Qualification
Required
5+ years in DevOps / SRE / SysOps / Platform Engineering, with significant ownership of production AWS environments
Deep, hands-on AWS. Real depth across IAM, compute, networking, managed databases, storage, secrets, and observability, not just 'I've used the console.'
Expert in Infrastructure as Code, specifically Terraform or OpenTofu, covering modules, remote state, drift management, and managing multiple isolated environments from one codebase
Strong security instincts. You design least-privilege by default, think in blast radius, and have managed secrets and credentials for systems that matter. You can explain why a permission exists
CI/CD fluency, ideally GitHub Actions, including OIDC / keyless cloud authentication
Production operations maturity. Observability, alerting, incident response, backups, and disaster recovery, all as lived experience
A bias for shipping. You deliver, you don't just advise, bringing a track record of actually shipping hardening, migration, and reliability work, not only designing it
Self-sufficient in a lean team. Comfortable owning large areas independently on a small platform team, without needing a big platform org around you to be effective
Remote-first working style. Clear written communication, self-direction, and comfort owning outcomes across time zones
Ability to work with significant overlap (at least 4–6 hours) with European business hours to collaborate effectively with the team
Preferred
Experience in FinTech, payments, banking, or another regulated/high-trust environment (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or similar compliance exposure)
Web3 / crypto infrastructure experience running nodes, managing keys and HSMs, and securing systems that touch on-chain assets
Threat modeling, security audits, or formal incident-response leadership
Database operations depth (Postgres tuning, zero-downtime migrations)
Kubernetes, service mesh, or large-scale container orchestration
Cost-optimization wins you can point to
Network architecture at scale: multi-account/Transit Gateway or VPC peering, private egress design, or hardening east-west traffic between services
Exposure to a second cloud (GCP/Azure) or genuine multi-cloud networking, useful as a signal of provider-agnostic IaC and network design, even though our stack is AWS-first today
Benefits
Flexible work schedule so you can balance life and work on your terms
25 days off per year
Fully-remote role
