• 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.

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.
• Comfort with infrastructure as code and config management tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• 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.
• Can-do attitude, proactive and willing to step up and resolve any obstacle. Self-aware, self-starter, and
self-motivated.
Preferred qualifications:
• Experience with GitOps, monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana), and secrets management.
