# Senior Ops Engineer (AI-native) – Nopex PlatformKarlsruhe (on-site)Full-time€5,800 – €6,500 gross/monthPosted November 1, 2026Apply now## About the roleNopex is an AI-agent-native platform for software delivery: teams of specialised AI agents plan, build, test, deploy, and operate software for our customers. For that to work, the platform behind it has to run around the clock.As a Senior Ops Engineer, you own that. You decide how we run, monitor, and roll out, help build our on-call rotation, and you're the one who keeps the overview during a major incident. Lots of ops, a bit of development – and enough experience to fix problems before they wake anyone up at night.AI-native means you work with AI agents every day. They analyse incidents, propose root causes and fixes, and handle the legwork – you review, decide, and sign off. And you help shape how agents take on even more of the operational work.## Your responsibilities* Own the reliability, security, and performance of the Nopex platform – for our own systems and our customers' workloads* Build and share on-call: rotation, escalation, runbooks – and lead the response to major incidents* Run postmortems and make sure root causes actually get fixed* Evolve our operations architecture: deployments, backups, disaster recovery, monitoring, and alerting* Shape releases and database migrations so they are safe and reversible* Plan cost and capacity and prepare infrastructure decisions* Automate where it hurts: scripts, pipelines, small tools, and targeted fixes in the code* Push AI agents forward in operations: runbooks for agents, agent-assisted incident analysis, clear limits on what agents may do alone* Onboard and mentor colleagues on the ops team## What you bring* 5+ years running production systems – as an ops, SRE, DevOps, or platform engineer* You have carried on-call for a production system and led incidents* Deep experience with containers and container orchestration in production* Confident in Linux, networking (DNS, TLS, load balancers), and security fundamentals* Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and running databases (backups, restores, migrations)* Enough of a developer to write scripts and make fixes in a TypeScript codebase* You already use AI agents in your ops work – and know where not to trust them blindly* Good German and English## Nice to have* Experience with several cloud providers or a move between providers* Observability in depth: metrics, logs, traces, meaningful SLOs* Experience with LLM APIs or agent systems* Experience building an ops team or an on-call rotation from scratch## What we offer* Real ownership: you shape how an AI-native platform is run* AI agents as colleagues: they handle analysis and legwork, you make the calls* Small senior team – few meetings, lots of room to shape things, decisions in days* On-call with a clear rotation and compensation* Karlsruhe office – on-site, with the option of home office on some days* Espresso machine and soft drinks at the office* 30 days vacation, top equipment* Conferences & events – we want you connected### Interested?Send us your CV and a short note.
