Luca is an AI SaaS startup revolutionizing K-12 education in Latin America.

As one of the fastest-growing startups in Mexico, we’re gearing up for our next big leap in growth, backed by top European investors.

We’re reimagining how millions of students across Latin America learn blending world-class content, smart software with AI, and beautifully crafted physical books into a single learning experience. Our model is proven and scaling. We’ve grown fast, with deep product adoption and the trust of schools, parents, and students across the region.

At Luca, we know that our schools’ experience is just as important as our product. We want every school, teacher, and student to feel supported, empowered, and proud to be part of our journey. That’s where you come in.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of our cloud infrastructure, automation pipelines, and system observability, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security across all environments.

This is a hands-on role for a builder-operator — someone who can design, implement, and optimize GCP environments with world-class DevSecOps practices.

Your Mission:

Infrastructure & Networking – Design, implement, and manage scalable infrastructure on GCP. Configure VPCs, subnets, firewall rules, and load balancers for internal and public services.

Automation & CI/CD – Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build and Terraform. Deploy canary releases and rollback automation while enforcing DevSecOps best practices.
Storage & Databases – Manage Cloud Storage buckets and Cloud SQL (MySQL/PostgreSQL), ensuring secure access, performance tuning, and automated backups.
Monitoring & Observability – Set up alerts, dashboards, and metrics using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Grafana, Prometheus, and Sentry to ensure system reliability and visibility.
Collaboration & Delivery – Work closely with backend engineers and report clear deliverables, ensuring operational excellence across teams.

Who You Are:

✔️ 5+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer or Site Reliability Engineer
✔️ Proven experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments
✔️ Strong expertise in Terraform, Cloud Build, and CI/CD tools (GitHub/GitLab CI)
✔️ Advanced knowledge of cloud security, networking, and load balancing
✔️ Familiar with agile methodologies and DevSecOps principles
✔️ Excellent communication and documentation skills
✔️ You speak Spanish fluently (highly preferred)
✔️ Based in Portugal and able to invoice with NIF and NISS (required for tax, contract, and social security compliance)

Why Join Us:
