DevOps Engineer

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Engineering team. The role covers the full scope of day-to-day infrastructure operations – Kubernetes, CI/CD, databases, observability, and networking – while also contributing to a new direction we are actively building: AI Operations. You will work in a real production environment of a growing fintech company.
AI Operations does not mean adding an LLM plugin to a pipeline. It means thoughtfully automating what is currently done by hand: infrastructure change reviews, runbook generation, anomaly detection in deployments, and tooling for the AI services our product teams are building.

Tech Stack: AWS · GCP · Terraform · Kubernetes · EKS · Karpenter · Helm · GitLab CI/CD · ArgoCD · VictoriaMetrics · Grafana · Prometheus · ELK / OpenSearch · Jaeger · Istio · PostgreSQL / Aurora · Redis · MongoDB · Kafka · Python · Go · Bash · Ansible · Cloudflare.

Your Mission

Kubernetes & Platform

• Maintain and upgrade Managed EKS clusters, develop and maintain Helm charts, CRDs, and Kubernetes operators.

• Administer Istio service mesh and participate in resilience testing, including chaos tests as part of DORA compliance.

CI/CD & Automation

• Own and develop CI/CD pipelines in GitLab and manage GitOps workflows via ArgoCD.

• Write automation and tooling in Python, Go, and Bash.

Reliability & Observability

• Operate AWS Aurora PostgreSQL/RDS, AWS Managed Redis, Atlas MongoDB, and Kafka clusters, with monitoring, tested backup strategies, and documented recovery procedures.

• Maintain the observability stack — VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Prometheus, centralized logging via ELK/OpenSearch, and distributed tracing (Jaeger, APM, OpenTelemetry).

AI Operations

• Integrate LLM-based tooling into CI/CD for automated review of infrastructure changes, runbook generation, and deployment anomaly detection.

• Build and support infrastructure for internal AI services and agent workflows, including management of LLM gateways, model proxies, and cost allocation across teams.

Your Profile

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud / DevOps / SRE, including designing complex, scalable high-load services.

• Strong command of Linux systems and a good understanding of networking basics.

• Production Kubernetes experience (EKS preferred), with AWS as primary cloud provider; GCP is a plus.

• GitLab CI/CD: writing pipelines, managing runners, troubleshooting; Helm: authoring and maintaining charts.

• Terraform for infrastructure as code (Pulumi is a plus).

• PostgreSQL / Aurora: administration, monitoring, and replication concepts.

• Python or Go for scripting and automation, plus Shell/Bash scripting.

• Comfortable communicating clearly in English, both written and spoken. 

Nice to Have:

• Experience developing Kubernetes operators and working with Karpenter, ArgoCD, and Istio (traffic policies, service mesh concepts).

• Production experience with Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, or Elasticsearch, and familiarity with VictoriaMetrics/pgwatch.

• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs or AI agent infrastructure.

• Understanding of DORA requirements and resilience testing practices.
