About the Team

The DevOps team builds, maintains and scales the developer tooling platform and infrastructure that hundreds of engineers at Proton rely on daily, across both on-premises and cloud environments. Security isn't an afterthought — it's a core constraint we design around.

Responsibilities

• Own and scale CI/CD infrastructure handling tens of thousands of jobs daily and growing — that means capacity planning, runner architecture, and making the platform reliable as load patterns shift in ways that don't follow simple rules
• Deepen our GitOps workflows built on ArgoCD, from day-to-day operational improvements to more structural work on how we manage cluster state across environments
• Advance our supply chain security posture — we've made deliberate investments in SAST and artifact attestation, and there's meaningful work ahead to see them through
• Troubleshoot hard infrastructure problems across network, application, and system layers — the kind where the answer isn't obvious and requires pulling on multiple threads at once

Required Qualifications

• Strong Kubernetes experience, including tuning and troubleshooting on-prem Linux systems under real load
• Hands-on CI/CD background — GitLab CI specifically is a plus
• GitOps in practice, ideally with ArgoCD
• Software development skills in Python, Golang or Rust — enough to build and maintain the tooling around your infrastructure, not just configure it
• Configuration management experience with Ansible and/or Terraform
• A security mindset grounded in DevSecOps practices — supply chain security experience is a genuine advantage here
• The communication skills to work effectively across teams and document your work clearly
