Job Description

ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.

• Own and evolve our AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), ensuring scalability, reliability, and security by design
• Design, automate, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI), embedding security controls (e.g., SAST/DAST) directly into development workflows
• Lead monitoring and observability initiatives (e.g., Datadog), proactively identifying system risks and driving incident response and resolution
• Define and implement cloud security best practices, including IAM, RBAC, vulnerability management, and infrastructure hardening across environments
• Drive security initiatives such as patch management, threat detection (e.g., GuardDuty, Falco), and credential leak prevention across systems and repositories
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams, contributing to architectural decisions and leading security audits and compliance efforts

Qualifications

• You bring 5+ years in DevOps/SRE and 3+ years in security-focused roles, with a proven track record in securing cloud-native systems at scale
• You have deep hands-on experience with AWS and Kubernetes in production environments, including strong knowledge of IAM and RBAC models
• You are highly proficient in Terraform and CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI), and comfortable coding in at least one language (Go, Python, or JavaScript)
• You have solid experience with data storage systems (e.g., PostgreSQL) and a working understanding of data pipelines/ETL processes (e.g., AWS Glue)
• You have strong expertise in cloud security, monitoring, and observability, including tools like Datadog, GuardDuty, Falco, or similar
• You are a proactive problem-solver with strong communication skills, comfortable working in Agile environments, and fluent in English
