  • Implement and maintain detailed monitoring systems for databases and infrastructure health using Prometheus and related technologies.
  • Enforce security standards by managing secrets and access controls centrally with HashiCorp Vault.
  • Lead knowledge transfer through documentation, mentoring, and active participation in improving team-wide infrastructure practices.

Requirements

  • Minimum of three years of experience in DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering with a focus on automating infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate and maintain both AWS cloud environments and on-premises Linux bare-metal servers.
  • Advanced proficiency with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code tools, specifically Ansible and Terraform/Terragrunt.
  • Strong programming skills in Python or Go for developing internal tools and automation scripts.
  • In-depth knowledge of Linux internals, including disk I/O performance and network configuration.

Nice to Have

  • Practical experience managing Kubernetes clusters, either on AWS via EKS or self-hosted deployments.
  • Experience or interest in running databases as stateful workloads in Kubernetes using Helm charts or Operators.
  • A commitment to mentoring teammates and promoting best practices in automation and container orchestration.

Benefits

  • Work on high-scale systems where automation is mandatory and manual intervention is actively eliminated.
  • Be part of a collaborative team where your technical decisions directly influence system reliability.
  • Access to a modern technology stack and the autonomy to adopt new tools that address real operational challenges.
  • Opportunities for professional growth through learning programs and complex technical tasks.
  • Relocation support including travel and temporary accommodation for up to two weeks.
  • Support for language development, including partial reimbursement for language courses.

Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain IaC for both AWS (RDS, EC2) and physical bare-metal servers using Terraform/Terragrunt and Ansible.
  • Develop custom tools and scripts (using Python or Go) to automate complex workflows that off-the-shelf tools can't handle.
  • Automate provisioning, configuration tuning, and schema migrations. Work closely with DBAs to eliminate manual toil through code.
  • Build and maintain high-fidelity monitoring for databases and system health using the Prometheus stack.
  • Centralize secret management and access control using HashiCorp Vault.
  • Act as a subject matter expert, documentation enthusiast, and mentor for the team as we evolve our infrastructure practices.

  • A passion for teaching and sharing K8s/Automation best practices with colleagues to level up the entire team.

Benefits

  • The chance to work on complex, high-load systems where "manual" is a forbidden word.
  • A collaborative environment where your architectural decisions directly impact the stability of the product.
  • Modern stack and the freedom to introduce new tools that solve real problems.
