Senior DevOps Engineer

Sunday Natural is one of Germany’s fastest-growing natural health brands, and our eCommerce platform is growing with it – today it serves 7 million monthly active users
, runs on €400k of AWS per year
, and supports a development organization of 30+ engineers
. Every one of those numbers has moved sharply upward in the last few years, and all of them will keep moving.

You would be our first dedicated in-house Senior Dev Ops Engineer – and the two biggest engineering projects of the next two years are yours to help define and drive: bringing our entire infrastructure under Terraform, and strengthening the scalability, security and compliance posture across our cloud environments.

• You shape the infrastructure vision. How we run, deploy, monitor and scale is yours to define, propose and defend.

• You work alongside our two external partners as the in-house technical counterpart – building the architecture and standards together, and bringing the deep platform knowledge back into the company. As the platform grows, taking the technical direction of that group is a natural next step, and one we would actively support.

• You own our AWS spend – €400k a year that currently has no dedicated owner, including where it goes and how we bring it down.

• You are the escalation point. When production is at risk, you decide.

• You report directly to the Head of eCommerce Platforms
  , with direct access to leadership for the decisions that need it.

• AWS infrastructure – EC2, RDS, Fargate, Cloud Front, S3, IAM – plus Cloudflare, DNS and WAF

• Security & compliance – Dev Sec Ops  practices, system audits, patching and access reviews, and GDPR‑compliant data handling across every environment

• Infrastructure as code – taking us from manually managed to fully Terraform‑defined

• Data layer – MySQL under production load: tuning, replication, and backups you have actually restored from

• Cloud economics – a €350k annual AWS budget with real headroom for optimisation

• Delivery for 30+ developers – Bitbucket Pipelines, environments, and how fast and safely code reaches production

• Reliability at 7M MAU – monitoring, logging, alerting and incident response (New Relic, Sentry, Cloud Watch, Pager Duty)

• 7+ years running production infrastructure
  , with deep hands‑on AWS as the person accountable when it breaks

• Security‑conscious infrastructure operations – Dev Sec Ops  practices, system audits and access reviews, comfortable being accountable for GDPR‑relevant data handling

• Infrastructure as code at scale – Terraform as your default way of working, on an estate of comparable size

• Deep Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) – you can trace a slow system from the kernel up and explain what you found

• MySQL under real load – slow‑query analysis, replication, indexing, tested recovery

• Ownership of monitoring and incident response at scale – you have built the alerting that catches problems before customers report them, using tooling like New Relic, Datatog, etc. and run the on‑call and post‑incident process around it

• Experience defining standards that other engineers work to
  , whether with in‑house teams or external partners, and holding the line on them

• PHP‑FPM / Magento 2 performance tuning, or Varnish and Redis at scale

• Cloud cost optimisation at six‑figure annual spend

• AWS architecture certification

• Experience with SIEM tooling (e.g. Wazuh) or similar security monitoring

• Background in direct‑to‑consumer eCommerce or other high‑traffic system operations
