About the role
- Own and drive infrastructure projects end-to-end — from breaking down the problem into subtasks, through implementation, to communicating results to stakeholders.
- We don't just "do tasks"; we solve problems and explain how and why.
- Evolve Kubernetes (with Argo) and cloud infrastructure — mostly GCP.
- Take part in cloud infrastructure unification.
- Develop and maintain Terraform configurations for scalable, reliable systems.
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
- Strengthen observability with OpenTelemetry and Datadog.
- Integrate and act on insights from AIkido and other security tools to detect and mitigate issues within workloads.
- Support and tune PostgreSQL and other managed databases used by our applications.
- Collaborate with engineering teams — proactively communicate progress, share context, and manage expectations.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues as part of our on-call rotation.
- Participate in internal and external security audits, ensuring our systems meet compliance and resilience standards.
- Drive SRE and GitOps principles — from post-mortems to automation and clear documentation.
Requirements
- Solid experience operating in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.
- Deep understanding of Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern CI/CD practices.
- Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus).
- You know your way around managing RDBMSs (we use Postgres)
- Comfort working in Ubuntu/Linux-based systems.
- AI as a daily tool — you actively use AI assistants and automation to move faster, solve problems, and reduce toil.
- You understand their strengths and limitations, and you're always looking for new ways to leverage them.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and a calm, collaborative approach to resolving production incidents.
- Self-management skills — you can break down ambiguous problems into concrete steps, prioritize your work, and drive projects forward without constant direction.
- Excellent async communication — you proactively share your thinking process, progress, and decisions in writing.
- You manage stakeholder expectations, make your work visible, and ensure others can pick up where you left off.
- Can-do attitude, curiosity, and craftsmanship spirit.
- Fluent Polish and intermediate or higher English.
- Nice to have Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Familiarity with cloud workload security tools (e.g., Aikido, GCP Security Command Center) and vulnerability management.
- Background in distributed systems or large-scale architecture.
- Previous experience as a backend developer (Elixir, Node.js, or similar).
