[Hiring] Senior DevOps Engineer / CloudOps Engineer @Accure

Role Description

Own and evolve ACCURE’s cloud infrastructure:

• Take responsibility for the design, operation, and evolution of our AWS- and Kubernetes-based platform to ensure reliability, scalability, and security at every layer.
• Kubernetes Administration: Manage and fine-tune Kubernetes clusters (preferably AWS EKS), Karpenter scaling, and Kubernetes operators. Drive operational excellence across containerised workloads.
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code: Manage infrastructure lifecycle using IaC Tools (preferably Pulumi), promoting consistent, modular, and automated deployments.
• Drive GitOps workflows: Operate and evolve GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD, ensuring predictable and automated delivery processes.
• Develop and maintain backend services: Build and extend core backend applications and services in Python (preferably Django) with a focus on testing, maintainability, observability, and quality.
• Architect and design cloud systems: Shape and develop robust, event-driven, and API-based software architectures that meet performance and security standards.
• Enable monitoring and observability: Build and enhance monitoring, logging, and alerting pipelines using Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentbit, and Opensearch to improve observability.
• Collaborate strategically: Work cross-functionally with the Platform, Battery Analytics, and Customer Success teams to align on architectural evolution, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Hands-on ownership: Be an active contributor who enjoys diving into automation, debugging complex systems, and continuously improving reliability and performance.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in cloud-native operations, automation, CI/CD, and observability.
• Deep experience managing and scaling Kubernetes clusters (preferably EKS), including custom operator configurations.

• Solid hands-on experience with Pulumi or similar IaC tools.
• Experienced with ArgoCD for automated, auditable deployments.
• Comfortable working with GitLab for code versioning, reviews, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong Python skills with experience in Django or similar frameworks.
• You think in systems, APIs, and processes — designing solutions that balance scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Comfortable with Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentbit, and Opensearch to ensure observability across distributed environments.
• You create clear, structured documentation and communicate proactively across teams to ensure transparency and alignment.
• You like building, fixing, and optimising things yourself — not just designing from afar.
