This role sits within the DevOps team at Deltatre, building and operating the cloud-native infrastructure that supports our software platforms — Kubernetes clusters, Terraform-managed cloud resources, GitOps workflows, and the CI/CD pipelines that engineers across the company rely on daily.
We are hiring at two levels. Both roles require someone who thinks in systems, treats automation as a discipline, and takes ownership of operational reliability. The distinction lies in depth of experience, the complexity of problems owned independently, and the scope of contribution to wider engineering practice.
For this role you must be able to work on a hybrid basis with at least 1 day per week working in our office based in Skopje.
Senior DevOps Engineer
For engineers who own infrastructure end-to-end and shape how it evolves.
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will lead the design of cloud-native architectures, own significant pieces of the Kubernetes and Terraform estate, and provide third-line escalation when complex issues arise. You will work alongside development teams to embed infrastructure thinking into their delivery, and you will spot systemic improvements before they become incidents.
Your day-to-day will include:
- Design and own cloud-native system architectures on Kubernetes, prioritising availability, performance, and operational predictability
- Build and evolve Terraform infrastructure-as-code patterns that engineering teams can use safely without specialist support
- Develop GitOps workflows using Flux (or equivalent) to make application deployment consistent across environments
- Lead complex incident response and run thorough post-mortems that produce systemic fixes, not patches
- Improve system observability — Prometheus, Grafana, Kubernetes dashboards — and the alerting that gates production
- Review IT security exposure regularly and lead the remediation that follows
- Provide third-line support on the on-call roster, with a focus on permanent fixes
- Mentor mid-level engineers and contribute to platform direction across the wider organisation
Mid-Level DevOps Engineer
For engineers with solid foundations who are ready to own meaningful infrastructure work.
As a Mid-Level DevOps Engineer, you will contribute to the same domains as your senior colleagues but with more guidance on architectural decisions. You will take ownership of well-scoped infrastructure work, support production systems, and grow your judgement on what good infrastructure looks like under real operational pressure.
Your day-to-day will include:
- Contribute to cloud-native system architectures on Kubernetes, focused on availability and reliability of the services you support
- Help build and maintain Terraform-managed cloud resources, prioritising consistency across environments
- Maintain GitOps workflows for application deployment using Flux or equivalent tools
- Operate container-based hosting environments — pods, services, deployments
- Participate in incident response, identifying root causes and contributing fixes
- Collaborate with development teams to support clean integration with the infrastructure estate
- Contribute to observability and security improvements within your scope
- Cover your share of the on-call roster
Requirements
What we're looking for at Senior level
You build infrastructure that engineering teams trust without thinking about it. You think in systems and notice failure modes before they fire. You leave every platform you touch more observable and easier to operate than you found it.
Required
- Substantial production experience with Kubernetes at scale — cluster management, networking, pod and service management
- Substantial experience with Terraform or equivalent infrastructure-as-code, including multi-environment patterns
- Experience designing and operating GitOps workflows (Flux, Argo CD, or similar)
- Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures — microservices, service meshes, containerisation
- Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines including Docker builds
- Demonstrated incident management experience — leading complex troubleshooting and post-mortems
- Comfortable communicating infrastructure decisions to non-specialist stakeholders
Valued
- Hands-on experience with NGINX Ingress Controller — path-based routing, TLS termination, load balancing
- Experience with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or comparable CI/CD platforms
- Production experience across multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Solid grasp of IT security principles — network security, IAM, compliance
- Background in streaming, media, or high-concurrency consumer platforms
What we're looking for at Mid level
You take a well-scoped infrastructure problem and run with it. You ask good questions early, flag risks clearly, and notice when your own work could be done more safely or more cleanly next time.
Required
- Production experience with Kubernetes — cluster management, networking fundamentals, pod and service management
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code concepts (Terraform, OpenTofu, or similar)
- Experience or familiarity with GitOps workflows
- Working understanding of cloud-native architectures
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines including Docker builds
- Good troubleshooting skills under operational pressure
- Comfortable working with development teams to support clean integration
Valued
- Hands-on experience with Terraform or OpenTofu
- Familiarity with Flux or equivalent GitOps tools
- Experience configuring NGINX Ingress Controller
- Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or similar
- Exposure to at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Foundational understanding of IT security principles
Who Thrives Here
DevOps work at Deltatre exists where ambiguity meets responsibility. The infrastructure you build and operate is what other engineers rely on to ship product, and the people who do this work well treat that responsibility seriously without performing it. You take quality and reliability as personal standards, not abstractions. You ask good questions about the actual operational reality — not the diagram on the whiteboard — and you push back when something doesn't make sense.
This is an environment that rewards initiative and depth of thought. If you find satisfaction in the moments when an incident reveals something the team didn't know about its own systems, and in the discipline of leaving things slightly more observable than you found them, this is likely a good fit.
Not sure which level is right for you? Apply anyway and tell us where you think you sit. We'll figure it out together.
Process and what to expect
- Introductory conversation:
this is a step for us to get to know each other better, and for us to answer all questions you might have around Deltatre.
- Take-Home Assessment:
we have a coding challenge waiting for you, to grab a sense of what you'll be dealing with. This step is the entry point in our process, and mandatory to acccess to the followng steps.
- 1-hour Technical round of Interview:
we will use your Assessment as a starting point for a discussion with Senior team members in the video team. You will do code review and discuss additional technical aspects in details. This conversation, combined with the output of the assessment will allow us to make a solid technical evaluation.
- 1-hour Competency Based Interview:
we are going to ask you some situational questions around how you deal with real-life scenarios at work. Easier doing it, more than explaining it!
If any of these formats would be difficult for you, tell us — we adjust regularly and can usually accommodate.
