Collaborating closely with application engineers, you will enable reliable deployments, strong observability, and production‑grade operations at scale. This position offers deep technical ownership, high visibility, and the opportunity to shape foundational systems with long‑term impact. You will join a fast‑paced, remote‑first team that values automation, resilience, and thoughtful engineering. If you thrive in building modern cloud platforms and enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, this role offers exceptional scope and growth.

Accountabilities:

• Implement and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform, ensuring modular, reusable, and scalable architectures.
• Partner closely with application engineering teams to define infrastructure requirements, support CI/CD pipelines, and improve deployment workflows.
• Apply security‑first principles across networking, compute, and deployment processes to ensure system integrity, performance, and resilience.
• Automate operational processes to enhance reliability, scalability, and developer experience.
• Establish and continuously improve infrastructure and site reliability engineering best practices across the platform.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience building and operating cloud‑native infrastructure in production environments.
• Strong hands‑on expertise with infrastructure as code, container orchestration, and CI/CD systems, including Terraform and Kubernetes.
• Proven experience operating workloads on Google Cloud Platform or other major cloud providers such as AWS or Azure.
• Demonstrated ability to design secure, highly available systems and apply site reliability engineering principles.
• Experience working in fast‑paced, product‑focused teams with a strong emphasis on automation and continuous improvement.
• Preferred qualifications include experience with financial or sensitive data systems, familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry, cloud certifications, and exposure to blockchain or decentralized infrastructure.

Benefits:

• Fully remote, EMEA‑friendly work environment.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision healthcare coverage, depending on country and plan.
• Company‑matched retirement plan where applicable.
• Home office setup allowance and monthly internet or phone reimbursement.
• Flexible time‑off policy and quarterly company‑wide wellness days.
• Company‑issued laptop and modern work equipment.
• Mental health support, wellness programs, and family‑focused benefits.
• Additional benefits and coverage depending on geographic location.
