Einleitung Munich | Hybrid | Product based companyAt Impower, we are shaping the future of property management — simple, fast, and digital. More than 100,000 people manage over 12 million apartments using processes that are still manual, complex, and time-consuming. We help property managers modernize these workflows step by step with reliable software, scalable systems, and real practical value.As our platform continues to grow, reliability, scalability, security, and developer enablement become increasingly critical. We are building an AI-driven ERP platform that combines modern cloud infrastructure, workflow automation, and intelligent services to support complex operational processes at scale.As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer, you will take ownership of the reliability and operational foundations of our platform. You will work across Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and security to ensure that our systems remain scalable, resilient, and secure as we grow.
