About the role

  • Design, deploy and operate containerized microservices and distributed systems in production Kubernetes environments.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable frequent, reliable releases and automated testing.
  • Implement and manage real‑time streaming data platforms (for example, Kafka or similar technologies) for low‑latency, high‑throughput workloads.
  • Design and operate infrastructure with a strong focus on reliability, performance and cost‑efficiency across cloud and on‑prem/hybrid environments.
  • Own infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform and Helm for repeatable, auditable environments.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot and optimize Linux‑based systems, containers and services, including performance tuning and incident response.
  • Collaborate with development teams to improve operability, observability and resilience of services (SRE mindset).
  • Document architectures, runbooks and operational procedures, and contribute to continuous improvement of processes and tooling.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering or similar roles.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with streaming technologies and real‑time data processing (for example, Apache Kafka, Kinesis, Pulsar or equivalent).
  • Solid background in distributed systems: microservices, event‑driven architectures, scalability and fault tolerance.
  • Strong understanding of hardware and infrastructure concepts (servers, networking, storage) and experience with on‑prem or hybrid environments.
  • Deep knowledge of Linux/Unix operating systems, system internals, performance and troubleshooting.
  • Extensive experience with cloud‑native technologies:
  • Containers and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE or similar)
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Helm (and/or similar tools)
  • CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD or equivalent
  • Observability: monitoring, logging and alerting (for example, ELK/EFK, Prometheus, Grafana).
  • Experience with at least one major cloud provider (Azure, AWS or GCP); Azure experience is a strong asset.
  • Good understanding of networking (VPN, IPsec, load balancing, DNS, certificates).
  • Experience with agile ways of working and tools such as JIRA and Git.
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting abilities across multiple layers (application, infrastructure, network).
  • Ability to understand users’ technical issues and provide clear, pragmatic recommendations.
  • Fluent in English (spoken and written).
