DevOps Engineer

We are adding a DevOps Engineer to our operations team. We are moving workloads from VMs to Kubernetes and want someone who has done that kind of migration before. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in South Africa, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

What you'll be doing

• Script repetitive tasks in Bash, Python or PowerShell
• Create and maintain Docker base images and keep them patched
• Participate in on-call and incident response
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or Azure DevOps
• Set up monitoring and alerting in Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or CloudWatch

Requirements

• 3+ years in DevOps, systems engineering or a related infrastructure role
• Solid Linux administration and networking basics (DNS, load balancers, TLS)
• Strong Terraform or CloudFormation skills

Benefits

• Wellness allowance
• Flexible hours
• Monthly internet allowance
• Annual team retreat
