Our requirements

  • In-depth Linux administration: systemd and services, processes and resource limits, storage and filesystems, kernel tuning, and troubleshooting CPU, memory, disk and network performance.
  • Strong networking fundamentals (DNS, TLS, L4/L7 load balancing).
  • Solid database fundamentals: SQL, and how databases work under the hood (WAL, replication, consistency, backup and recovery).
  • Comfortable with Bash/Python for everyday scripting and operations.
  • You learn unfamiliar technologies quickly, building on solid fundamentals, and often while already working with them.
  • You work comfortably in English, written and spoken.
  • You also have hands-on experience with most of these (you don't need all of them):
  • Owned production systems on a public cloud (Azure and/or GCP), leading incidents through to the fix.
  • Production Kubernetes: networking, resources and scheduling, upgrades, troubleshooting.
  • Responsible for stateful systems in production, such as databases or message brokers.
  • Designed IaC and CI/CD/GitOps tooling that other teams rely on (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, ArgoCD, GitLab CI).
  • Hands-on observability: metrics, logs, and alerts that people actually act on (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).

Optional

  • High-traffic, real-time systems, where latency and throughput are part of every decision.
  • Performance tuning across the stack (OS, network, databases, application runtimes), from profiling to measurable improvement.
  • Deep expertise in Kafka or a specific database engine (e.g. PostgreSQL, ClickHouse).
  • Istio or Kong (service mesh / API gateway).
  • FinOps: cost visibility and allocation, and capacity and commitment planning (reservations, savings plans).
  • Enterprise security and compliance requirements.

Your responsibilities

  • Own the reliability, scalability and cost of production infrastructure on Azure and GCP: Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, networking, and the CI/CD and GitOps tooling around them. Design and deliver changes to it end-to-end, from the first idea to running in production.
  • Run and evolve multi-terabyte databases and data-streaming systems that a real-time, multi-tenant product depends on, covering capacity, replication, upgrades and recovery.
  • Plan capacity ahead of growth and seasonal retail peaks, so new customers and peak traffic land smoothly.
  • Shape how traffic reaches and moves through the platform: API gateway, service mesh, edge (CDN, WAF), and secure connectivity for internal services and customers.
  • Respond to production incidents across the whole stack, from network and OS to databases and applications, and turn what you learn into lasting improvements to the platform.
  • Work with backend and security engineers on architecture and security, including access control, hardening, vulnerability remediation and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 requirements.
  • Challenges you'll have a chance to tackle with the team:
  • Peaks across many brands at once. Retail peaks like Black Friday hit many global brands at the same time, and the platform has to absorb the spike in real time.
  • Failures customers don't notice. Engineer the platform so that losing a node, a zone or a dependency doesn't affect customers, and systems recover on their own.
  • Observability at scale. A self-hosted observability stack (Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Grafana) taking in over 20 TB of logs a day and around 50 million active metric series. The goal is sharper signals and faster incident response.
