DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps Engineer, Remote Europe Are you a Senior DevOps Engineer who wants to own the infrastructure behind a live product, rather than maintain one corner of someone else's platform? A hospitality technology company whose platform runs live restaurant operations is adding a second DevOps engineer to own and harden the cloud infrastructure it all runs on. 📍 Fully remote across Europe. B2B contract, invoiced through your own entity.💶 €70,000 to €90,000, maybe €100,000 plus equity 🤝 Interview Process:2 stages:Conversation with the FounderTechnical Interview with the Tech Team Tech Stack: AWS · EKS · Terraform · Aurora PostgreSQL · Grafana open source stack · GitOps The platform is live, in production, and restaurants depend on it during service. When the infrastructure has a bad night, restaurants have a bad night. Over 100 million transactions processed to dateAround 500GB of live operational data across restaurant customersSeries A closing, with revenue growing month on monthAn engineering team of eight: CTO, three backend, mobile, frontend, data and DevOps The next step is making that infrastructure resilient enough. Repeatable, observable, secure, and able to survive losing a region. That is where you come in. You will own and improve the cloud infrastructure alongside the existing DevOps engineer, from the EKS clusters and Aurora databases through to security and disaster recovery. The Role: You will work alongside the existing DevOps engineer, and closely with the CTO and the backend and data engineers who ship on top of what you both build. This is hands on. You write the Terraform, run the clusters, tune the databases and test the failover yourself. In a two person DevOps function, you will have a real say in how infrastructure is built, deployed and recovered. This is a long term, full time engagement on a B2B basis, not a fixed scope project. The team already works this way across Europe, so the setup is established rather than experimental. What You Will Be Doing: Running AWS infrastructure across EKS, networking, DNS, load balancing, security and costOwning Aurora PostgreSQL clusters: performance, monitoring, backups, replication and failoverBuilding and maintaining infrastructure as code in Terraform, so every environment is reliable and repeatableImplementing GitOps based Kubernetes deployments using Argo CD or FluxBuilding multi-region disaster recovery end to end: infrastructure failover, database recovery, and DR testing that proves it worksTightening security across secrets management, access controls and vulnerability managementBuilding metrics, logging and tracing so problems are caught before restaurants feel them Experience We Are Looking For: Five or more years in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering or Cloud InfrastructureStrong production experience with AWS, Kubernetes on EKS, Terraform, Linux and containerised workloadsManaging, monitoring and troubleshooting PostgreSQL in production, ideally AWS Aurora PostgreSQLMetrics, logging and tracing with the Grafana open source stack on Kubernetes, for example Prometheus or Mimir, Loki and TempoDesigning secure, highly available, multi-region infrastructure and disaster recoveryStrong troubleshooting across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking and databasesReal projects you can talk through, professional or personal, where you built it, ran it and fixed it Nice To Have: GitOps with Argo CD or FluxKafka on Kubernetes using StrimziCloudflare, edge networking and WebSocket based applicationsAWS, Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD), Terraform or other cloud native certificationsHigh traffic or latency sensitive production systems This is not the role for you if you want a large platform team to hand work to, or would rather maintain a finished platform than build the next version of one. It is the role for you if you are already the person who knows how production actually hangs together, and you want to shape the infrastructure, the standards and the DR plan rather than inherit them. This is a senior role. Not a 9-5, not a 9-9-6. Judged on output. Hit apply for consideration
