similar.
• Strong working knowledge of Docker and Docker Compose in production. Experience with reverse proxies and API gateways such as Traefik or Kong.
• Hands-on PostgreSQL operations experience: backup and restore that you have personally set up and tested, performance awareness, connection pooling.
• Proven experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi or equivalent).
• Working experience with an observability stack such as Grafana and Loki, Prometheus, or comparable tooling.
• Strong security fundamentals: IAM and least privilege, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and patching.
• Fluent in English.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Hetzner specifically.
• Experience with self-hosted Supabase and Postgres-based platforms.
• Experience with ISO 27001 implementation, especially technical controls.
• Experience with NixOS.
• Experience with SRE practices: SLOs, error budgets, and incident review culture.
• Familiarity with multi-cloud usage patterns (Hetzner, AWS, Azure, GCP).
• German is a plus.

Benefits

• Short decision-making paths, real ownership, and a team that trusts you to lead your area.
• Direct impact on product reliability, security posture, and company growth.
• Flexible working hours and fully remote.
• Access to a WellPass fitness membership for your physical and mental wellbeing.
• Competitive salary of 75,000 to 85,000 EUR and VSOP (Virtual Stock Option Plan) participation opportunities.
• Most of our team is based in Leipzig, but remote team members are a natural part of how we work, not an exception. We do bring the full team together in Leipzig, or somewhere else, a few times a year for team events and planning sessions, with all travel and accommodation costs covered.

Additional Information

• If you are somewhere in Germany you are in scope.
• Hiring timeline: We are aiming to have this role filled by May 2026. The process consists of three stages: an intro call (30min), a technical interview (90min) and a final conversation with leadership. We move quickly and will keep you informed at every step.
