Founding DevOps / FinOps to $4750

Founding Backend Engineer
 

This is the beating heart of wring.co. If this seat is empty:

• We can’t ship product at the speed early customers expect.
• There is no technical owner to set the bar for code quality, reliability, and velocity.
• We won’t have the foundation of a culture that values both rigorous engineering and pragmatic execution.
   

This role is the difference between a promising idea and a real business.
 

The Kind of Person We’re Not Looking For

Let’s be direct - if you:

• Only feel comfortable with slow-moving, highly resourced teams.
• Shy away from ownership of uptime and cloud costs.
• Prefer ticket-taking over proactive problem-solving.
• Clock in at 9 and out at 5 without caring about the mission.
   

This isn’t going to be a fit. We want someone who:

• Thinks end-to-end about infrastructure and business impact.
• Moves quickly and optimizes for learning.
• Has a startup mindset: bias for action, curiosity, urgency
   

Core Responsibilities

• Design and implement cost-visibility tools.
• Help customers and the team understand and optimize spend.
• Build and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.
• Automate deployments, monitoring, and recovery.
• Rightsize any instances
• Identify idle instances

Our Stack (So Far)

• React (TypeScript) & Node.js (NestJS)
• PostgreSQL
• AWS [& soon GKE]
   

This is not set in stone. You’ll have the mandate to evolve it.
 

Location & Flexibility

• We are based in South Germany.
• Hybrid or remote-friendly within CET ±3 hours.

Why Join Now?

• We’re seeing strong demand from 40+ customers
• Cloud cost optimization is a $10B+ problem waiting for better tools.
• You will shape both product and culture from day one.
   

What We Value

• Candor over politics.
• Bias for action over endless planning.
• Ownership over excuses.
   

Application Process

• We keep it simple:
  • Intro conversation.
  • Technical deep dive.
  • Paid trial project (optional) to ensure mutual fit.
