Yet knowledge gets stuck in tools and SharePoint folders - or disappears when experts leave. While IT is still planning, employees are already using ChatGPT and the like - without governance, and sensitive data is leaking out.\nWith the Knowledge Bots platform, Blockbrain creates what companies truly need: AI-powered knowledge management that is quick to implement, flexibly scales, and operates in a compliant manner. Teams use our GenAI building blocks to build tailored AI assistants, agents, and workflows in minutes - just like Lego.\nSeries A funded with strong growth momentum (10x product usage & 5x revenue in 2025)\n\nEnterprise clients such as Roland Berger, Bosch, IONOS, and Harting from industries including manufacturing, finance, and legal - sectors with the highest security requirements\n\nISO 27001 certified, EU AI Act ready. Made in Germany.\n\n Role & Impact\nYou join the Platform team and own the reliability of the systems our AI agents run on. This is a reliability engineering role: you treat operations as a software problem, so where others run a manual procedure, you write the automation that makes it unnecessary. You define what \"healthy\" means in numbers, measure it, and hold the line on it in production. When something breaks, you bring the system back and then make sure it cannot break the same way twice.\nReliability & Operations\nDefine and own SLOs and SLIs for the platform and manage error budgets against them\n\nCarry on-call, act as incident commander, and run blameless post-incident reviews that produce real follow-up\n\nRun production readiness and capacity planning ahead of demand, not after the page fires\n\nPlatform & Infrastructure\nRun and harden the Kubernetes platform (Helm, GitOps, service mesh) and the cloud underneath it (Terraform, multi-region)\n\nOwn observability: metrics, logs, and distributed tracing, so problems surface before users feel them\n\nAutomation & Efficiency\nEliminate toil through automation, self-healing systems, and automated remediation\n\nDrive cost visibility and FinOps practice across cloud and LLM spend\n\nSecurity\nBake security into the platform: least-privilege access, secrets management, policy as code, and vulnerability management\n\nExpected AI Skills\nAt Blockbrain, we don't just talk about AI - we use it every day. In this role, you will:\nUse coding agents to build automation, write infrastructure code, and reason through failure modes faster\n\nAutomate operational toil and incident workflows with AI in the loop\n\nCollaborate with the product team to give real-world feedback on Blockbrain's own tools from an operator's perspective\n\nStay curious about emerging AI capabilities and apply them to platform and reliability work\n\nWe're not looking for AI experts - we're looking for people who are genuinely open to working with AI as a daily co-pilot.\nYour Profile\nProfessional Experience: 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, ideally operating production SaaS at scale. Hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production is essential.\n\nCommunication: Clear and calm under pressure. Can coordinate an incident and write a post-mortem others learn from. Works in English; German is a plus.\n\nTech Affinity: Treats infrastructure as code and operations as a software discipline. Genuinely enjoys automating manual work away.\n\nSolution Orientation: Measures success in incidents that did not happen. Fixes root causes, not symptoms.\n\nOrganizational Talent: Plans capacity and reliability work ahead of demand and balances on-call, project work, and toil reduction.\n\nEducation: Degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience. We care about what you can operate, not the certificate.\n\nHard Skills: Kubernetes, Terraform / IaC, CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions), observability (Prometheus, Grafana, distributed tracing), a major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), scripting (Python, Go, or TypeScript), secrets management, and policy as code.\n\nSoft Skills & Mindset: Strong ownership, blameless culture, a bias toward automation, calm in incidents, and a security-by-default mindset.\n\nWhat Blockbrain Offers\nFlexible Work Models: Full-time position on-site in Stuttgart, Hamburg or Munich (3 days per week) with flexible working hours.\n\nBenefits: Deutschland-Ticket, Wellpass fitness membership, access to the latest AI tools, and regular company and team off-sites.\n\nTop Team: International team with exceptional talents.\n\nHigh Growth Potential: Steep learning curve in a fast-growing AI startup. A high level of personal responsibility and the freedom to actively shape processes.\n\nTop Equipment: MacBook, iPhone, headset, and all the tools you need to perform at your best.\n\nBlockbrain is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive work environment.\nCompensation\n€80.000—€120.000 EUR","description_format":"text","description_chars":4952,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Apple Macbook","Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Information Security","Security Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T03:27:13Z"}],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.687,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:4","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-02T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":137755,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blockbrain-senior-devops-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blockbrain-senior-devops-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-03T00:01:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4986,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-04T00:00:00Z"}}}
