About the Role
We’re looking for a skilled DevOps Software Engineer who will take full ownership of the DevOps and infrastructure layer for a growing suite of modern internal tools, web applications, and backend services.

This is a true greenfield opportunity with no legacy code to maintain. You’ll have significant autonomy to shape reliable, automated systems while collaborating closely with a strong Python backend team (already building robust APIs), product stakeholders, and internal sysadmins in a self-hosted, Linux-first environment.Responsibilities

• Additional: Experience with React/Next.js frontends for internal tools, Bun/Vitest for any supporting scripts, and modern web deployment practices
Key Responsibilities
• Design and build scalable, performant, secure, and maintainable infrastructure and deployment pipelines for a growing set of internal tools and applications.
• Define architecture for CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, logging, and data strategies that support multiple projects.
• Partner closely with the Python backend team and frontend engineers to create seamless, automated, API-driven experiences from development to production.
• Ensure high quality through testing (unit, integration, E2E), optimization, security best practices, and excellent developer experience.
• Manage and evolve CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, Dockerize applications, and implement smooth, repeatable deployments.
• Explore and introduce modern DevOps technologies, automation tools, and observability solutions where they provide clear value.
Required Qualifications
• 4+ years of professional DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience.
• Strong expertise in Linux environments, Docker, Python scripting, and modern CI/CD practices.
• Hands-on experience shipping production applications with infrastructure-as-code, containerization, and automated deployments.
• Solid understanding of web performance, security, observability, and current infrastructure standards.
• Comfortable working with APIs, self-hosted GitLab, Linux/Docker/Git-based environments, and collaborating with development teams.
• Effective communicator who enjoys collaborating across teams.
Nice-to-Haves
• Experience with Kubernetes, WebAssembly (Wasm), or edge runtimes.
