Senior DevOps Engineer (Infrastructure & DB Automation)
Description
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to lead the automation of our hybrid infrastructure in our offices in Warsaw/Poland or Belgrade/Serbia. You will be responsible for managing a diverse environment that includes both AWS cloud services and on-premise bare-metal servers. A significant part of this role involves evolving our database operations—moving away from manual tasks toward a fully automated, scalable, and observable data platform.
Responsibilities
- Design and maintain IaC for both AWS (RDS, EC2) and physical bare-metal servers using Terraform/Terragrunt and Ansible.
- Develop custom tools and scripts (using Python or Go) to automate complex workflows that off-the-shelf tools can't handle.
- Automate provisioning, configuration tuning, and schema migrations. Work closely with DBAs to eliminate manual toil through code.
- Build and maintain high-fidelity monitoring for databases and system health using the Prometheus stack.
- Centralize secret management and access control using HashiCorp Vault.
- Act as a subject matter expert, documentation enthusiast, and mentor for the team as we evolve our infrastructure practices.
Requirements
- 3+ years in DevOps/SRE with a focus on infrastructure automation.
- Proven experience managing both Cloud (AWS) and On-prem (Linux bare-metal) environments.
- Expert-level knowledge of Ansible and Terraform/Terragrunt.
- Strong proficiency in Python or Go for infrastructure scripting and internal tooling.
- Deep understanding of Linux systems, disk I/O optimization, and networking.
- Hands-on experience with K8s (EKS or self-managed) (Nice to Have).
- Experience (or a strong desire to lead the transition) of running stateful workloads (Databases) inside Kubernetes using Operators or Helm (Nice to Have).
- A passion for teaching and sharing K8s/Automation best practices with colleagues (Nice to Have).
Benefits
- Learning and development opportunities and interesting challenging tasks
- Relocation package (tickets, staying in a hotel for 2 weeks)
- Opportunity to develop language skills and partial compensation for the cost of language classes
- Birthday celebration present
