We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to take ownership of production infrastructure, cloud environments, Kubernetes platforms, and infrastructure automation. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges and is comfortable being responsible for systems in production.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and operate production infrastructure, including participating in an on-call rotation and responding to production incidents.
- Design, operate, and continuously improve Kubernetes clusters in production.
- Manage and automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, primarily with Terraform.
- Build, maintain, and optimise cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Work extensively with Linux, including system administration, networking, troubleshooting, and system-level configuration.
- Manage production deployment and GitOps workflows using ArgoCD.
- Improve infrastructure reliability, scalability, security, monitoring, and operational efficiency.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and drive problems through to resolution.
- Develop automation and processes that reduce manual operational work.
Essential Requirements
- 4+ years of hands-on experience operating production infrastructure, with personal ownership and responsibility for live systems, including on-call experience.
- Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience — you must have operated and managed Kubernetes clusters, rather than simply deploying applications onto clusters managed by another team.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, with Terraform strongly preferred. Experience with Pulumi or CloudFormation is also considered.
- Strong experience with at least one major cloud platform, ideally AWS. Strong GCP or Azure experience is also welcome, provided you are willing to work with AWS.
- Strong Linux skills and confidence working from the command line, including networking, troubleshooting, system configuration, and performance issues.
- Production experience with ArgoCD and GitOps-based deployment workflows.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take ownership of production incidents and infrastructure issues.
Nice to Have
Experience with email infrastructure would be a strong advantage, particularly:
- Mailcow
- IMAP / SMTP
- Postfix
- Dovecot
- General mail server administration and maintenance
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is genuinely hands-on and operationally experienced. You should be comfortable owning infrastructure end to end, investigating issues directly on production systems, and making decisions that improve reliability and scalability.
If you've built and operated Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure yourself, enjoy automation, and are comfortable getting deep into Linux and production troubleshooting, we'd love to hear from you.
