Founding DevOps Engineer(SRE)

Berlin • Cybersecurity & AI Startup • Recently FundedA newly funded cybersecurity startup in Berlin is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join as a founding team member and help design the core security, identity, and enforcement foundations of a next-generation AI-powered risk management platform.We are an early-stage startup founded by experienced cybersecurity leaders with backgrounds in Israeli intelligence units.We are looking for a hands-on Founding DevOps Engineer for a hybrid role based in central Berlin. If you are passionate about cybersecurity and AI, thrive in fast-paced startup environments, and enjoy building complex platforms from the ground up, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.We’re building a next-generation cyber risk platform that helps enterprises understand, measure, and reduce identity risk at scale. Our goal is to turn complex identity and security data into clear, actionable risk insights that CISOs and CTOs can trust. You will work from scratch on core platform components from day one, shaping how modern enterprises manage and reason about risk using cloud-native systems, AI-driven analysis, and automated enforcement through AI agents.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, build, and operate the core cloud infrastructure of the platform from day one, supporting a secure, scalable, production-grade SaaSOwn AWS environments end to end, including networking, IAM, compute, storage, and security boundariesBuild and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform to ensure repeatable, auditable, and secure deploymentsDesign and operate CI/CD pipelines enabling fast, safe, and reliable delivery across all servicesOwn containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS), including deployment, scaling, and runtime securityImplement observability across the platform using metrics, logs, and traces (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana)Ensure high availability, reliability, and performance of production systems, including databases and graph storesOperate and secure data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, graph databases) in production environmentsEmbed security best practices across infrastructure, including least privilege IAM, network isolation, and Zero Trust principlesPartner closely with backend and AI engineers to design secure service boundaries and deployment modelsTroubleshoot and resolve complex production incidents across infrastructure, networking, and application layersBuild PoCs and validate infrastructure and security design decisions in an early-stage environmentEstablish DevOps, SRE, and operational best practices as the company scalesSupport compliance readiness by enabling controls, logging, and evidence collection for security frameworksContinuously improve platform cost efficiency, reliability, and operational maturityBuild whole platform DevOps setup from scratchMust have skills5+ years of DevOps/SRE experience5+ years experience with AWS in production environmentsHands-on coding mentality;
