Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

Our product is a real estate analytics and listing platform serving users across Israel. It aggregates property listings, neighborhood data and investment insights into a unified service. The platform handles high volumes of traffic, thousands of listing updates and millions of user interactions each month. Our infrastructure supports complex data processing pipelines and search functionality, ensuring users can discover properties and market trends in real time. 

About the Role:

As Principal DevOps Engineer, you will own and evolve the cloud infrastructure that powers the platform. You will work closely with R&D teams, lead efforts to enhance scalability, security and cost efficiency, and shape the operational practices across all services. 

This role offers full ownership of end-to-end delivery: from infrastructure as code through CI/CD, to production monitoring and incident response. You will define standards, drive technical decisions, and have a direct impact on the resilience and developer experience of a critical, high-traffic property portal.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for the platform, ensuring smooth deployment cycles.
• Manage and optimize production EKS clusters, including autoscaling policies and cost-aware provisioning.
• Design, implement and maintain Terraform modules and state management for a fully automated environment.
• Develop monitoring and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana and HashiCorp Vault to ensure observability and security.
• Collaborate with R&D and AI departments to troubleshoot blockers and improve developer productivity.
• Lead on-call rotations, respond to production incidents and conduct root cause analyses.
• Continuously monitor and optimize AWS resource utilization to control costs and maintain performance.

Required Competence and Skills:

• At least 8 years of hands-on experience with AWS services (EKS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3) in production environments.
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes and containerization (Docker, Helm, Skaffold, NGINX Ingress).
• Proficiency with infrastructure as code using Terraform, including module development and remote state management.
• Strong experience in CI/CD pipelines using GitHub or CircleCI.
• Experience operating data services such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and Elasticsearch at scale.
• Skilled in setting up observability and secrets management with Prometheus, Grafana and Vault.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills in complex distributed systems and Linux networking.
• Proven track record of optimizing cloud costs and enforcing security best practices.
• Service-oriented communicator with a “can-do” approach to supporting engineering teams.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with AWS Lambda, CloudFront and Route 53.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes autoscaling tools such as Karpenter.
