If you're a scrappy engineer who wants a role with autonomy & impact, this role might just be for you!

As a Senior DevOps Engineer , you’ll be at the core of our client's infrastructure. They are building a lightning fast, highly maintainable microservice architecture at global scale. Their performance directly impacts clients’ application performance — uptime, latency, and resilience are part of their product’s promise.

You’ll play a key role in the development of CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments, enabling engineers and researchers to ship securely, recover quickly, and move with confidence. You’ll build the systems that make rapid iteration safe — from deployment workflows and rollout strategies to observability, alerting, and incident response.

• You act with ownership : You take full responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. You step into gaps, solve problems decisively, and keep standards high.

• You bring high energy and clear thinking : You approach challenges with curiosity, positivity, and focus — and you keep momentum even when things get hard.

• You care about the work, not the ego : You argue the case when it matters, back your thinking with evidence, and adapt quickly when new information comes in.

• You’re multi-dimensional : You're more than just your technical skills — you're intellectually curious, open-minded, and constantly sharpening your edge.

Your experience:

• Demonstrable experience working with GCP or AWS
