## Job description

Mission

Founded in 2024 by Lukas Zörner and Anil Can Baykal, Integral set out to redefine how accounting, taxation and payroll works for SMEs in Europe, starting with Germany. The company is backed by General Catalyst, Cherry Ventures, Puzzle Ventures and entrepreneurs across Europe.

As Senior DevOps Engineer, you will help us build trustworthy product experiences that solve real customer problems on payroll, tax and accounting. Own outcomes, not just output, balancing speed and craftsmanship to deliver value that compounds using state-of-the-art tools and methodologies.

## What you'll do

- Design, build and maintain our cloud infrastructure with a focus on reliability, scalability and security
- Own our CI/CD pipelines end-to-end — from design to rollout and continuous improvement
- Drive infrastructure-as-code practices across the engineering team
- Collaborate closely with product and AI engineers to enable fast, safe and frequent deployments
- Monitor system performance, lead incident response and run post-mortems to keep raising the bar
- Instrument infrastructure with observability tooling — logs, metrics, traces — and act on what you see
- Ensure security and compliance standards are met across all environments
- Balance short-term delivery with long-term architectural investments
- Drive simplicity: reduce complexity for developers and keep systems easy to reason about
- High ownership: you'll have a real say in how we build and scale our infrastructure
- Your decisions directly impact the reliability and performance of a platform used by thousands of SMEs across Europe
- Tight feedback loops with engineers, founders and stakeholders
- Pragmatic pace: ship, learn, iterate

Core responsibilities

## Experience & Mindset

- 5+ years in DevOps, SRE or Cloud Infrastructure roles, ideally at a startup or high-growth company
- Proven track record of owning infrastructure end-to-end and driving measurable impact
- Comfortable with ambiguity: you take initiative, manage your own time, and leave systems and teams better than you found them
- You turn complexity into simplicity, make good decisions reversible, and build plans others can follow
- Comfortable leveraging AI coding tools such as Cursor, Copilot or Claude — and able to audit and validate AI-generated code
- Experience in fast-scaling environments is a strong plus
- German language skills are a strong plus

Technical Skills

- Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP preferred)
- Containerisation and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes
- CI/CD tooling: GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD or similar
- Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform, Pulumi or equivalent
- Observability: logs, metrics, traces; familiarity with SLOs and incident response
- Security basics: authN/authZ, secrets management, threat modelling, secure coding practices
- Familiarity with Python is a strong plus, our engineers work heavily with Python and Claude

The process

1. Intro Call with our Talent Team
2. Deep dive Interview with our CTO & co-founder
3. On-site Coding Interview at our Berlin office with the engineering team
4. Founder Conversation with our CEO & co-founder

Our offer

- Above-market salary
- Direct line to the Founders: no filter, no queue, no committee
- Total autonomy on what you build; we measure hours saved
- The best tools, no questions asked: Claude Max, Cursor, OpenAI, whatever ships next week
- Internal tools and resources purpose-built to support agentic AI development at scale, read about how we work at engineering.integral.de http://engineering.integral.de
- 28 vacation days per year, plus half-days on December 24 and 31
- Urban Sports Club membership, coupons (Sachbezüge) to over 200 partners or Deutschlandticket, your choice
- Best equipment for you to succeed
- Company pension scheme (bAV)
- Modern office in the heart of Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, right next to Mauerpark
- Weekly team lunches on us, office BBQs, and a dinner budget for late nights after 8pm
- A team of 50+ (and growing!) ambitious, diverse people, 20%+ ex-founders learning and building together

We value diversity and hire people based on their abilities and capabilities to succeed in this role. We welcome people of every background, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability status, political belief or marital status.

## Core Business

## Products & Services
- **Integral Platform (SaaS)**: Cloud-based dashboard that integrates with 100+ German business banks, payment providers (e.g., Stripe), and other tools. Handles bookkeeping (weekly posting, monthly BWA), payroll (digital employee management, compliance), and tax filings (annual financial statements, tax returns) in one place. Automates transaction import and document management.
- **Human advisory layer**: Each customer gets a personal tax advisor and payroll accountant available within 24 hours. The technical platform is operated by Integral Services GmbH; reserved tasks (e.g., audits) are performed by Integral Tax GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft.

- **Valuation / Market cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key metric**: Total funding – €6.3M pre-seed (Feb 2025) + undisclosed additional growth capital (Nov 2025)

## Competitive Advantages
