THE CHALLENGE:
- Work alongside development teams to design, automate, and scale resilient infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines optimized for rapid, secure delivery.

- Contribute to automation initiatives to minimize manual tasks, reduce operational risk, and ensure consistency across both legacy and new applications.
- Engage proactively with engineering teams to gather feedback and continuously evolve our platform, tooling, and developer experience.
ABOUT YOU:
- Experience in software engineering, with hands-on exposure to building and supporting production-grade systems.
- Understanding of Kubernetes and cloud platforms (preferably AWS); comfortable deploying and operating scalable, resilient workloads.
- Expertise in infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) and a natural inclination toward automation.
- Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (Python, Go, Bash, etc.).
- Comprehensive grasp of CI/CD pipelines, observability, and security best practices.
- Collaborative and communicative — adept at mentoring teammates, advocating for modern engineering practices, and thriving in cross-functional squads.
- Motivated by the opportunity to build internal platforms that abstract complexity and enhance developer productivity at scale.
OUR OFFER:
- A collaborative environment with colleagues from all over the world (Engineering offices in Europe, Asia and US) including various social events and teambuilding.
- Flexibility to manage your workday and tasks with autonomy.
- A balance of structure and autonomy to tackle your daily tasks.
- Vibrant and inclusive community, including Women in Tech and Pride groups which welcome all participants.
