Role Description
We are seeking a skilled and motivated DevOps Engineer to help operate and extend our Google Cloud Platform, and to support our growing footprint in the United States.
This is a remote role based in Brazil. You will work as part of our Security & Cloud team alongside colleagues in Ireland, with your working day providing valuable overlap across both European and United States business hours.
The role suits an engineer at mid-senior level. You will join a small, high-trust team where infrastructure is treated as a product: version-controlled, reviewed, tested, and documented.
Responsibilities
-
Design, build, and maintain infrastructure as code across our cloud landing zone and application infrastructure, following established module and review practices.
-
Operate and improve our Kubernetes estate, including private clusters, traffic management, autoscaling, workload identity, and cluster lifecycle.
-
Extend and maintain our CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, and Cloud Deploy, including keyless authentication and approval-gated releases.
-
Maintain and improve our golden path, so that product teams can onboard new applications and services with minimal friction.
-
Own observability as code: dashboards, alert policies, log-based metrics, and service-level monitoring.
-
Apply policy as code and least-privilege access controls consistently across the estate.
-
Extend our platform patterns into additional cloud regions as our product footprint grows, covering region-aware infrastructure code, data residency, and traffic routing.
-
Act as the infrastructure point of contact for our United States operations during their business day, participating in production support and incident follow-up.
-
Implement and uphold security best practices to safeguard our infrastructure and our customers' data.
-
Collaborate with engineering teams on proof-of-concepts for new infrastructure capabilities that improve our SaaS product.
-
Document infrastructure configurations, deployment processes, and runbooks so that knowledge is shared and practices stay consistent across teams.
-
Mentor and support colleagues, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Qualifications
-
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent experience, in an IT-related field.
-
At least 3 years of proven experience in a DevOps, platform, or SRE role, with a track record of building and running reliable cloud infrastructure.
-
Hands-on production experience with Terraform, including writing and maintaining reusable modules and managing remote state.
-
Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) preferred.
-
Experience running Kubernetes in production environments.
-
Solid grounding in containerisation with Docker, including image build practices.
-
Practical CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions or an equivalent platform, including pipeline design and troubleshooting.
-
Working knowledge of Linux systems administration and scripting in Bash, Python, or similar.
-
Confident use of Git, branching models and code review as a normal part of daily work.
-
Experience with monitoring and logging tools for proactive system management.
-
Professional working English, written and spoken.
-
Based in Brazil, with the ability to overlap daily with an Ireland-based team.
-
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and explain technical concepts clearly.
-
Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.
-
Comfortable taking ownership of critical infrastructure and making informed decisions without compromising security or stability.
Requirements
-
Google Kubernetes Engine specifically, including private clusters and workload identity.
-
Kustomize and Skaffold for manifest management and deployment.
-
Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy for build and release orchestration.
-
Policy as code, and automated compliance checks in delivery pipelines.
-
Google Cloud Foundation Toolkit, or comparable landing zone blueprints from another provider.
-
JVM build tooling such as Gradle or Maven, in a CI context.
-
Multi-region or geographic expansion experience.
-
Experience working in a distributed team across multiple time zones.
-
Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer or Professional Cloud Architect certification.
-
Exposure to security or compliance programmes.
-
Formal English qualifications of CEFR B2 or equivalent.
Benefits
-
Ownership of a modern cloud platform, in a team small enough that your work is visible and your decisions matter.
-
A mature, blueprint-aligned engineering environment: infrastructure as code, reviewed changes, automated delivery, and documented practice.
-
The first infrastructure hire in the region, with scope to shape how we support and grow our United States presence.
-
Continuous learning, including support for certification and time to evaluate new technology properly.
