Requirements

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years as a DevOps Engineer / SRE (or very close responsibilities).
  • Track record of owning technical initiatives end-to-end - from requirements and technical design through production delivery. You can showcase initiatives that were yours, not just tasks you completed.
  • Confident Linux skills (we use Ubuntu).
  • Working knowledge of the Prometheus stack: metric types, exporters, and how alerting works - enough to navigate and extend an existing setup.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD: pipeline design, build orchestration, artifact delivery.
  • Containers: Docker, image building, registries.
  • Ansible.
  • Git.
  • Experience with Bash or Python scripting for automation and observability (writing exporters, eliminating routine work).
  • Production/on-call experience: diagnosing incidents, restoring service, leading post-mortems.
  • Experience mentoring less experienced engineers.
  • Ownership and attention to detail. Downtime is expensive: during busy events 10 minutes of downtime can cost us around $500k.

We understand it's impossible to be an expert in everything, but it's important to have solid hands-on experience in two or more of the areas below:

  • VictoriaMetrics / Prometheus stack at scale: architecture, cardinality control, exporters, alerting infrastructure.
  • Log pipelines at scale: Graylog / VictoriaLogs / ELK - collection (fluent bit or similar), retention, sharding, performance.
  • Jenkins scripted pipelines: shared libraries, pipeline infrastructure, build agent fleets.
  • Container registries and artifact management: Harbor, Nexus, base images, image policies.
  • Operating applications on Kubernetes: Helm, workload monitoring and log delivery, deploy troubleshooting.
  • Grafana: dashboards as code, alerting, performance at scale.

Nice to have

Great if you've worked with any of the following:

  • Analytics & DS platforms: JupyterHub, Airflow, Tableau, MLflow, Airbyte - deployment, maintenance, resource limits. Building platform around these tools to improve Quality of Life for Analytics.
  • Remote development environments and AI agent execution environments. E.g. Coder/Telepresence.
  • Bare-metal Kubernetes: provisioning, networking, scaling.
  • Flux and GitOps.
  • Terraform.
  • Sentry on-premise: operating self-hosted error tracking.
  • ClickHouse, MongoDB.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

  • Want an area that's truly yours, and the accountability that comes with it.
  • Commit to your own estimates, and flag early when something is slipping instead of hoping it won't.
  • Ask for help at 2 a.m. rather than quietly going down the rabbit hole alone.
  • Explain a complex incident in two minutes, not twenty.
  • Disagree openly, make your case with data, then commit and move.
  • Treat every manual step as a bug waiting to be automated.
  • Get more satisfaction from making other engineers self-sufficient than from being the only one who knows how it works.
  • Enjoy a fast-moving team that's rebuilding how it works around AI, and stay curious as the tools change.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • The compensation range for this role is: €5,800 - €6,600 gross per month.
  • Final compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, skills, qualifications, and alignment with the role's requirements.
  • Private medical insurance for the employee and their family
  • 23 paid vacation days per year
  • 11 paid public holidays per year
  • 5 company-paid sick leave days
  • English learning courses
  • Relevant professional education
  • Gym or swimming pool
  • Home Office Setup Assistance: the company offers assistance with purchasing furniture (office chair, office desk, monitor) and other items to create a comfortable workspace
  • Co-working
  • Remote working

The role

On a busy giving day, ten minutes of downtime can cost around $500k - we need the engineer who makes sure it doesn't happen.

You'll join the DevOps team that owns the platforms every engineering team relies on daily: CI/CD, observability, logging and developer tooling. This is a senior-only role. We'll hand you an entire area - observability or CI/CD - and trust you to run it, from requirements and design through rollout, operations and mentoring others. You'll be the go-to technical reference for that area and the senior escalation point when things get hard.

What you'll do

  • Own one of our core platform areas end-to-end: observability (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Graylog / VictoriaLogs, fluent bit, exporters, alerting) or CI/CD (Jenkins scripted pipelines, Harbor, Nexus, build agents) - you drive its architecture, reliability, and roadmap.
  • Drive technical initiatives end-to-end: gather requirements, write the design doc, decompose into tasks, implement, deliver to production, and own the operational health afterwards.
  • Drive clarity in ambiguous situations by defining requirements, assumptions, and next steps.
  • Design for reliability and scale: evolve the architecture of our platforms - topology, integration points, scaling approach, and reliability model.
  • Support developers: deploy and monitor applications on both on-premise servers and Kubernetes (Helm), troubleshoot builds and deploys, help teams with metrics, alerts, and logs; participate in chat duty in developer support channels.
  • Automate away toil: repetitive operations, provisioning, and maintenance should be codified, not performed by hand.
  • Investigate production incidents as the senior escalation point for your area: drive resolution, lead post-mortems, implement systemic fixes. Participate in on-call rotations and raise the bar for how on-call works.
  • Mentor less experienced engineers through design discussions, reviews, and pairing; catch debt-inducing shortcuts at the review stage.
  • Use AI in all aspects of day-to-day work: researching, troubleshooting, developing.
