Job description

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our client, an international product company providing high-scale platform solutions for the iGaming industry.

This is an additional hire to strengthen an existing DevOps team, not a replacement. The team is looking for a strong hands-on engineer who can not only maintain production infrastructure but also independently troubleshoot complex issues, identify areas for improvement, and contribute new ideas and solutions.

What you'll be doing

• Collaborate closely with DevOps and development teams.
• Review the existing infrastructure and plan improvements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents.
• Improve infrastructure reliability, security, and observability.
• Support and evolve Kubernetes-based production environments.
• Introduce and implement new tools and technologies.
• Contribute to infrastructure and architecture discussions.
• Proactively suggest solutions based on evolving product and business needs.

What we're looking for

• Around 5+ years of hands-on DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure experience, with a strong Senior-level skill set.
• Strong practical experience with AWS - must-have.
• Solid production experience with Kubernetes - essential.
• Strong cloud infrastructure background rather than primarily on-premise experience.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform / Terragrunt.
• Hands-on experience with Docker.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong knowledge of Linux, networking, and HTTP.
• Proven experience troubleshooting production environments and handling incidents.
• Experience working as part of a DevOps/engineering team and collaborating closely with developers.
• English at B2 level or higher.

Experience with ArgoCD, Helm, Ansible, GitLab CI, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch, Alertmanager, or DigitalOcean would be a plus.

Tech Stack

AWS, DigitalOcean, Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab/GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Terraform/Terragrunt, Helm, Ansible, OpenSearch, Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager.

Team & Working Environment

You will join a growing team of 6 DevOps Engineers, including the Team Lead. The company also has a separate SRE team of 7 engineers.

The role is fully remote and full-time, with required overlap during European core working hours.

There is no traditional 24/7 on-call rotation or continuous after-hours monitoring. Each week, one team member is responsible for assisting with production issues if needed, with typically 0-2 incidents per week.

This role is offered on a B2B/contractor basis.

What the company offers

• Fully remote work.
• Paid vacation and sick leave.
• Corporate laptop.
• Private medical insurance reimbursement of up to €80/month after probation.
• Flexible benefits reimbursement of up to €100/month after probation.
• Career growth and professional development opportunities.
• Company-sponsored team events.
• Additional funding opportunities for education and personal development.
