About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Split your time 50/50 between keeping the lights on (maintenance/support) and active development (improving automation and tooling).
Contribute to major roadmap projects, such as the migration of our infrastructure stack to a different AWS region to improve cost and availability.
Participate in our "Sheriff" rotation (approx. 1 week per month during standard office hours), acting as the primary point of contact for infrastructure ad-hoc support to prevent interruptions for the rest of the team.
Investigate logs, debug crashing pods, and troubleshoot complex distributed system issues using observability tools - going deeper than just deploying charts.
Use modern AI tools (ClaudeCode, Cursor) to automate toil and speed up workflows, maintaining a realistic balance between using new tech and relying on proven engineering principles.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Hands-on production experience with Terraform (or Pulumi/CloudFormation), managing version-controlled, modular infrastructure through an infrastructure-as-code–first approach.
Ability to spin up pods, debug broken deployments, and manage resources via YAML.
Strong understanding of web application fundamentals (HTTP/S, SSL, GET/POST) to troubleshoot connectivity issues between services effectively.
A programmatic mindset. Whether it’s Python, Go, or Bash, you write code to fix problems rather than fixing them manually every time.
An open but skeptical attitude toward AI. You are willing to use LLMs to be more efficient, but you verify the output and don't use them as a crutch.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Additional vacation days for better work-life balance.
Modern office in Warsaw’s Powiśle district with Vistula River views, recreational facilities, and great nearby restaurants.
Thoughtfully designed private medical package to take care of what matters most.
Sports card to fuel your active lifestyle.
Life and accident insurance for peace of mind.
