About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our on-prem and cloud-adjacent infrastructure. You’ll work across bare-metal, virtualization, and Kubernetes to keep our platforms fast, reliable, and secure.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and operate bare-metal and Proxmox clusters running Ubuntu.

• Operate Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Redis in production (scaling, backups, failover, observability).
• Build CI/CD with Azure DevOps (pipelines, environments, artefacts, release strategies).
• Automate everything: provisioning, configuration, and day-2 ops (prefer Terraform/Ansible or similar).
• Implement monitoring/alerting (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana), SLOs, logging, and on-call readiness.
• Champion security by default: secrets management, patching, least privilege, compliance basics.
• Partner with developers to improve deployability, performance, and incident response.
