Platform Engineer (m/f/d) (AI Startup) at Almetra · Berlin

Platform Engineer

We're looking for a (Senior) Platform Engineer to own and evolve our infrastructure — with a focus on developer experience and the chance to get hands-on with AI systems.

What you'll do

• Design and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines for fast, safe deployments
• Manage and scale Kubernetes clusters
• Improve developer experience — making it easy for teams to ship and debug
• Implement monitoring, logging and alerting for full observability
• Configure and optimise CDN infrastructure

You are

• 8-10 years of experience in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering roles
• Expertise in AWS
• Proficient with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code workflows
• Experienced in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar)
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes — deployment, networking, scaling and troubleshooting
• Strong sysadmin fundamentals — Linux, networking, storage and configuration management
• Comfortable working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and time series databases (TimescaleDB, Prometheus)
• A clear communicator who works well across engineering and data science teams
• Pragmatic and reliable — you know when to move fast and when to be careful

Nice to have

• Experience supporting ML infrastructure — model deployment, GPU workloads or training pipelines
• Background in CDN configuration (CloudFront, Fastly, Cloudflare)
• Familiarity with streaming data or video processing systems
• Interest in MLOps and bridging the gap between ML research and production

Why this role matters

You'll keep our systems running smoothly and help the team ship with confidence. And if you're curious about ML, you'll get real exposure to production AI systems.
