Nearly 150 years of expertise, meeting the ambition and technology to power a new era of learning. \nIf you are the kind of person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, isn’t afraid of a blank page, and is excited to help shape the future of a global company undergoing a significant transformation, you might belong at Berlitz!\nWe are seeking a Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer to help design and scale our next-generation cloud infrastructure and software delivery ecosystem. In this role, you will take ownership of core areas of our internal engineering platform, partnering closely with the wider engineering team. While our development teams focus entirely on building high-performance services, your mission is to design the \"paved road\" that allows them to deploy code to production safely, rapidly, and autonomously.\nYou will work cross-functionally with backend and product teams-providing CI/CD, architectural guidance, and support on shared projects-while enjoying high autonomy and low bureaucratic friction. Best of all, you will work primarily on greenfield services, building modern, clean infrastructure from scratch with minimal legacy debt.\nWhat you'll do\nGreenfield Architecture: Architect, build, and operate secure, multi-account environments across AWS using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles.\n\nFlexible Container Management: Design and optimize container orchestration layers, standardizing on AWS ECS (Fargate) as the primary platform for lean microservices, and reserving AWS EKS (Kubernetes) for the specific cases where heavy workloads or complex scheduling require it.\n\nCI/CD Pipeline Design: Build unified, reusable, and secure automated delivery workflows using GitHub Actions and modern deployment tooling.\n\nDeveloper Enablement: Serve as the dedicated platform champion. Provide self-service infrastructure blueprints and automated guardrails so backend developers can own their deployment lifecycle without friction.\n\nObservability & Reliability: Establish robust telemetry, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch) to ensure system health and deep visibility into our greenfield applications.\n\nSecurity by Design: Embed automated security checks, IAM least-privilege models, and secure secrets management directly into the core platform layer.\n\nWho you are\nExperience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) with high production autonomy.\n\nAWS Expertise: Deep production-level knowledge of AWS core services (VPC, IAM, Networking, ECS, EKS, RDS, Lambda) and modern cloud design patterns.\n\nContainer Mastery: Deep understanding of Docker and container runtimes, with strong hands-on experience in AWS ECS (Fargate) and working knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS) for specialized use cases.\n\nInfrastructure as Code: Advanced, clean proficiency with Terraform for managing modular and scalable cloud architectures.\n\nCI/CD Ecosystems: High proficiency with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, and artifact management.\n\nAutomation & Scripting: Strong capability to write maintainable code or tooling in Go, Python, or advanced Bash.\n\nCollaboration: High self-motivation, excellent English communication skills, and a\n\nstrong remote-first work ethic.\n\nWhy you should join us\nAI-Native by Default: We build with Claude - code generation, API design, code reviews, architectural documentation, and debugging. You get first-class AI tooling that takes the boilerplate off your plate, so your time goes to system design, judgment, and the genuinely hard backend problems.\n\nPure Greenfield: No legacy code, no technical debt - you own the design of core services and domains for our global EdTech platform.\n\nInfrastructure Support: A dedicated Platform Engineering team handles provisioning and CI/CD so you can build on AWS services directly.\n\nAt Berlitz, connecting people across languages and cultures is at the heart of what we do. Our global workplace reflects the diverse world we serve, bringing together different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We create an inclusive environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to belong, contribute and grow.\nReady to shape what’s next? Join us and help build the future with us.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4352,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Education","Professional Services","Language Learning"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-01T03:25:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.685,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":59,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/berlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/berlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T11:39:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17300,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":93248},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=93248"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fberlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fberlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fberlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/berlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fberlitz-senior-platform-devops-engineer"}]}
