About the role
We’re seeking a proactive DevOps Lead to take ownership of the infrastructure and platform strategy behind one of the fastest-growing AI legal tech platforms in Europe.
This role focuses on scaling and professionalizing our infrastructure across cloud, CI/CD, Kubernetes, observability, and security as we continue to grow rapidly year over year.
Working closely with our product developers, Head of Engineering and Head of Data, you’ll operate as both a hands-on technical leader and people manager, driving infrastructure strategy while building and mentoring a growing DevOps team.
For someone who thrives in highly autonomous environments and enjoys combining technical depth with leadership, this is an opportunity to shape the future of infrastructure at JUPUS from the ground up.

You’ll lead initiatives across Kubernetes migration, CI/CD modernization, observability, infrastructure automation, and cloud scalability while coaching developers and helping establish operational best practices across the company.
Expect broad ownership, fast decision-making, and visible impact on how JUPUS scales its platform and engineering organization.
