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 DevOps 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.
Your role
-
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.
What you'll own
-
AWS infrastructure – EC2, RDS, Fargate, CloudFront, S3, IAM – plus Cloudflare, DNS and WAF
-
Security & compliance – DevSecOps 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
-
– Bitbucket Pipelines, environments, and how fast and safely code reaches production
