DevOps Engineer

Freelance DevOps Engineer (Remote / EU) – High-Growth B2B SaaS Platform

We are working with a fast-scaling B2B SaaS company operating in the industrial technology space. The platform supports complex operational planning and data-driven decision-making for enterprise clients across Europe and beyond.

We are currently looking for a freelance DevOps Engineer to help strengthen and scale our cloud infrastructure, improve deployment workflows, and support the reliability of a rapidly growing platform.

About the environment

You will be working with a modern, cloud-based SaaS product that sits at the intersection of:

• Enterprise system integrations
• Data-heavy backend services
• API-driven architecture
• Complex B2B customer environments

The platform is already in production with active customers and is currently entering a high-growth scaling phase, where reliability, automation, and operational maturity are becoming critical.

What you will be doing

You will act as a key freelance DevOps partner, helping with:

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Improve and maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP environment)
• Support scaling of services as customer usage grows
• Implement infrastructure-as-code where needed

CI/CD & Deployments

• Optimise and stabilise deployment pipelines
• Improve release processes and rollback strategies
• Reduce friction between development and production environments

Observability & Reliability

• Strengthen logging, monitoring, and alerting systems
• Improve system visibility and incident response processes
• Help define reliability standards for production services

Platform & Integration Support

• Support stability of API-driven integrations with external enterprise systems
• Improve resilience of data flows and backend processes
• Help ensure consistent behaviour across environments

Operational Maturity

• Contribute to improving security practices (access control, secrets, etc.)
• Support best practices for scaling SaaS operations in an enterprise context

What we are looking for

• Strong experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering / SRE roles
• Solid background in cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation
• Familiarity with containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes or similar)
• Strong understanding of observability tooling (logging, metrics, alerting)
• Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, product-focused environment
• Pragmatic mindset — focused on reliability, scalability, and delivery speed

Nice to have

• Experience in SaaS B2B environments
• Exposure to ERP or enterprise system integrations
• Experience in scaling early-stage or growth-stage platforms
• Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, etc.)
• Experience with data-heavy or event-driven architectures

What makes this interesting

• You will be working on a real, production-scale SaaS platform, not a greenfield setup
• High-impact role with direct influence on stability and scaling decisions
• Opportunity to shape DevOps foundations during a key growth phase
• Close collaboration with engineering and product teams
• Flexible freelance engagement (remote within EU time zones preferred)

Engagement

• Freelance / contract role
• Remote (EU time zones preferred)
• Flexible scope depending on experience and availability
• Start: immediate or short notice preferred

Ideal mindset

We are looking for someone who enjoys:

“Making complex systems boring, stable, and scalable so product teams can move fast without fear.”
