What is a PKI engineer?

A PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining encryption and authentication systems that secure digital communications. They work with cryptographic protocols, certificate authorities (CAs), and key management systems to ensure data integrity and security. PKI Engineers typically manage digital certificates, troubleshoot security vulnerabilities, and enforce compliance with security policies. Their role is critical in industries that require strong authentication and secure communications, such as finance, healthcare, and government.

What are some common challenges faced by PKI engineers in their daily work?

PKI Engineers often encounter challenges such as managing large-scale certificate lifecycles, ensuring compatibility across diverse IT environments, and staying up-to-date with the latest security standards and vulnerabilities. Balancing the need for robust security with organizational usability and troubleshooting complex encryption issues can also be demanding. Successful PKI Engineers stay proactive in monitoring for certificate expirations, automate processes where possible, and work closely with IT, security, and compliance teams to maintain a secure and seamless infrastructure. Being adaptable and detail-oriented helps in quickly identifying and resolving issues before they escalate.

Job description

Your mission

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to take full ownership of our technology and lead a small, senior engineering team. You set the technical direction, keep the quality bar high, and make sure we keep shipping, as a close sparring partner to our founders and product leadership. You lead the team day to day and still roll up your sleeves when a problem needs your hands on it.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead a small, highly experienced engineering team (5 people): set clear priorities, delegate real ownership, and keep people growing through 1:1s, code-review guidance, and technical sparring.
  • Own engineering quality: reliable standards, architectural reviews, production readiness, and the final gate before release.
  • Act as technical sparring partner for founders, product, and design, and drive delivery end-to-end: from solution design to production, in short cycles, including advancing our SaaS onboarding.
  • Oversee the architecture across distributed systems, APIs, desktop applications, our AWS infrastructure and internal DevOps platform, and a multi-repository codebase with solid infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and observability behind it.
  • Own security and compliance in practice: ISO continuity, least-privilege access, secrets management, PKI, and supply-chain security, including recurring audits and technical due diligence.
  • Push our production AI support agent further: more automated ticket resolution, production-grade RAG, tool calling, evaluations, guardrails, and monitoring.

Your profile
  • 10+ years in software engineering, with proven experience leading and developing a small, senior team.
  • You’ve grown up in early-stage startups (seed to Series B) and know that stage, a purely corporate or enterprise background wouldn’t be the right fit here.
  • Deep expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, and React, solid with Python and PostgreSQL, and confident across APIs, distributed systems, production debugging, and multi-repo setups.
  • Advanced AWS knowledge and real ownership of cloud-native production: infrastructure as code, GitOps, CI/CD, observability, plus a practical security mindset and calm judgement during incidents.
  • Production experience with AI agents:RAG, tool calling, workflow automation, evaluations, guardrails, monitoring, approached as software engineering, not model training or ML research.
  • Product-minded and pragmatic: business-focused judgement, no overengineering, and a high shipping cadence. Fluent in English (C1); German is a plus.

Nice to have
  • Desktop applications: Electron, native macOS and Windows apps, gRPC, mTLS, secure storage, code signing, automated updates, and staged rollouts.
  • Direct involvement in ISO certification, recurring audits, and technical due diligence.

Why us?
  • High impact and real ownership from day one: no bureaucracy, no endless approval loops.
  • A small, ambitious team in Berlin and Munich, backed by top European VCs including Atomico and Cherry Ventures.
  • Competitive salary + virtual share package (VSOP).
  • Benefits: public transport ticket or Urban Sports Club/EGYM, Corporate Benefits.
  • Well-equipped offices in Berlin and Munich.

We are looking forward to receiving your application!
Your deeploi Team
