Founding DevOps Engineer

Founding DevOps / Platform Engineer

Compensation: €50,000 - €60,000 + Equity

Bologna, Italy. Full-time

Who we are

Liablix is an innovative startup transforming how road accidents are reconstructed and analyzed. Today, claims management is slow, opaque, and prone to fraud. We want to make it precise, fast, and automated; powered by AI.

We work at the intersection of computer vision, 3D reconstruction, and generative models to analyze vehicle damages, crash dynamics, and liability. It's a massive market, and we're convinced that the next insurtech unicorn will be born here.

We're VC-backed by top international funds that strongly believe in our vision and support our rapid growth.

Our platform runs heavy 3D reconstruction and deep learning workloads on sensitive insurance data. We're looking for a Founding DevOps / Platform Engineer to build the infrastructure that makes this fast, secure, and scalable, and to own it as the company grows 10x.

What you'll do

• Design and own our cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), from networking to GPU clusters for training and inference.

• Build CI/CD pipelines for backend, mobile, and ML workloads, so we can ship to production in minutes.

• Stand up MLOps foundations: experiment tracking, model registry, automated deployment and monitoring of CV models.

• Implement observability, incident response, and cost optimization. GPU bills are real money at our stage.

• Own security and compliance (GDPR, insurance-grade data handling): secrets, access control, audit trails.

• Be the technical partner of every engineer on the team and automate away their repetitive work.

What we're looking for

• 4+ years in DevOps/SRE/platform roles, ideally in fast-growing product companies.

• Strong experience with Kubernetes, Terraform (IaC), and at least one major cloud (AWS or GCP).

• Experience running GPU/ML workloads in production is a strong plus.

• Solid grasp of security fundamentals and handling sensitive data.

• Automation obsession: if you did it twice by hand, you script it the third time.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: you treat infrastructure as a product.

• Being a genius is a strong plus.

What we offer

• A pivotal role: you'll be among the first 10 team members and shape both the technology and culture of Liablix.

• Competitive salary (RAL): €50,000 - €60,000 annually.

• Equity: meaningful stake (indicatively 0.3% - 0.5%) in stock options with standard 4-year vesting (1-year cliff). Under the Italian innovative-startup regime, options are exempt from income tax and you only pay capital gains when you sell.

• Salary growth built in: compensation is reviewed at the next funding round and upon hitting company milestones, plus a performance bonus.

• Standard benefits: private health insurance, training and conference budget, flexibility on remote days (HQ in Bologna), periodic team retreats, personal financial advisor.

• Accelerated growth: your name will be tied to one of the most ambitious AI startups in Europe.

Culture Fit

We’re a fit if:

• You're an A-player who wants to work with other A-players.

• You take ownership and thrive in fast-moving environments.

• You want to build something big and put all of yourself into it.

We’re not a fit if:

• You prefer predictable corporate roles with predefined tasks.

• You're not ready to commit 100% to an early-stage journey.

• You're only interested in maintaining systems, not designing them from scratch.

Why join us

Tired of filing tickets to touch production? Here you'll design the platform of an AI company starting from a blank Terraform file, and it will be yours.

We're not looking for “employees.” We're looking for co-creators of Liablix's future.

You didn't buy Bitcoin in 2009, but you joined Liablix in 2026. Everyone says they want to join a unicorn early. Few actually do.
