We are currently looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with strong skills and proven experience who is ready to dive into the for a full-time engagement.

The role:

You will be the technical lead for their AWS environment, the CI/CD machinery, the observability stack, and the service-to-service backbone our product engineers build on.

You will not have direct reports, but you will set the technical direction, raise the bar on reliability and security, and mentor mid-level engineers.

We expect you to use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) as a primary tool - not an occasional helper - for writing code, generating IaC, drafting runbooks, triaging incidents, and automating toil.

If "I'll write a script later" is your default, this role will frustrate you; if "I'll have an agent draft it now and review the diff" is your default, you'll fit right in.

Tech you will work with:

Cloud: AWS Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, RDS, S3 and many more
Containers & orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS)
IaC & config mgmt: Terraform, Ansible
Service backbone: API gateway + service mesh, async messaging (EventBridge / SNS-SQS)
Source & CI/CD: Bitbucket + CircleCI, ArgoCD for GitOps deploys
Observability: CloudWatch, Grafana
Languages: Go, TypeScript/Node, PHP, Bash

What we're looking for:

7–10 years in DevOps / platform / SRE roles, with at least the last 3–4 on AWS at production scale.
Hands-on serverless and container experience on AWS (Lambda, ECS/Fargate) — you can argue when not to use each.
Strong Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) skills — writing production-grade Dockerfiles, Helm charts or Kustomize, and running ArgoCD-driven GitOps deploys with progressive rollout strategies.
Deep IaC and configuration management practice (Terraform and Ansible) — modules, drift, secret handling, multi-account, idempotent playbooks.
Real experience with event-driven SOA systems: SNS/SQS, EventBridge — including the failure modes (idempotency, replay, poison messages, ordering).
Practical understanding of API gateways and service mesh patterns — auth, mTLS, traffic shaping, circuit breaking.
Track record of legacy-to-services migration — strangler patterns, data backfills, dual-writes, cutovers without downtime.
Observability and security as defaults: IAM least-privilege, secrets management, vulnerability and supply-chain scanning.
Comfortable in Go, TypeScript/Node, PHP, and Bash — enough to read, debug, and write tooling in any of them.
GDPR awareness and experience operating under ISO 27001 or SOC 2 controls (or readiness work).
Tech-lead mindset: writes ADRs, mentors peers, drives consensus, knows when to push back.
AI-first by default: you actively use AI coding assistants and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) for the bulk of your day-to-day coding, IaC, and automation work — and you have strong opinions on where they help, where they don't, and how to review their output safely.
You are fluent in English.
