AWS Cloud Engineer Job at Axel Springer SE (Berlin)

Job Description

As an AWS Cloud Platform Engineer, you build and evolve the foundation that enables our product teams to move fast, safely, and at scale. Our central application platform is the backbone for both high-traffic digital products like welt.de and bild.de, as well as business-critical internal systems across editorial, subscription, and commercial domains. Your work directly impacts how efficiently teams can develop, deploy, and operate software. You will shape a modern internal developer platform on AWS — focusing on scalability, reliability, and developer experience — while helping drive our journey towards platform engineering excellence.

Job Responsibility

Design, build, and continuously improve our internal developer platform on AWS using Terraform, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and developer experience
Automate infrastructure delivery through CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Spacelift) and expand self-service capabilities for product teams
Own and evolve core platform components so teams can build, deploy, and operate services more autonomously
Review pull requests, share knowledge, and help maintain high engineering standards across the platform
Evaluate and introduce new AWS services, tools, and cloud-native patterns where they add clear value
Strengthen the platform's security, compliance, and resilience through clear standards, guardrails, and robust platform design
Work closely with product teams to understand their needs, remove bottlenecks in developer workflows, and translate those needs into scalable platform solutions

Requirements

Strong hands-on experience operating critical large-scale AWS environments, with broad knowledge of AWS technologies across areas such as compute, storage, networking, backup and recovery, and cloud security best practices
Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CI/CD and automation practices, agile software delivery, and Platform Engineering concepts, ideally including the development of internal developer platforms
A strong sense of end-to-end ownership and the ability to reliably drive topics forward, even in complex environments
Clear and respectful communication skills, openness to feedback, and a collaborative mindset that supports knowledge sharing and continuous learning
A systems and product mindset with a strong focus on internal users and their needs
The ability to challenge existing solutions thoughtfully and make sound engineering trade-offs that balance quality, speed, and maintainability
Curiosity, forward-looking thinking, and a structured approach to discussions that helps drive continuous improvement
