Description

This is more than just a senior engineering role - you will become the face of infrastructure within the company, shaping the strategy, implementing best practices, and influencing the product direction. 

What You Will Do:

• Design infrastructure for high-load distributed systems (from bare-metal to Kubernetes in the cloud).
• Take ownership of the platform: its reliability, performance, fault tolerance, and security.
• Lead the DevOps team: mentor, support, develop, and involve engineers in architectural and product decisions.
• Build and execute infrastructure roadmaps (migrations, high availability, observability, security, etc.).
• Collaborate with development teams and product managers, participating in planning and implementation of changes.
• Participate in incident management — both technical (infrastructure failures) and process-related.
• Manage projects: planning, task decomposition, progress tracking, and removing blockers.

Tech Stack:

• Linux / Virtualization: Debian/Ubuntu, Proxmox VE, QEMU/KVM, libvirt.
• Networking: routing, VPN, BGP, DNS, load balancing, high availability, Cloudflare, Fastly.
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible.
• Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, GitLab CI.
• Monitoring & Logging: Grafana, Prometheus, Victoria Metrics, Zabbix, ELK, Opsgenie, SigNoz.
• Databases & Messaging: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse, Redis/Valkey, Kafka, RabbitMQ.
• Scripting / Tooling: Bash, Python, Golang.
• Cloud (preferred): AWS, GCP.
• Processes & Culture: GitOps, DevOps, SRE practices.

Will be an advantage:

• Experience with cloud platforms AWS and GCP.
• Programming skills in Python or Golang.

What Matters:

• 5+ years of experience as a Team Lead, Architect, or Technical Lead in a product-focused company.
• Proven leadership experience: driving projects, managing people, participating in hiring and developing engineers.
• Strong systems thinking: ability to design architecture, foresee the impact of decisions, simplify complexity.
• Ownership mindset: solving problems rather than assigning blame.
• Proactivity: you do not wait for tasks — you shape the vision and lead the team toward it.

Nice to Have:

• Experience building and maintaining high-load / high-availability products.
• Experience migrating infrastructure to Kubernetes or to the cloud.
• Participation in building CI/CD and GitOps processes.
• Experience hiring and forming engineering teams.
