[Hiring] DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer @xFarm Technologies SA

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer to join our CloudOps team and own the operational infrastructure that keeps our backend platform running across Europe and Latin America. You will work closely with our Cloud Architect and with the Tech organization's engineering teams, as the first dedicated SRE / Kubernetes hire in a newly established, high-impact function.

• Kubernetes Operations: Deploy, scale, secure and troubleshoot containerized backend services on Kubernetes, managing workloads, resource limits, networking and rollouts.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Own and improve GitLab CI/CD pipelines end to end, setting up new projects and pipeline scaffolding for new services while keeping build/test/deploy fast and reliable.
• Observability: Govern the Elastic Cloud stack (logs and metrics) and operate the Prometheus/Grafana stack, building and maintaining dashboards, alerts and log/metrics pipelines, acting as the reference point for teams debugging production issues.
• Reliability & Incident Response: Define and track SLIs/SLOs, respond to incidents, drive root-cause analysis and reduce toil through automation.
• Infrastructure as Code: Manage infrastructure declaratively (Terraform / Helm / GitOps or equivalent) to keep environments reproducible and auditable.
• Developer Enablement: Support engineering teams with tooling, environments and fast feedback loops, documenting runbooks and self-service paths.
• Security & Hygiene: Apply secrets management, access control and dependency/image hygiene across the pipeline and cluster.

Qualifications

• Proven hands-on experience as a DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer in production.
• Solid experience with Kubernetes in production — deployment, operations and troubleshooting, not just kubectl apply.
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitLab CI/CD, including bootstrapping new repositories and pipelines from scratch.
• Observability experience with both the Elastic stack (Elasticsearch / Kibana / Elastic Cloud) and the Prometheus/Grafana stack (metrics collection, PromQL, dashboards, alerting).
• Infrastructure as Code experience (any tool) and solid cloud fundamentals (containers, networking, secrets, IAM basics).
• Strong scripting ability (Bash / Python or similar).
• Full European-hours availability (09:00–18:00 CEST) to support engineering teams in real time.
• Solid English for working across EU and LATAM chapters; Java/JVM knowledge, AWS and/or GCP experience are a plus.

Requirements

• Collaboration and clear communication with non-infra colleagues.
• Analytical, root-cause-driven problem-solving.
• Composure under pressure during incidents.
• Self-motivation and ownership.
• Reliability and accountability.
• Continuous learning.
