Tech Lead AI DevOps / Infrastructure

📋 Job Overview

For years, StackFuel has been one of Germany’s leading providers of data and AI training. Since early 2026, we have been part of Multiverse, Europe’s only EdTech unicorn and the continent’s largest AI upskilling platform. Together, we are pursuing a clear goal: to make 100,000 employees in Germany AI-ready and close the country’s data and AI skills gap. We’re at an exciting point right now: as a scale-up, we are migrating and consolidating our infrastructure from individual systems to a scalable cloud stack, while keeping everything running and without compromising on uptime or performance. To make this happen, we’re looking for a Tech Lead AI DevOps / Infrastructure (f/m/d) to take full ownership of our infrastructure: you’ll build it, scale it, and create the foundation our team can grow on. You’ll do this with a small DevOps team that you lead. In the long term, you and your team will ensure that our engineering teams can efficiently ship their products on secure, scalable infrastructure as part of an agentic SDLC.

• Establish clean processes for monitoring, uptime, backups and recovery, access management, security updates, and cost control, in areas that have grown organically and are still largely unstructured today
• Use AI deliberately in day-to-day DevOps work, from incident analysis to infrastructure code to runbooks, and consistently automate recurring operational tasks so a small team can achieve maximum impact
• Ensure that internal and external development is reliably supported by DevOps
• Prepare the team’s evolution toward platform engineering for our Berlin location

📌 Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, including initial lead responsibility (architecture, technical decisions, mentoring)

• Solid knowledge of infrastructure as code and container orchestration, e.g. with Terraform, Kubernetes, and Ansible
• Experience operating an enterprise stack with many components (data warehouses, applications, databases, logging, security audits, permission systems) and a strong sense for security, backups, and recovery
• Discipline in CI/CD, monitoring, and observability (e.g. GitHub Actions, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar)
• Experience operating in fast-growing environments and bringing structure and scalability to them
• Business-fluent German and English

🎁 Benefits

• A solution-oriented, data-driven way of working, an open feedback culture, and strong team spirit

• Room for exchange: Regular team exchanges, seasonal celebrations, and an always well-stocked kitchen make for a lively atmosphere
