About the role

We’re looking for a Team Lead DevOps & IT (m/f/d) to play a key role in shaping the foundation of our next-generation hospitality platform.

In this role, you’ll lead a small but impactful team responsible for infrastructure, cloud, and IT operations. You’ll guide straiv’s transition to a scalable, cloud-based architecture, ensuring reliability, performance, and security across all systems — while keeping our current platform stable and efficient.

You’ll work hand in hand with our Head of Product and Innovation and a talented group of engineers to enable product innovation through robust infrastructure, modern DevOps practices, and forward-thinking system design.

Your Mission

Lead and mentor the DevOps and IT team, driving collaboration, technical excellence, and a culture of accountability.
Architect and evolve our infrastructure to ensure scalability, reliability, and high availability across environments.
Design scalable SaaS software architecture in close collaboration with Engineering and Product.
Drive automation across deployment, monitoring, and maintenance processes.
Enhance and maintain our CI/CD pipelines, observability stack, and system monitoring.
Oversee IT operations, ensuring secure, efficient management of systems, identity, and access.
Champion best practices in cloud security, cost optimization, and operational efficiency.
Enable innovation through modern DevOps methodologies and cloud-native approaches that empower fast, reliable delivery.

What You Bring

8+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, or Cloud Engineering, with 3+ years in a leadership or team lead capacity.
Proven expertise in AWS cloud architecture, automation, and operations.
Strong experience with microservices-based architectures, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible), CI/CD pipelines, Python and Bash scripting.
Solid background in software architecture and design for scalable SaaS systems.
Hands-on knowledge with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS)
Deep understanding of networking, monitoring, observability, and security practices.
Familiarity with IT operations — including endpoint management, internal tools, and identity/access management.
A problem-solver and systems thinker with strong communication and leadership skills.
Fluent in English (German is a plus).

We value different backgrounds and are happy to receive your application even if the above points do not completely match your profile.
