We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who loves infrastructure but isn't afraid to dive into application code. In this role, you will own our cloud infrastructure, automate our pipelines, and ensure our systems are secure and cost-efficient.
Unlike traditional DevOps roles, you will also be an active contributor to our backend codebase. You will work closely with the development team to build new features, maintain microservices, and ensure our Node.js and Python services are scalable and performant.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Maintain, migrate, and scale our AWS infrastructure using Terraform and best practices for EC2, ECS, and data storage.
- Maintain and optimize our build/deploy pipelines using GoCD and GitHub Actions to ensure seamless delivery of our polyglot services (Node, Python, Rust, C++).
- Manage Docker images and orchestration on ECS to ensure consistent environments from dev to production.
- Implement and monitor metrics, logs, and alerts using Datadog. Proactively analyze traffic patterns to prevent issues before they impact users.
- Take ownership of infrastructure compliance standards, specifically maintaining requirements for SOC2.
- Analyze usage patterns and implement strategies to reduce AWS infrastructure costs without sacrificing performance.
- Assist the development team by writing and maintaining backend features in Node.js (TypeScript) and Python.
- Clean up, upgrade, and refactor existing services to reduce technical debt.
- Maintain and improve integrations with 3rd party services.
Qualifications and Skills
- 3+ years of experience in a DevOps or SRE role.
- Strong proficiency with AWS core services (EC2, ECS, ECR, RDS, IAM).
- Production experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- Solid experience with Docker and container orchestration.
- Coding Proficiency: You must be comfortable reading and writing production code in Node.js/TypeScript or Python.
- Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines is a must (GoCD and GitHub Actions preferred).
- Experience with monitoring tools (Datadog, New Relic, or Prometheus).
- Experience navigating a polyglot environment (C++ or Rust build processes) is a plus.
- Knowledge of Database administration (Postgres) using ORMs (Prisma) is a plus.
- Experience handling infrastructure SOC2 compliance requirements is a plus.
Benefits
- Flexible working hours
- Stock Options
- Generous holiday allowance
- Company pension plan
- Car parking
- Enhanced maternity & paternity leave

What We Do
At Auterion we care about providing enterprise with an ecosystem of software-defined drones, payloads, and third party applications within a single easy to use platform based on open-source standards.
We’re leaders in an open-source movement bigger than ourselves and we’ve been on the same mission for over a decade, since our co-founder Lorenz Meier created Pixhawk, MAVLink, QGC, and PX4 (the world’s most widely used open-source drone autopilot operating system).
Our mission is to be the drone platform of choice for enterprise, government, and drone manufacturers while accelerating the drone industry by driving forward open standards to create a common, future-proof roadmap in a thriving, open ecosystem of buyers and vendors.
