About the Role

Our DevOps Engineers are responsible for maintaining the robustness and reliability of our system to operate and scale to potentially millions of users. This is not a traditional role – more of a fusion between classic DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering.

• Improve company engineering tools, procedures, and data security.

What We Look For

• Must have strong knowledge of network fundamentals (TCP/IP and Internet routing).

• Strong proficiency in Linux system administration with in-depth knowledge of container technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.

• Problem-solving mindset.

• Experience in setting up automation pipelines (CI/CD, Github Actions, Jenkins) and configuration management/IaC.

• Comfortable working with cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Must learn quickly and adapt to new principles and ideas.
