• Designing, building and maintaining scalable CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI/CD
• Supporting and improving infrastructure across multiple products: on-premise, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid
• Developing and refactoring internal platform tools and services in Go, including a next-generation replacement for our current deployment system
• Investigating existing infrastructure on your own, finding weak spots and proposing and driving improvements
• Making stage and ephemeral environments faster, more reliable and cheaper to run
• Managing infrastructure as code with Terraform and Ansible
• Improving observability with Grafana, OpenSearch, metrics and alerting
• Handling operational and support tasks, which are shared across the whole team, seniors included
• Working closely with R&D, QA, SRE and infrastructure teams to improve developer experience and delivery speed

• 3–5+ years of experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering at a senior level
• Real hands-on experience deploying and supporting on-premise infrastructure, including troubleshooting at the hardware and infrastructure level

• Experience with observability tools: Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics
• Readiness to work with legacy systems and Windows environments (Windows Server, Hyper-V, PowerShell) as well as modern stacks
• A strong ownership mindset: you take initiatives from start to finish and deliver measurable results
• Self-driven problem solving: you dig into unfamiliar systems on your own instead of waiting for step-by-step guidance
• Systems thinking: you see the full path from code to production and can spot bottlenecks
• Clear, pragmatic communication, and the ability to deliver iteratively without overengineering
• A collaborative attitude, with low ego and high accountability

Requirements

• Experience with several cloud providers or hybrid infrastructure
