AI-Native Cloud Infrastructure Generalist (m/f/d)

Shopware is a leading ecommerce system that enables companies worldwide to scale quickly and efficiently in digital commerce.  

In this role, you’ll be part of the Agentic Commerce Lab, a startup-like team within our scale-up, dedicated to exploring how agentic systems will shape commerce by 2030. We build new products, run fast experiments, and prove what is possible. 
Join us on the zero-to-one journey and shape the future of commerce as part of a strategic moonshot at Shopware. This is not a "wait for requirements" kind of role. You operate as an entrepreneur inside Shopware, acting like an owner. You will drive ideas from inception to production. 
This position can be filled on-site, hybrid, or full-remote within Germany or specific European countries where we are registered. Your work location will be agreed upon in advance and forms the basis of your employment contract. 

• Build what is next: You live in our customers' relative future. Push the edge of what is possible with the latest in AI, often without documentation or playbooks. 

• End-to-end ownership: responsibility for your bets from idea to production. 

• Ship fast: You can just ship things, both because you have the permission to and because you are comfortable iterating in public. 

• Enable developer velocity: Make it trivial for engineers to ship new AI features without infrastructure becoming a bottleneck. 

• Monitor the emerging stack: Track new infrastructure patterns for AI workloads and adopt what makes sense for us. 

• Build infrastructure for unknowns: Create systems flexible enough to support AI experiments we haven't imagined yet. 

• Own reliability and cost: Balance system uptime with infrastructure spend as usage scales unpredictably. 

   

None of these is a hard requirement. Most important is a desire to continuously learn and live on the bleeding edge of AI developments. At the frontier, the only constant is change, and we're looking for folks who want to thrive here.

• Bias to action: You prefer prototypes over decks, and experiments over endless discussions. 

• Self-starter DNA: You thrive in ambiguity and love figuring things out without a detailed map. 

• AI native: You default to 10x yourself with AI. You stay at the bleeding edge of emerging model capabilities and are excited about sharing what you’ve learned with others. 

• Vibe-code fluency: Hands-on experience with modern AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, v0, Lovable, etc.) and comfortable going from concept to clickable demo in a day. 

• Product mindset: You care about outcomes, not just outputs, and design with merchants, shoppers, and developers in mind. 

• Collaborative spirit: Open to learning from and co-building with peers inside and outside Shopware. 

• Full-stack infrastructure: Comfortable with IaC, Kubernetes, serverless, databases, networking, pipelines, observability; whatever the team needs, you figure it out. 

• Pragmatic perfectionism: You know when "good enough" ships and when reliability requires extra investment. 

• Cloud cost obsession: You treat cloud spend like your own money and find creative ways to optimize without sacrificing capability. 

• AI workload experience: Understanding of vector databases, model serving, inference optimization, and GPU provisioning. 

• Be part of a strategic moonshot at Shopware and shape what's next in commerce. 

• Access to dedicated AI budget, tools, and the freedom to move at startup speed. 

• Company Culture: Open culture with flat hierarchies, where individual initiative is encouraged. 

• Employment Contracts: Permanent positions that offer long-term security. 

• Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for m
