Full-Time | Remote-First (US-Based) | W-2 Employment
Base Salary: $100,000 - $120,000
On-Target Earnings: $130,000 - $155,000+ (base + revenue share)
Why Auralis?
We're a fast-growing IT consulting firm expanding from Germany to the US. We bring German engineering standards – precision, reliability, no-bullshit – to enterprise cloud infrastructure.
Unlike big consultancies, we believe in ownership. You won't be a ticket-pusher. You'll own problems end-to-end, from architecture design to production deployment. And unlike traditional consulting, you'll see what clients pay and share in the revenue you generate.
What makes us different:
- Revenue Share
- You see the bill rate. You earn a percentage of what you generate. Quarterly payouts.
- Remote-first
- Work from anywhere in the US. No return-to-office bait-and-switch.
- No LeetCode interviews
- We care about real-world experience, not whiteboard algorithms.
- Real career path
- Engineer → Senior → Tech Lead → Principal. We're building the US team now - leadership roles will open.
- Early-stage opportunity
- Join our US team from day one. Shape the culture, grow with us.
Tasks
What You'll Own
You'll work directly with enterprise clients on meaningful infrastructure challenges – not busywork.
- Design and implement cloud infrastructure at scale (10k+ requests/second)
- Build CI/CD pipelines that teams actually want to use
- Make architecture decisions and live with the consequences (the good kind of ownership)
- Collaborate directly with client engineering teams
- Mentor others as we grow the US team
Requirements
What We're Looking For
- 6+ years hands-on DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure experience

- Infrastructure as Code expertise (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi)
- Container orchestration in production (Kubernetes, ECS, or similar)
- Strong coding skills in Python, Go, or similar
- Comfortable communicating directly with clients (no hiding behind tickets)
Nice to Have:
- GitOps experience (ArgoCD, Flux)
- Familiarity with TerraSync Rapid or similar state management tools
- Security/compliance background (SOC 2, HIPAA)
