(Junior) IT & Platform Operations Engineer (m/f/x)

Our Mission

At Circus, headquartered in Munich, we are pioneering global developments in on-demand autonomous food production. Everything from creation to production and operation – enabled by seamlessly integrated cutting-edge robotics and transformative AI technology.

Our foundation rests in the extensive developments of groundbreaking robotics driven by artificial intelligence, previously the missing link in achieving true autonomous food automation. This is the moment for a new status quo: Just as autonomous driving will disrupt how we build cities, organize our days, and live our lives, so will we shift our whole reality around food.

Our Team is backing a paradigm shift in one of humanity’s most important sectors with the sharpest minds in Robotics, AI, Engineering and Culinary, collaborating closely with industry-leading partners to revolutionize every aspect of the food service experience.

Join us as we forge ahead, crafting a future where the art of cooking and the science of technology converge to create a world that thinks differently about food than it has for thousands of years—a world where food means something new.

About the Role

As we scale deployments of our robotic units internationally, every unit needs to be connected, secure and running from day one, wherever it operates.Â
You’ll own the IT side of these deployments: preparing devices, configuring networks, and working with providers and vendors to get units live and keep them running.Â

Alongside that, you’ll run IT operations for our teams in Munich, Berlin and Hamburg and help keep us ISO 27001 audit-ready. You’ll set priorities, make decisions and shape how our deployment and IT operations scale, with a clear path into cloud and infrastructure work.
