Senior DevOps Engineer (all genders)

Sunday Natural is one of Germany’s fastest-growing natural health brands, and our eCommerce platform is growing with it – today it serves 7 million monthly active users, runs on €400k of AWS per year, and supports a development organization of 30+ engineers. Every one of those numbers has moved sharply upward in the last few years, and all of them will keep moving.

You would be our first dedicated in-house Senior DevOps Engineer – and the two biggest engineering projects of the next two years are yours to help define and drive: bringing our entire infrastructure under Terraform, and strengthening the scalability, security and compliance posture across our cloud environments.

Your role

• You shape the infrastructure vision. How we run, deploy, monitor and scale is yours to define, propose and defend.

• You work alongside our two external partners as the in-house technical counterpart – building the architecture and standards together, and bringing the deep platform knowledge back into the company. As the platform grows, taking the technical direction of that group is a natural next step, and one we would actively support.

• You own our AWS spend – €400k a year that currently has no dedicated owner, including where it goes and how we bring it down.

• You are the escalation point. When production is at risk, you decide.

• You report directly to the Head of eCommerce Platforms, with direct access to leadership for the decisions that need it.

What you'll own

• AWS infrastructure – EC2, RDS, Fargate, CloudFront, S3, IAM – plus Cloudflare, DNS and WAF

• Security & compliance – DevSecOps practices, system audits, patching and access reviews, and GDPR-compliant data handling across every environment

• Infrastructure as code – taking us from manually managed to fully Terraform-defined

• Data layer – MySQL under production load: tuning, replication, and backups you have actually restored from

• Cloud economics – a €350k annual AWS budget with real headroom for optimisation

• Delivery for 30+ developers – Bitbucket Pipelines, environments, and how fast and safely code reaches production

• Reliability at 7M MAU – monitoring, logging, alerting and incident response (New Relic, Sentry, CloudWatch, PagerDuty)

Your profile

• 7+ years running production infrastructure, with deep hands-on AWS as the person accountable when it breaks

• Security-conscious infrastructure operations – DevSecOps practices, system audits and access reviews, comfortable being accountable for GDPR-relevant data handling

• Infrastructure as code at scale – Terraform as your default way of working, on an estate of comparable size

• Deep Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) – you can trace a slow system from the kernel up and explain what you found

• MySQL under real load – slow-query analysis, replication, indexing, tested recovery

• Ownership of monitoring and incident response at scale – you have built the alerting that catches problems before customers report them, using tooling like New Relic, Datatog, etc. and run the on-call and post-incident process around it

• Experience defining standards that other engineers work to, whether with in-house teams or external partners, and holding the line on them

Nice to have

• PHP-FPM / Magento 2 performance tuning, or Varnish and Redis at scale

• Cloud cost optimisation at six-figure annual spend

• AWS architecture certification

• Experience with SIEM tooling (e.g. Wazuh) or similar security monitoring

• Background in direct-to-consumer eCommerce or other high-traffic system operations

• The Urban Sports Club membership and either Swapfiets bike rental or a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket

• We believe great things happen when we meet in person, which is why we embrace a hybrid model with one home office day per week – up to two depending on the area you are working in – and up to two weeks per year working from abroad

• Receive various discounts of up to more than 50 percent on attractive brands such as Flaconi, Bosch, Apple or Expedia

• You will be given real ownership and plenty of room for new initiatives, as well as the opportunity to contribute your expertise and implement your great ideas

• We like to celebrate each other! Regular tea & office parties, Christmas and summer feasts and various influencer events such as Women's Day

We are looking forward to your application!
