• Work with hardware teams, influencing hardware/software co-design.

• Work with teams developing compilers, firmware, AI stacks, and middleware, and contribute as necessary.

• Collaborate with colleagues through code reviews, bug triaging, design documents.

• Contribute to shared team responsibilities (CI failure triaging, documentation, code fixits, rotations).

• Design, build, and manage infrastructure across on-premises and hybrid environments.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation using Python, Go, and IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).

• Operate and fine-tune Linux servers, focusing on performance, observability, and resilience.

• Implement containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Champion cloud-native patterns — for private and public hosted solutions.

• Champion security practices, managing keys, safe GitOps pipelines etc etc

• Drive monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices.

• Collaborate across distributed teams, contributing to technical decisions and long-term architecture.

• Help define and implement DevOps and DevSecOps practices, standards, and documentation from scratch.

• Understand and troubleshoot networking (DNS, firewalls, routing, VPNs, load balancing) in both virtualized and physical environments

Required qualifications:

Technical skills

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in a relevant field.

• 5+ years of DevOps / SRE / infrastructure engineering experience.

• Strong Linux skills

• Solid networking knowledge your way around DNS and routing.

• Experience building automation and tooling in Python and Go.

• Hands-on experience with container technologies and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with hybrid and on-prem infrastructure management.

• Fluency in English (written and spoken).

• Ownership mentality — proactive, accountable, and driven to solve problems independently.

• Experience with standard tools for source control (git), continuous integration, task management (Jira).

Soft skills:

• Team player: communicative and collaborative person who focuses on the outcome of the team above the

individual needs.

• Curious about learning new technologies/stacks.

• Capable of within- and cross-team collaboration at the technical level.

self-motivated.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with GitOps, monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana), and secrets management.
