Job summary

Software Mind’s Cloud Mind unit seeks a hands-on cloud engineer to deliver client projects on AWS-first Kubernetes platforms, with in-house AI agents for operations. You’ll manage EKS, IAM, VPC networking, S3, and GitOps pipelines using Terraform/OpenTofu and ArgoCD.

You’ll collaborate with client engineers, drive upgrades, observability, and cost optimisation while enabling GCP workloads on other projects when needed. Strong English and Polish required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps / Cloud / Platform engineering experience.
• Strong production-grade AWS experience (EKS, IAM, VPC and networking, S3, RDS/Aurora or other managed services).
• Kubernetes and Helm in production; GitOps (ArgoCD or similar).
• Terraform / OpenTofu (infrastructure as code).
• CI/CD, preferably GitLab CI, including building reusable pipelines.
• Scripting (Bash, Python) and solid Linux fundamentals.
• Observability stacks (Elastic Stack, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, CloudWatch or similar).
• Understanding of AI-agentic architectures (LLM agents, Amazon Bedrock or similar) at deployment and operations level.
• Ownership: you propose improvements, own changes end-to-end and use AI tools responsibly, not as a substitute for experience.
• Excellent communication skills and fluent English (daily direct contact with client engineers); proficiency in Polish

Responsibilities

• Run and develop an AWS and Kubernetes platform (EKS, ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM) with OpenTofu/Terraform
• Build and maintain reusable GitLab CI/CD components with built-in security and quality gates (SonarQube, Trivy, SBOM), and GitOps deployments with ArgoCD
• Deploy, secure and operate AI agents for operations (Amazon Bedrock / AgentCore, MCP-based tool access)
• Keep production running: EKS upgrades and patching, observability and alerting, incident response, cost optimisation
• Modernise the platform and define standards: Gateway API, OpenTelemetry, secrets management, runbooks
• Work directly with client engineers: find problems worth solving, propose improvements and own changes end-to-end
• Support GCP workloads (Landing Zone, networking, security) on other Cloud Mind projects when needed

Building cross-functional engineering teams that take ownership and crave more means we’re always on the lookout for talented people who bring passion and creativity to every project. Our culture embraces openness, acts with respect, shows grit & guts and combines cooperation with enjoyment.

Job Description

Project – the aim you’ll have

You will join Cloud Mind, Software Mind's cloud engineering unit, as a hands-on cloud engineer delivering client projects for international companies. Projects change over time; the current focus is an AWS-first Kubernetes platform (EKS, OpenTofu/Terraform, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, observability) with in-house AI agents for operations. GCP is the second cloud on other Cloud Mind projects. Much of the role is self-initiated: you find the problems worth solving.

Role – how you’ll contribute

• Run and develop an AWS and Kubernetes platform (EKS, ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM) with OpenTofu/Terraform
• Build and maintain reusable GitLab CI/CD components with built-in security and quality gates (SonarQube, Trivy, SBOM), and GitOps deployments with ArgoCD
• Deploy, secure and operate AI agents for operations (Amazon Bedrock / AgentCore, MCP-based tool access)
• Keep production running: EKS upgrades and patching, observability and alerting, incident response, cost optimisation
• Modernise the platform and define standards: Gateway API, OpenTelemetry, secrets management, runbooks
• Work directly with client engineers: find problems worth solving, propose improvements and own changes end-to-end
• Support GCP workloads (Landing Zone, networking, security) on other Cloud Mind projects when needed

Qualifications

Expectations – the experience you need

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps / Cloud / Platform engineering experience
• Strong, production-grade AWS experience (EKS, IAM, VPC and networking, S3, RDS/Aurora or other managed services)
• Kubernetes and Helm in production; GitOps (ArgoCD or similar)
• Terraform / OpenTofu (infrastructure as code)
• CI/CD, preferably GitLab CI, including building reusable pipelines.
• Scripting (Bash, Python) and solid Linux fundamentals
• Observability stacks (Elastic Stack, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, CloudWatch or similar)
• Understanding of AI-agentic architectures (LLM agents, Amazon Bedrock or similar) at deployment and operations level
• Ownership: you propose improvements, own changes end-to-end and use AI tools responsibly, not as a substitute for experience
• Excellent communication skills and fluent English (daily direct contact with client engineers); proficiency in Polish

Additional skills – the edge you have

• GCP as a second cloud: Landing Zone components built with Terraform and CI/CD
• GCP networking: VPC, VPN, routing, DNS; hybrid connectivity (Cloud Interconnect)
• GCP security and compliance: IAM, organisation policies, centralised logging; regulated industries (e.g. DORA)
• GKE and Cloud Monitoring.
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional)
• Serverless and event-driven AWS (Lambda, ECS, EventBridge, Step Functions)
• Supply-chain security: SonarQube, Dependency-Track, Trivy, SBOM, Renovate
• Kubernetes add-ons: Karpenter, Cilium, Gateway API, External Secrets
