Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

About Avidity

Avidity is a specialized software development company with offices in Berlin, Stockholm, and Porto Alegre, Brazil. Since 2012, we have helped IT companies build and operate reliable software systems.

Our clients are primarily tech companies across industries such as edtech, digital signage, transportation and fintech. We support them with specialized expertise, join their teams to strengthen ongoing projects, or take full responsibility for delivering and operating complete systems.

Alongside software development, we design and operate the infrastructure that runs our clients’ applications. Avidity’s infrastructure engineers work closely with developers to build secure, scalable, and reliable environments for modern cloud-based applications.

The Role

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to help design, operate, and continuously improve the environments that run our applications and those of our clients.

In this role, you will work across the full lifecycle of our infrastructure: designing and implementing environments, maintaining and monitoring production systems, and improving developer workflows such as deployment and CI/CD pipelines. We work closely with development teams to ensure that applications run reliably, securely, and efficiently in production.

You will work with Linux-based systems and modern infrastructure tooling to build and operate containerized applications and cloud environments. You will help automate infrastructure, improve observability and operational processes, and ensure that our systems meet high standards of reliability and security.

You will have significant influence on how infrastructure is designed and operated for the systems you work on.

Key Project: Secure Financial Infrastructure

As part of this role, you will work on a platform developed for a client in the financial sector. The system is delivered as a complete service, where we are responsible for both the application and the infrastructure it runs on.

The platform operates in a highly regulated environment and must meet strict requirements for security and compliance with financial regulations. It also integrates with external authorities and oversight systems, which places additional demands on operational reliability and traceability.

You will contribute to the development and operation of the cloud infrastructure that supports the platform, helping ensure that it runs in a controlled and dependable environment suitable for critical financial services.

This project offers the opportunity to work with infrastructure where security and accountability are foundational design considerations rather than later additions. The platform is built for long-term stability and predictable operations in a context where systems must withstand both operational demands and external scrutiny.

What you’ll get to do

• Configure, administer, and automate Linux-based infrastructure
• Build and maintain automated deployment and integration pipelines
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve production systems
• Design and operate high-availability infrastructure, including failover between datacenters
• Implement infrastructure automation and configuration management
• Ensure strong security practices, including secrets management, access control, and secure system configuration
• Design and maintain backup and disaster recovery strategies
• Work closely with developers to diagnose and resolve issues in production environments

Core Technologies

• Kubernetes

• Docker
• Ansible
• Git
• CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins
• Nginx
• Let’s Encrypt
• PostgreSQL
• Microsoft SQL Server

To succeed in this role, we believe that you

• Have strong Linux knowledge and are comfortable operating production systems
• Have experience designing and operating infrastructure for modern applications
• Are familiar with container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes
• Have experience with OpenStack environments (a plus)
• Enjoy automating infrastructure and operational processes
• Have a strong awareness of security best practices in infrastructure and operations
• Are comfortable working with cloud platforms, regardless of provider
• Understand the importance of reliability, redundancy, and failover in production environments

Working at Avidity

At Avidity, you will work closely with developers and infrastructure specialists across our offices in Berlin, Stockholm, and Porto Alegre. We value collaboration, knowledge sharing, and taking ownership of the systems we build and operate.

We offer a flexible work environment that combines remote work with time at our Berlin office. Our engineers are used to working across locations and time zones, and we emphasize clear communication and trust.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with Avidity in Germany and contribute to building reliable infrastructure for long-term client projects. Many of our engagements are long-running, allowing us to take real ownership of the systems we design and operate.
