The Role
Operate and scale AWS infrastructure across SaaS and customer on-premise environments. Maintain Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, identity, observability, and security operations. Support incident response, vulnerability scanning, ISO 27001 compliance, and operational resilience while improving platform automation and eliminating single points of failure. The role requires collaboration with development teams and customer installation support, with on-site presence in Cologne/NRW and hybrid flexibility.

Become a Part of ACCURIDS
Join us and help shape the future of pharmaceutical data!
At ACCURIDS, we’re building the data backbone behind life-science innovation — a system that identifies, links, and standardizes critical enterprise data in compliance with global standards such as ISO IDMP. We help global life-science companies launch products faster, more safely, and with better patient outcomes.
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.
What helps you succeed:
* __Adaptability & Continuous Learning:__ A strong engineering mindset with a proven ability to pick up new tools, architectures, and methodologies rapidly as our ecosystem evolves.
* __Cloud & Infrastructure Foundation:__ 3–5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering, with production exposure to a major cloud provider (we use AWS, but Azure or GCP experience is just as welcome).
* __Containerization Concepts:__ Solid foundational knowledge of the Kubernetes ecosystem, Docker containerization, and configuring CI/CD pipelines (such as GitLab CI).
* __Modern Operations (Our Stack):__ Familiarity with—or a strong desire to learn—Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and declarative GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Kargo).
* __Observability & Security Awareness:__ Observability & Security: Familiarity with cloud security tooling and monitoring/observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch). 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:
* __Impactful Career Growth:__ Evolve into a Lead DevOps / Platform Lead role or deepen your specialization in Cloud Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and DevSecOps as we scale.
* __Epic Office & Hybrid Work:__ Work from our brand-new office in the KölnTurm, featuring breathtaking views over the city (even higher than the view from the Cologne Cathedral!). Enjoy flexible hybrid options. (Note: On-site presence in Cologne/NRW is required; fully remote work is not offered).
* __Community & Industry Events:__ Connect and grow your network through exclusive industry events hosted regularly right in our scenic office space.
* __Competitive Compensation:__ Fixed salary package of €75,000 – €100,000 per year for a full-time, permanent position.
* Work-Life Balance & Perks: 30 days of paid vacation, a personal learning budget, hardware of your choice (Mac, Linux, Windows), and your choice between a subsidized Urban Sports Club membership or a €50/month City Plus Card.
* __Empowered Culture:__ High trust, flat hierarchies, and an environment where your decisions directly shape the product.
