Summary

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our infrastructure team. In this role, you will be a big part towards the shift to a modern, fully automated, code-driven infrastructure, ensuring we meet SLAs and SLOs while optimizing costs.

You will play a pivotal role in transitioning from a low-automation, hybrid cloud-bare metal setup to a streamlined, Kubernetes-driven environment. By implementing full IaC, you will eliminate bottlenecks, empower developers, and drive the evolution of our CI pipelines into a comprehensive GitOps framework, enhancing scalability and ensuring seamless deployments.

Current Tech Stack: LXC, QEMU VMs, Kubernetes, AWS EKS, S3, nginx, ElasticSearch, MongoDB, Postgres, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Jenkins, SOPS, Ansible, Terraform, Talos Linux, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions.

Location: Ideally hybrid in our Lisbon office, but we welcome fully remote candidates.

Responsibilities:

1. Develop and execute the DevOps roadmap, focusing on modern, automated, and code-driven infrastructure solutions.
2. Enhance system stability, scalability, and performance to meet business and SLA requirements.
3. Identify infrastructure deficiencies, propose and implement improvements.
4. Collaborate with teams to transition from low automation to full Infrastructure as Code (IaC).Manage and optimize CI pipelines, evolving them into a robust GitOps framework.
5. Participate in on-call rotations, ensuring prompt incident resolution.
6. Monitor infrastructure health, track uptime SLAs, and implement reliability improvements.
7. Support efficient and cost-effective infrastructure scaling.

What we look for:

1. Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform, Crossplane, or Pulumi.
2. Strong knowledge of Kubernetes and Kubernetes Operators.
3. Experience managing modern bare-metal infrastructures.
4. Proficiency in monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
5. Hands-on experience managing large-scale databases (e.g., MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Postgres with datasets > 5TB).
6. Familiarity with GitOps practices and tools (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux).
7. Proficiency in Linux administration and technologies such as LXC, VMs, and Docker.
8. Bonus: Experience with managing large-scale storage systems (e.g., Ceph).Solid understanding of nginx, Jenkins, and Ansible.
