DevOps Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Canada - East Coast, USA - East Coast, Western Europe (CET)

Employment Type: FullTime

We are looking for a DevOps / Platform Engineer to focus on creating reliable, reproducible, and secure infrastructure and developer environments that enable software engineers to build and operate complex, multi-party systems with confidence.

You will work closely with software engineers to support services written to manage infrastructure and deployment pipelines and help lead a transition from traditional Linux environments toward Nix-based systems (including NixOS). This role is well suited for someone who enjoys working across systems, tooling, and developer experience—and who values correctness, clarity, and long-term maintainability.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure and deployment pipelines supporting applications.

• Support and evolve Linux-based systems, including a transition to Nix / NixOS and reproducible build environments.

• Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Scala- and TypeScript-based services.

• Partner closely with software engineers to improve:

• developer environments

• build and release workflows

• observability, reliability, and operational tooling

• Operate and support production systems with a focus on reliability, security, and auditability.

• Help standardize configuration, tooling, and environments across development and production.

• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

• Document systems, processes, and operational knowledge clearly and thoughtfully.

Position Requirements

• A minimum of four years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or systems engineering roles.

• Strong experience working with Linux systems in production environments.

• Experience with Nix, NixOS, or reproducible build systems, or demonstrated interest and hands-on learning in this area.

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Familiarity with containerized services and modern deployment practices.

• Strong understanding of core infrastructure and systems concepts:

• system configuration and automation

• networking fundamentals

• monitoring, logging, and alerting

• reliability and failure modes

• Ability to collaborate effectively with application engineers and explain systems tradeoffs clearly.

• Experience working in a remote or distributed team with strong written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting distributed systems or multi-service architectures.

• Experience in regulated, high-reliability, or enterprise environments.

• Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g., Nix, Terraform, or similar).

• Experience operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure).

• Contributions to open-source projects, tooling, or public infrastructure repositories.

Why This Role

• Play a key role in a thoughtful transition to reproducible, declarative infrastructure using Nix.

• Collaborate with strong engineers solving genuinely hard technical problems.

• Emphasis on correctness, maintainability, and long-term system health—not quick hacks.

• Strong learning culture with support for deep technical growth.

• Remote-first, flexible work environment.

• Competitive compensation based on experience and location.

How to Apply

We care more about what you’ve built and operated than where you’ve worked. Please include:

• Your resume or CV.

• Links to GitHub, GitLab, or other public repositories showing infrastructure code, tooling, automation, or systems work you’ve done.

• Open-source contributions, side projects, or examples of non-trivial operational systems are highly encouraged.

• If a repository represents team-based work, please briefly describe your personal contributions.
