Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer (all genders)

At heyData, we're building an AI-powered compliance platform that helps organizations simplify information security, data protection, and regulatory compliance. By combining automation and AI, we enable companies to stay compliant with frameworks such as ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, and the EU AI Act—more efficiently and with less manual effort.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure and drive its reliability, security, and scalability.

In this hands-on senior individual contributor role, you'll define the technical direction of our platform, lead infrastructure initiatives from concept to implementation, and work closely with Engineering, Product, AI, and Security teams. You'll identify opportunities for improvement, solve complex infrastructure challenges, and establish best practices that enable teams to build and ship securely at scale.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, thrives in ambiguous environments, and enjoys turning ideas into pragmatic, high-impact solutions. While this is not a people management role, you'll provide technical leadership, set engineering standards, and mentor fellow engineers through collaboration and guidance.

Your Mission

• Own and evolve our AWS and Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure

• Improve platform reliability, security, observability, and operational excellence

• Drive Infrastructure as Code initiatives using Terraform

• Enhance our CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions

• Strengthen cloud security, identity and access management, and compliance practices

• Partner closely with Software, AI, and ML Engineers to enable efficient and secure product delivery

• Lead infrastructure initiatives and establish engineering best practices across the platform

Your Profile

• Several years of experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering

• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS, Kubernetes (ideally Amazon EKS), and Terraform

• Experience with CI/CD, Linux, and infrastructure automation (Bash; Python is a plus)

• Solid understanding of cloud security, observability, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code

• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with excellent problem-solving skills

• Professional working proficiency in English

Why joining us as our Senior DevSecOps & Platform Engineer:

• High-impact role with significant technical ownership

• Opportunity to shape the infrastructure of an AI-driven SaaS platform

• Work with modern cloud, security, and AI technologies

• Collaborative, international engineering environment

• Fully remote position within Germany or Serbia

Why heyData

• Your growth matters: High ownership, direct impact on growth, and clear development opportunities, an annual training budget, and genuine trust in your ideas.

• Work the way that suits you: Remote, in our Berlin office, or hybrid — you decide where you’re most productive.

• Time for yourself: 30 vacation days, flexible working hours, and a work culture that respects focus time and supports personal productivity.

• Top equipment: MacBook & more to help you get started smoothly.

• Additional perks: Urban Sports Club membership, Germany Ticket, company pension plan, and other benefits.

• A team spirit that stays with you: An international tech team with a clear path to scale, short decision paths, and real support to execute, and honest, transparent communication at eye level.

• Be yourself: Diversity makes us better — no matter where you come from, how you identify, or where you are in life.
