Our promise:

• You choose how you work: remote-first or at our offices in Timpuri Noi Square, Bucharest (during the onboarding process); backed by benefits designed to support your life on and off work. 🏘️

• We support your career through continuous learning, coaching, and mentorship, all within a feedback-driven environment that inspires healthy communication.

• You’ll join a friendly, creative team that shares cool hobbies (from sports to music) and knows how to have serious fun together (yes, we really have our own beer and sailing team!)

As a DevOps Lead, you will:

Build and operate

• Design, build and operate cloud infrastructure hands-on;

• Own the technically difficult work: complex migrations, incident root-cause analysis, architecture decisions that others will build on;

• Review your team's infrastructure code and designs, and raise the technical bar through that review;

• Occasionally assist in addressing critical incidents or perform planned maintenance outside of regular business hours.

Lead people

• Lead and mentor DevOps engineers of different seniority levels, providing technical guidance, support and assessment on skill development;

• Own performance conversations and growth plans for your direct reports;

• Help calibrate workload and capacity across accounts, together with the department lead.

Improve how we work

• Continuously assess and improve DevOps processes, workflows, and toolchains to optimize efficiency, quality, and speed of delivery;

• Contribute to the department's technical direction and roadmap, and translate it into concrete initiatives for your group;

• Drive the adoption of automation across deployment, testing, and monitoring.

• Implement monitoring and alerting solutions that detect issues before clients report them, and use performance data to decide what to fix next.

Work with others

• Collaborate closely with development, operations, security and QA teams to ensure smooth software delivery;

• Communicate project status, risks and technical trade-offs to both client stakeholders and internal management, adjusting the level of detail to the audience;

• Work with security colleagues to integrate security practices into the DevOps workflow, including access control and vulnerability management.

Support the business

• Lead and validate effort and timeline estimations;

• Occasionally work with the sales team during presales: technical discovery calls, solution recommendations, and input for RFPs and RFIs.

What about you?

• At least 6 years of experience as a DevOps or Infrastructure Engineer, with a strong focus on automating software delivery and infrastructure management;

• Experience leading technical work and guiding other engineers, formally as a lead, or informally as the person the team relies on for direction. Direct mentoring experience matters more to us than a previous job title;

• Deep, hands-on expertise in at least one major cloud provider (GCP, Azure or AWS);

• Working knowledge of at least one other cloud provider, and the ability to map concepts across them;

• Deep expertise in infrastructure as code: Terraform specifically;

• Containerization and orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes, including hands-on experience with a managed offering (GKE, AKS or EKS);

• Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Go, or Bash);

• Strong Linux knowledge, including running services in production: NginX or Apache, and at least one relational database;

• Solid networking fundamentals for cloud environments: TCP/UDP, HTTP/SSL, DNS, DHCP, and ideally BGP;

• Experience configuring monitoring and logging solutions: an ELK/EFK stack, or Prometheus/Grafana;

• Comfortable delivering technical presentations to internal and external audiences.

• Professional English, written and spoken.

Nice to have

• Experience with configuration management tooling, particularly Ansible;

• Experience with presales calls and building implementation effort estimations;

• Experience working in a services or consultancy setup, across multiple client accounts;

• Service mesh, policy-as-code, or platform engineering experience (Envoy, OPA, internal developer platforms);

• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS);

• A professional-level cloud certification: Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer or Cloud Architect; Microsoft Certified Azure DevOps Engineer Expert or Azure Solutions Architect Expert; AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or Solutions Architect – Professional

• HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate.

If you feel this role is for you, let us get to know you better! There are a few steps left:

• A get-to-know HR Discussion with your recruiter, Alexandra;

• A first conversation with the Infrastructure & Platform Engineering team (approx. 2h) - the role, the context, how we work, the projects, and a few real scenarios;

• A practical exercise - sent to you by email after the first conversation. It is designed to take around 4-6 hours;

• A technical deep dive with the same team (approx. 2h) — we go through your exercise together, then explore the areas we care about most: Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud architecture.

Our recruitment process is designed to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
