The Role
A strong, cloud-native DevOps Engineer who can own delivery pipelines, shape technical decisions and bring mature engineering disciplines to a fast-moving environment.
You'll join our team as a full-time, in-office DevOps Engineer responsible for building, maintaining and improving; infrastructure, tooling and automation that power various platforms. This role is hand-on and highly collaborative: you'll work closely with developers, architects and product teams to ensure the systems you are working on are reliable, scalable and efficient.

- Shift-left test and CI-driven quality gates
- Observability (metrics, logs, tracing)
- Continuous delivery patterns and deployment automation
You'll also be a key contributor in technical architectural discussions, while not an official decision maker, your technical insights will help influence major engineering choices.
