DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer

We are hiring a DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer for a Canadian product startup building a high performance intelligence and security platform.

The company develops a real time threat intelligence and data fusion platform used in security, cyber defense, and critical infrastructure environments. The system is designed for high throughput data processing, operational analytics, and carrier grade reliability.

The platform is infrastructure heavy and performance critical, combining containerized services, high load databases, and on premise lab environments with automated deployment and monitoring. A large part of the work focuses on building stable deployment pipelines, observability tooling, and realistic lab setups that closely reflect production conditions.

In this role, you will own infrastructure automation, monitoring, and operational reliability, working closely with backend engineers and system architects on a complex distributed system.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain deployment automation for backend and frontend services using Docker and Ansible

• Containerize and operate a multi service stack including backend services, frontend, ClickHouse, and Redis

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools

• Implement monitoring, dashboards, and alerting using Prometheus and Grafana

• Manage ClickHouse operations including replication, partitioning, TTLs, and performance tuning

• Set up and maintain lab environments with physical servers, NICs, and traffic generators

• Troubleshoot networking and hardware issues in test and staging environments

• Collaborate with engineers to improve system reliability, scalability, and operational practices

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands on experience with Linux systems, including bare metal and containerized environments

• Strong production experience with Docker and Docker Compose

• Practical experience with Ansible or Terraform for infrastructure automation

• Solid knowledge of monitoring and observability stacks, including Prometheus and Grafana

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• Good understanding of networking fundamentals such as VLANs, routing, and traffic flows

• Ability to work independently in complex infrastructure environments

• Conversational English level sufficient for daily communication with an international team

Nice to have

• Experience with Kubernetes in production environments

• Background in carrier grade, ISP, or telecom infrastructure

• Hands on experience with high performance networking or DPDK based systems

• Hardware level troubleshooting experience

This is a long term opportunity to work on a technically complex platform in a growing Canadian startup, with real world impact and deep infrastructure challenges.
