At ACCURIDS, you’ll join a collaborative, growth-driven environment where your work makes a real impact from day one. How you’ll make an impact: -------------------------- * **You set up, maintain, and troubleshoot customer installations**, managing both high-standard SaaS environments and restrictive customer on-premise deployments. * **You operate and scale our core AWS infrastructure**, managing multi-account environments, EKS, RDS, S3, networking, and IAM. * **You support our development team with product operations**, maintaining and extending GitLab CI/CD pipelines, driving declarative GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Kargo), and managing incident response. * **You develop the Accurids SaaS platform stack**, focusing on enhancing platform automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), identity management, and advanced observability. * **You drive our security operations**, building out our compliance posture through log reviews, vulnerability scanning, active monitoring, alerting, and supporting ISO 27001 requirements. * **You ensure operational resilience and continuity**, working as a key senior pillar to transition our infrastructure from a single-point-of-failure risk to a robust, well-documented architecture.

Experience building a security posture is a strong plus. * **Core Competencies:** Business fluency in English and an openness to integrating AI-assisted tools (like Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT) into your daily scripting and debugging workflows. _(It’s a nice-to-have bonus if you have prior experience with Elasticsearch, Keycloak, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, or compliance frameworks like ISO 27001!)_ Why you’ll love working here: ----------------------------- * **Hybrid work model:** Work from our Cologne office with flexible hybrid arrangements. * **30 days of paid vacation** for a healthy work-life balance. * **Competitive salary package** aligned with your experience and impact. * **Personal growth and development:** Access a flexible budget for training, conferences, or other learning opportunities that support your individual development goals. * **Choose your perk:** Enjoy either a subsidized Urban Sports Club membership or a City Plus Card with a €50 monthly allowance. * **Empowerment and ownership:** Take responsibility and shape your role as we grow together. * Modern work setup: Select your preferred system and hardware – Windows, Linux, or Mac. * **Collaborative culture:** Be part of a dynamic, start-up-like environment that values flexibility, trust, and innovation.
