Description

  • Operate and evolve 100+ multi-cloud streaming clusters and related database infrastructure in production.
  • Diagnose and eliminate cross-layer failure modes affecting storage, control planes, query performance, and other system dependencies.
  • Design and execute safe upgrade and rollout strategies across large-scale production environments.
  • Improve observability, automation, and operational ergonomics for shared infrastructure.
  • Partner with database and platform teams on scaling, partitioning, consumer fan-out, and query performance.
  • Work directly with distributed systems behavior, Kubernetes scheduling, storage engines, and compression trade-offs.
  • Serve as a primary escalation point and participate in on-call incident response.
  • Own vendor relationships, including WarpStream Labs and other system providers.
  • Review PRs and contribute to design documents, tooling, automation, and code improvements that reduce operational risk.
  • Participate in incident investigations, post-incident reviews, and follow-up remediation.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of engineering experience, including time in SRE, platform engineering, production engineering, infrastructure engineering, or distributed systems roles.

  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Helm, Terraform, or Jsonnet.
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems design and large-scale trade-offs.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language; Go is preferred but not required.
  • Working knowledge of Linux internals, networking, cloud storage, and performance/scaling behavior.
  • Experience participating in blameless incident response and writing high-quality post-incident reviews.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams while working autonomously.
  • Experience with systems such as Kafka, Redpanda, WarpStream, Postgres, ClickHouse, Snowflake, or Cassandra is a plus.

Benefits

  • Base salary range in Germany of EUR 97,034 to EUR 116,44, depending on level, experience, and skillset.
  • Equity and RSUs for every team member.
  • Bonus eligibility if applicable.
  • 100% remote work with a global team.
  • Global annual leave policy of 30 days per year.
