Job description

As a DevOps Engineer at Veeqo, you will be in charge of continuously improving the resiliency and security of the systems that make Veeqo's products and features possible.

This role is a good fit for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is both creative and technical.

A day in the life

You start the day triaging alerts and monitoring dashboards. If on-call, you're first responder for production issues.

Mid-morning is infrastructure delivery: provisioning resources, writing Infrastructure-as-Code, or reviewing change management plans.

After lunch, you're helping product teams debug deployment failures, identifying root causes, and adding automation to prevent recurrence.

Later, you prepare your own production changes (patching, upgrading, or scaling) with proper testing, documentation, and peer approval.

No two days are identical. Some are project-heavy, others operationally heavy. The constant: end-to-end ownership. You design it, build it, deploy it, and operate it.
