Job Description
Kiteworks helps organizations secure and govern sensitive content across their workflows, ensuring compliance and reducing risk.

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer who loves solving problems, building automation, and making things run smoothly. You’ll join a small, collaborative team where every day brings something new, whether it’s improving pipelines, modernizing infrastructure, or experimenting with new tools.

This isn’t a role where you sit in one lane. You’ll work closely with developers, QA, and security teams, unblock issues fast, and help us keep things moving. If you like variety, ownership, and the chance to make a real impact, you’ll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Automate workflows
  to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency across build, release, and infrastructure tasks.
• Manage cloud and container environments
  , primarily AWS along with Kubernetes and Docker, ensuring reliability and scalability.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines
  to support smooth, fast releases and continuous delivery.
• Collaborate with developers, QA, and security teams
  to troubleshoot issues and keep projects moving.
• Contribute to modernization initiatives
  , exploring new tools and approaches to improve our DevOps practices.
• Maintain secure cloud environments
  by enforcing access controls, monitoring, and configuration management aligned with ISO 27001 and data protection requirements.

What You'll Bring

• A few years of experience (2–5 years)
  in DevOps or software engineering, ideally in environments where automation and infrastructure as code are key.
• Solid programming skills
  – Python is strongly preferred because most of our codebase uses it. Experience with other languages (e.g., Go, Bash, or similar) is welcome.

– You should be comfortable writing scripts and building tools—not just using off-the-shelf solutions.

– Ability to structure code for maintainability and scalability (object-oriented principles are a plus).

• Comfort with Linux
  – You’ll work primarily in Linux environments, so strong command-line skills and troubleshooting ability are essential.
• Cloud platform experience
  – AWS is our main platform, but Azure or GCP experience is acceptable. You should understand concepts like EC2, networking, IAM, and storage.
• Familiarity with containers and CI/CD concepts
  – Experience with Docker and Kubernetes is important, as well as understanding how pipelines work (GitLab CI preferred).
• Mindset matters
  – Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn are key because we’re modernizing and evolving constantly

The Values That Define Us

• Execution – We deliver results with focus, ownership, and consistency. Our teams take initiative, solve challenges proactively, and continuously optimize how we work to create meaningful impact for our customers.
• Transparency – We communicate openly and clearly, ensuring stakeholders have the information they need to make informed decisions. We foster a culture of trust, welcome feedback, and embrace accountability in everything we do.
• Integrity – We uphold the highest standards of honesty and responsibility. Our teams act ethically, consistently honor commitments, and build trust through principled, reliable actions.

Job Benefits

Your Workplace:
hybrid – work 3 days in our modern office and 2 days remote!

Your Equipment:
Mac or Microsoft – you work with the IT equipment of your choice.

Your Health:
Stay healthy with our additional health insurance. Stay fit with our Multisport card, subsidized 100% by Kiteworks.

Your KITEWORKS:
On-site, stay hydrated, enjoy coffee, tea, snacks and the obligatory fruit basket twice a week. Have fun with our team events and parties. Shop with 200 BGN monthly in Food vouchers.

The Short Version

You own Google as a paid acquisition channel for Viktor. Search, Performance Max, YouTube, the full Google ad stack - strategy, keyword and audience structure, budget, performance. You've built this machine before, at scale. Now you build it again - with better tools, more budget discipline, and no legacy to work around.

What's Actually Going On Here

Viktor is an AI-native product growing fast. We're standing up paid acquisition as a serious discipline under the Head of Performance Marketing, and Google is one of the channels we believe in. You'll be the founding owner of it - end-to-end, no agency layer. You'll also manage the Google Specialist: you set the playbook and the bar, they run the account with you.

Day-1 operator. Day-180 architect of how Viktor runs Google, using AI tooling to compound your output.

What You'll Actually Do

• Own Google Ads end-to-end. Search campaign structure, keyword strategy, match-type discipline, negative keyword hygiene, PMax asset groups, YouTube where it earns its budget.
• Run landing page and conversion path experiments alongside the ad work. Quality Score and post-click conversion are part of your job.
• Set the experimentation cadence. Weekly tests with clear hypotheses, documented results, compounding learnings.
• Own measurement and attribution. Enhanced conversions, offline conversion import, conversion modeling.
• Build the keyword, audience, and asset library. The playbook compounds.
• Manage the Google Specialist. Set direction, review the work, level them up.
• Partner with the Head of Performance Marketing on budget and prioritization. Push back when Google isn't the right channel for a goal.
• Report weekly on spend, CAC, pipeline contribution. Numbers, not narrative.

The Bar

You'll be measured on pipeline and CAC from Google. Not on impression share, CTR, or campaign count. "I'd need a PPC specialist and a landing page team" is an instant no-hire. You're both.

How You'll Know It's Working

30 days: account audited, bad match types killed, conversion tracking clean, first experiments shipped. 90 days: Google is a predictable, scaling channel with a documented playbook and a hiring rubric for the next seat.

Who You Are

• 4-8 years running paid search, with deep Google Ads experience for B2B SaaS or AI. Pipeline-accountable.
• Direct media buyer at scale. You've worked directly on acquisition campaigns in the platform - not through an agency - with serious media spend ($1M+/month). You owned the spend and the outcome.
• Attribution fluency. GA4 and pixel implementation, enhanced and offline conversions, server-side event optimization.
• You think about the whole conversion path. Ad to landing page to signup to paying.
• Documented experimentation practice. You can show the cadence and the wins from a prior role.
• AI-native daily workflow. Claude and similar tools are core to how you work.
• You've leveled people up before. You can take a sharp 1-2 year operator and make them dangerous.
• You raise the bar. Your playbook becomes the house playbook.

Why This Role Is Different

• No agency layer. You own the account.
• The Head of Performance Marketing and the co-founders care about how Viktor grows. You'll have data; they'll have opinions. The good ideas win.
• The product makes the work easier. The right buyer converts when they land. Your job is making sure the right buyer lands.

Even Better If

• You've scaled paid search from zero at a Series A or B B2B SaaS.
• You've worked on AI or PLG products.
• You've owned landing page experimentation alongside the ad account.

How we work

Small team, high trust, low process. Decisions are made by owners, not committees. You will ship your first week. You will talk to users your first day.

We don't do alignment meetings or stakeholder syncs. We build things, see if they work, and iterate.

Why Viktor

We're one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. The product works. The market is pulling.

This is a rare window: everyone here owns something real. Not a task. A surface of the company that customers depend on.

That doesn't last forever. Right now, it's still true.

Compensation

Top-of-the-market salary and the kind of ownership that only exists at this stage.

The best work happens when you're in the room. Munich, New York, Dublin, and Warsaw. Remote for some roles.
