DevOps Engineer (Middle+/Senior)

Remote | Full-time | $3,000–4,000/month

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer (Middle+/Senior) to take ownership of the infrastructure behind multiple production environments.

This is a hands-on position with responsibility for production stability, deployments, servers, backups, infrastructure security, troubleshooting, and incident response.

Our infrastructure currently includes approximately 20 separate production broker environments plus core/database infrastructure.

We are looking for someone who can first learn the existing infrastructure and deployment processes and then gradually take full ownership of them.

Environment

Our current environment includes technologies and infrastructure such as:

• Linux / AlmaLinux
• Nginx
• Docker
• GitHub
• CI/CD
• Cloudflare
• Multiple production servers
• Central/core database infrastructure
• CRM applications
• Web-based trading platforms
• REST APIs
• WebSockets / real-time services
• Third-party data/API providers

The exact existing infrastructure will be reviewed during onboarding.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for the reliability and operation of production infrastructure.

This includes:

• Maintain approximately 20 production environments
• Maintain core/database infrastructure
• Provision new production servers from scratch
• Configure environments for new brands/sub-brands
• Deploy applications and infrastructure changes
• Maintain and improve CI/CD processes
• Manage application and infrastructure configuration
• Configure and maintain Nginx/reverse proxy infrastructure
• Work with Docker/containerized services
• Manage GitHub-related deployment infrastructure, access, keys, and secrets
• Maintain SSL certificates, domains, DNS, and Cloudflare-related infrastructure when required
• Perform server and application migrations
• Move environments between servers when required
• Maintain database infrastructure
• Manage database backups and restoration procedures
• Implement and verify automated backups
• Ensure that backups can actually be restored when needed
• Maintain disaster-recovery procedures
• Monitor server health, CPU, RAM, disk usage, services, and application availability
• Maintain and improve existing monitoring and alerts
• Troubleshoot production incidents
• Investigate infrastructure, network, API, service, and real-time data issues
• Investigate cases where external/internal APIs or data sources stop functioning correctly
• Work with external hosting and infrastructure providers when required
• Maintain infrastructure security
• Manage SSH access, permissions, firewall rules, secrets, and production access
• Perform safe production restarts and updates
• Maintain rollback procedures
• Minimize downtime during deployments and infrastructure changes
• Document servers, services, environments, domains, dependencies, deployment processes, backup procedures, and recovery procedures
• Work closely with Full-Stack Developers and QA

Production ownership

This position requires real ownership of production infrastructure.

We are not looking for someone who only executes predefined commands.

During the onboarding period, you will receive information about the existing environments and infrastructure.

As you become familiar with the system, we expect you to independently:

• Diagnose infrastructure problems
• Determine root causes
• Decide on appropriate technical actions
• Restore affected services
• Coordinate with developers when the issue is application-related
• Verify production health after changes
• Document important incidents and infrastructure changes
• Identify potential infrastructure risks before they become production incidents

Requirements

• 4+ years of commercial DevOps/System Engineering experience or equivalent strong hands-on experience
• Strong Linux administration skills
• Production experience with Linux-based environments
• Strong Nginx knowledge
• Docker experience
• CI/CD experience
• Git/GitHub experience
• Experience managing multiple production environments
• Experience provisioning production servers
• Experience with database infrastructure, backups, and recovery
• Understanding of networking, DNS, SSL/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, reverse proxies, and firewalls
• Experience troubleshooting production systems
• Experience with monitoring and alerting
• Understanding of infrastructure and application security
• Experience managing SSH access, secrets, permissions, and deployment credentials
• Ability to analyze logs and diagnose application/infrastructure failures
• Experience working with third-party infrastructure/API providers
• Ability to create clear infrastructure documentation
• Ability to work independently after onboarding
• English — Intermediate or higher

Experience with AlmaLinux/RHEL-compatible environments is a strong plus.

Experience with trading or FinTech infrastructure is not required.

Backup and recovery

We expect the DevOps Engineer to maintain a reliable backup and recovery process.

This means not only creating backups but also knowing:

• What is backed up
• How frequently backups are created
• Where they are stored
• How they can be restored
• How a failed production environment can be rebuilt
• How production can be recovered if a server becomes unavailable

Incident response

This is the only position in the team that includes responsibility for urgent production incidents outside standard working hours.

Production incidents outside working hours are not expected to be routine, but when a critical production service becomes unavailable, the DevOps Engineer must be reachable and able to respond.

We expect:

• Reliable availability during normal working hours
• Reasonable emergency availability outside working hours
• Fast acknowledgement of critical production incidents
• Ability to access and investigate production remotely when necessary
• Clear communication during an incident
• Notification to the team if you will be unavailable for a known period

The exact incident-response/on-call process will be agreed with the successful candidate.

First 1–3 months

We understand that the infrastructure contains multiple environments and cannot be fully learned in several days.

The initial period will focus on:

• Understanding existing infrastructure
• Mapping production environments
• Understanding deployments
• Understanding database and service dependencies
• Reviewing access and security
• Reviewing monitoring
• Reviewing backup processes
• Creating/updating infrastructure documentation
• Identifying infrastructure risks and areas for improvement

After the onboarding period, we expect you to be able to manage standard infrastructure operations and troubleshoot most production issues independently.

Working conditions

• Fully remote
• Full-time
• Monday–Friday
• Standard working hours: 09:00–18:00 GMT+3 / 10:00–19:00 GMT+4
• Emergency production availability outside working hours
• Probation/onboarding period: 1–3 months
• Compensation: $3,000–4,000/month, depending on experience and technical level
• Higher compensation may be considered for an exceptionally strong candidate with significant production ownership experience
• Long-term cooperation
• English: Intermediate or higher

What is important to us

Reliability and communication are critical for this role.

We expect the DevOps Engineer to:

• Be reachable during agreed working hours
• Respond to critical infrastructure incidents
• Notify the team about planned periods of unavailability
• Take ownership of production problems
• Investigate root causes rather than only restart services
• Communicate clearly with developers, QA, and the Project Manager
• Document important infrastructure knowledge
• Proactively identify risks
• Gradually reduce dependency on undocumented knowledge held by individual team members

Our goal is to build an infrastructure process where production knowledge, access, deployments, backups, and recovery procedures are documented and are not dependent on one person's memory.
