HeyJobs is on a mission to help everyone find the right job through data and technology. As part of our growing R&D organization, we're looking for a Working Student to join our Infrastructure Platform Engineering team.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with Infrastructure Platform engineers to improve and maintain the systems that power our applications.

We’re a highly AI-driven company, using the latest tools to boost platform quality, speed, and reliability. You’ll benefit from working with AI-powered workflows in areas like coding, QA, and monitoring - and learn from a team that leads by example and supports each other’s growth.

• Help maintain and improve our AWS-based infrastructure, working with Terraform and other Infrastructure-as-Code tooling

• Support monitoring and alerting efforts using tools like Datadog, CloudWatch, and Sentry

• Identify automation opportunities to reduce manual work and improve team efficiency

• Learn how to build secure and cost-effective infrastructure — and contribute to improving our cloud governance practices (IAM, cost management, security)

• Get hands-on experience with containerized deployments (Docker, ECS) and CI/CD systems (CircleCI)

• Grow into a future AWS and DevOps expert by learning from experienced engineers and contributing to real production systems

• Help foster a strong DevOps and Platform Engineering culture through documentation, knowledge sharing, and small coaching moments with peers.

🤝 What sets you up for success

• Active student enrollment at a German university in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

• Ideally you finish your studies in the 1st half of 2027 or latest in early 2028 and would be happy to convert to full-time afterwards if there is a mutual fit (we're looking for long-term collaboration and have a great track record of turning talented students into full-time engineers and growing them through the ranks)

• Passion for learning new technologies and building simple, effective solutions

• Proactive mindset and eagerness to grow - you pick things up quickly and enjoy solving problems

• Experience with cloud providers (preferably AWS)

• Confident understanding of Linux/Unix systems

• Strong communication skills in English

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation - even better if you've used them in personal or academic projects
