Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.
Job Description
Platform Golden Path:
- Build the golden path that will allow us to add new micro-services to our stack in a matter of minutes.
- Improve existing automations (pipelines, IaC) to be able to release more often, with more confidence.
- Migrate legacy pipelines.
- Enhance the developper workstation
- build our agentic platform providing AI capabilities to our clients
Reliability SRE practice:
- Improve dashboarding and alerting using Instana / Grafana.
- Help reduce toil by automating responses to recurrent requests.
Run the platform:
Shared incident response, platform maintenance on the various components. Day-to-day support for 8+ development teams.
Qualifications
Must have:
- 5+ years in DevOps, platform or SRE roles, including real production ownership.
- Kubernetes in depth. Workload scheduling, resource requests and limits, probes, disruption budgets, security contexts, ingress, and the ability to debug a failing rollout.
- Helm and Kustomize. You have designed a chart that other teams depend on, and lived with the consequences. Or you have built Kustomize bases and overlays that several applications deploy from.
- CI/CD pipeline engineering at scale. GitLab CI is strongly preferred. The transferable part is having built shared, versioned pipeline abstractions used by many repositories.
- Docker image authoring: multi-stage builds, small non-root images, build caching, registries.
- Infrastructure as code. Terraform and Ansible: roles and modules you wrote and maintained.
- Automation in Python, Bash or other languages. Clean, tested, reviewable code. Part of this platform is Python / Bash scripting, and it is held to the same standard as application code.
- Observability fundamentals. Metrics, logs and traces, how to use them, how to troubleshoot an app misbehaving.
- Git and code review as a discipline. Trunk-adjacent branching, conventional commits, small reviewable changes.
Strongly desirable:
- HashiCorp Vault and secret management patterns in Kubernetes.
- Prometheus and Grafana as an author: PromQL, recording rules, dashboards as code.
- Supply-chain security: SBOM generation, CI checks.
- Kafka operations (topics, ACLs, consumer lag) and enough SQL, Oracle and MSSQL to be useful during an incident.
- Jenkins pipelines knowledge.
- Experience supporting Java / Spring Boot and Angular delivery specifically.
- Working effectively with AI coding tools on real infrastructure code, as an accelerator you keep under review.
- Experience defining and operating service level indicators (SLIs), service level objectives (SLOs) and alerting strategies.
What We Offer
- Involvement in a strategic, innovation-focused project with strong business impact
- Exposure to modern technologies and cloud-based architecture
- Cross-border collaboration with teams in CER countries
- A supportive and agile working environment
- Opportunities for growth and development in a fast-paced, high-impact area
