We provide personalized journeys for borrowers and lenders. Oper's technology streamlines the mortgage application process, eliminates paperwork, and increases transparency.\nThe fastest growing part of our business is Herman, our AI agent for mortgage origination. Herman reads documents, checks them, and works a credit file the way an analyst would, inside the regulated workflow of a real bank. It runs on sovereign EU infrastructure, because our clients cannot send mortgage data anywhere else. Phase by phase, it automates more of the origination process: first employed borrowers, then the self-employed, and onward. This is not a chatbot bolted onto old software. It is agentic software doing real work in a regulated environment.\nA passionate and engaging team of around 30 stellar Fintech operators works vigorously to transform European mortgages by enhancing efficiency and alleviating borrower anxiety. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and Motive Ventures, we have raised EUR 14 million, placing Oper at the forefront of revolutionizing mortgages in Europe. Oper is headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium.\nNow, we're looking for an AI-Native DevOps Engineer to join our Engineering team and keep the infrastructure behind Herman fast, reliable, and secure as we scale across Europe.\nTasks\nYour Mission\nYou'll own and evolve the cloud infrastructure that Herman and our SaaS product run on. This is a hands-on role spanning infrastructure, CI/CD, and platform reliability in a regulated, security-first environment. You'll build and maintain the pipelines, clusters, and infrastructure-as-code that let our engineers ship quickly and safely, on sovereign EU infrastructure where mortgage data has to stay put. Just as importantly, you'll be the person developers and non-developers turn to when something needs debugging, deploying, or unblocking. You make the rest of the team faster. You'll join a small, senior DevOps team reporting directly to the CTO, with the room and the mandate to lead: you set the direction for how the platform is built and run, and grow into the technical anchor for infrastructure at Oper as we scale.\nWhat you'll do\nManage our infrastructure platform through Terraform\n Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab or GitHub) that make shipping fast, repeatable, and safe.\nRun our Kubernetes workloads, managing deployments through GitOps with Argo CD.\nManage cloud infrastructure as code with Terraform, primarily on Google Cloud Platform and IBM Cloud.\nSupport developers and non-developers alike: provide hands-on debugging help, unblock deployments, and make the platform easy to work with.\nOwn security and compliance in the platform. Build infrastructure that stays audit-ready and meets the demands of a regulated fintech, including ISO 27001 and NIST.\nManage secrets, identities, and certificates securely across the platform, keeping every tenant properly isolated.\nParticipate in on-call duties to ensure availability of the system during office hours.\nWork AI-native\nBuilding agentic software is what we do, and we expect you to operate your platform the same way: AI-first.\nUse AI agents to generate the bulk of your infrastructure code, pipeline configuration, and scripts under your direction, while you own the architecture, the review, and the quality. We measure your impact in shipped, reliable infrastructure, not hand-typed lines.\nBuild agentic workflows that do real platform work: scaffolding Terraform modules from a spec, drafting and debugging pipeline configs, generating runbooks, and triaging incidents.\nUse modern AI tooling as the default way you build, configure, and debug, not as an occasional helper.\nAim for a delivery cadence a non-AI-native engineer simply cannot match, and help us raise the bar on what an AI-native platform function looks like at Oper.\nRequirements\nWhat you'll bring\n4+ years of DevOps or platform engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated ownership of production infrastructure.\nStrong cloud experience, primarily on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), our main platform. In practice you'll also touch AWS, Azure, and IBM Cloud, so multi-cloud comfort is a real plus.\nExperience with managing Kubernetes, Terraform, and Argo CD.\nProficient with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitLab or GitHub.\nSolid scripting skills, ideally Python; Bash or Typescript also welcome.\nComfortable collaborating closely with developers and non-developers, providing support and guidance.\nSecurity and compliance awareness, given our regulated fintech environment.\nYou are AI-native: agents already write most of your code and you build agentic workflows to multiply your output. You can name the tools, the workflows, and the concrete recent projects where AI gave you real leverage.\nExcellent communication skills.\nCreative and analytical mindset.\nAmbition to learn, experiment, and grow while staying humble and open-minded.\nFluency in English; additional languages (e.g. Dutch, German) are a plus.\nExperience in a relevant industry (financial services) and thriving in a scale-up environment are a plus.\nBenefits\nLocation & Setup\nBelgium-based\nHybrid setup with 2-3 days per week in our Antwerp office\nWorking in CET hours\nReporting to the CTO\nClose collaboration with the Engineering team and the wider organization\nParticipation in limited on-call duties\nBenefits\nAs a fast-growing fintech, we're building a team where you can truly make an impact.\nWe offer:\nCompetitive annual salary, depending on experience\nEmployee stock options\n25 vacation days per year + 1 paid mental health day\nDynamic international team with 12 nationalities\nSupportive, inclusive, and collaborative culture\nLearning & Development budget with dedicated time for growth\nStructured onboarding with a dedicated mentor\nTravel budget for collaborating in our headquarters in downtown Antwerp\nAnnual company-wide Team Get Together in an inspiring location\nExtra-legal benefits depending on your location\nFull support with local administration\nHealth insurance and pension scheme\nFlexible working hours\nAll the equipment needed to do your best work\nInclusive at Our Core\nOper is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and contractors. All applications are considered without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6530,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Financial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:23:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.393,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":91,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:5","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-07T05:47:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/oper-credits-ai-native-devops-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/oper-credits-ai-native-devops-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-08T01:33:17Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2721,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2279,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-09T00:00:00Z"}},"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":450226},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=450226"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foper-credits-ai-native-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%2Foper-credits-ai-native-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%2Foper-credits-ai-native-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/oper-credits-ai-native-devops-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foper-credits-ai-native-devops-engineer"}]}
