Job description

  • You are part of our dedicated Platform team, building and operating the foundation that every product team at casavi builds on.
  • With the team, you own and evolve our platform: from core product features every team builds on, like Auth, I18n, Feature Flags, and so on, to infrastructure, with our AWS setup, Kubernetes clusters, GitOps workflows, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), working with Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, and GitLab CI/CD, while monitoring system health with Prometheus & Grafana.
  • Your main personal focus is Application Security: making sure our product stays robust and reliable in the face of modern growing security threats, via comprehensive automated quality gates, regular security testing being done as a practice, strong security standards embedded in the SDLC of our teams, and appropriate instrumentation of the AI Coding Assistant tooling our team is using.
  • You also bake security into our infrastructure, implementing automated vulnerability scanning, secure secrets management, and Policy-as-Code guardrails so that shipping securely is always the path of least resistance.
  • You harden our cloud environments, ensuring robust IAM configurations, network policies, and foundational security baselines are continuously enforced.
  • You collaborate closely with fellow engineers across the Platform team and with product teams, bringing your ideas to make our platform more reliable, scalable, and easy to build on.

Requirements

  • You have several years of experience working with TypeScript (our tech stack includes Node.js, REST API, MySQL, MongoDB, Nest.js, React) and, ideally, also Python (our Python stack: Flask, FastAPI, MongoDB).
  • You care about Application Security deeply and have a proven track record of establishing secure SDLC in software engineering teams.
  • You have proven hands-on experience running production Kubernetes clusters and managing cloud infrastructure. You know AWS, Terraform, Helm, GitOps (ideally ArgoCD), and CI/CD pipelines (ideally GitLab CI).
  • You understand cloud-native security principles and have experience securing pipelines, container images, and infrastructure (e.g., using AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, Trivy, Snyk, or similar tooling).
  • You are a power user of AI-based tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, etc.), and you know how to use them to build lightweight internal tooling and automation safely and responsibly.
  • You'd rather script and orchestrate an agentic workflow than stand up a heavyweight developer portal.
  • You have excellent analytical & problem-solving skills and enjoy owning problems end-to-end, from root cause to fix.
  • Ideally, you have strong experience with observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana) and monitoring production systems.
  • You are a strong communicator, and your English is at a very good level (>C1).
  • You live in Germany.

  • An open-minded and friendly team working with agile methods - as proven by our Kununu Score of 4,6

  • 40 days of workation per year in the EU
  • Company events & sports offers
