About the opportunity

We are seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Platform Engineering domain in the AI Platform team.

The mission of Platform Engineering is to provide trusted, performant, self-service platforms that empower product teams to build "the bank the world loves to use." The AI Platform team contributes to this mission by creating scalable, secure, and compliant infrastructure solutions that support MLOps and GenAI capabilities.

As one of the first banks completely hosted in the cloud, our security, resilience, and productivity standards require not only the use of a modern technology stack but also building teams in line with our principles, supporting our product teams, the company, and our customers.

In this role, you will:

• Contribute to the design and development of platform components that enable machine learning and generative AI use cases across the company
• Take ownership of reliable deployment, maintenance, monitoring, and incident response for our services
• Write high-quality, maintainable code and help ensure our platform solutions are well-documented and testable
• Work alongside more senior engineers to evolve our infrastructure and build secure, compliant and scalable solutions across cloud, networking, observability and CI/CD domains
• Collaborate with ML Engineers, SREs, and other Platform teams to ensure operability and maintainability of AI capabilities offered across the company
  Participate in code reviews, RFCs, documentation and product discovery, contributing to the team's design and decision-making processes
• Identify technical or knowledge gaps and proactively work to address them, either independently or with the team
• Help improve our engineering practices and team ways of working

What you need to be successful

Background and skills:

• Proven experience specifically in infrastructure and reliability engineering, including deployment automation, monitoring, incident management, and performance tuning
• Solid programming skills, ideally in Python, Go or TypeScript, and experience writing production-grade code
• Familiarity with cloud-native development and AWS infrastructure, including some experience with services like SageMaker, Bedrock, or other AI/ML-related services
• Experience with Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines (e.g. ArgoCD, GitHub Actions), Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g. Terraform), and containerization (Docker)
• Working knowledge of networking, security and compliance best practices in production environments
• Appreciation for good documentation, testing and observability

Nice to have:

• Exposure to MLOps practices or working with Data Science/Machine Learning teams
• Familiarity with prompt-based or LLM-driven GenAI workflows
• Interest or prior experience in building developer-facing platforms and reusable abstractions

Traits:

• You take pride in writing clean, reliable, and well-tested code
• You’re a proactive team player who communicates openly and supports others
• Comfortable working in a cross-functional environment, with a focus on practical impact
• Eager to learn from others and also share your knowledge with newer team members
• Excited by the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI platform capabilities while developing your expertise across a mix of SRE, ML, and platform domains

We're looking for someone who wants to grow their career in the AI infrastructure space, bringing battle-tested SRE practices to a cross-functional team while also learning from experienced engineers in Machine Learning, Backend, and Platform Engineering. You'll have the chance to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of the AI platform that’s at the heart of the company’s highest value bets, helping to build a foundation for reliable, scalable and democratized access to Machine Learning and GenAI capabilities across N26.

If you're motivated by ownership, curious about AI and infrastructure, and energized by working in a high-impact, collaborative team: we’d love to hear from you!
