Hi there!
💻 Please note: While this position is officially marked as Hybrid with a location in Slovenia, the work is FULLY REMOTE with occasional visit to Ljubljana office. This is to ensure we’re connecting with the right talent in our region — applications from outside the Balkan region, unfortunately, cannot be considered.
We’re looking for a Senior DevOps / Cloud Architect to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices. This is a hands-on role that combines day-to-day infrastructure work with architectural decision-making — you’ll manage and improve existing production environments while shaping how we build and deploy new projects from scratch.
You’ll be the go-to person for all things infrastructure. You’ll work closely with our development teams, ensuring our systems are reliable, secure, cost-efficient, and easy to deploy to. This role suits someone who enjoys both the strategic side of cloud architecture and the satisfaction of a clean CI/CD pipeline.
Tech experience we are looking for:
Our development teams work primarily with Ruby on Rails, PHP (Laravel), and Node.js. You don’t need to be a developer in these, but understanding how these applications are built, configured, and deployed will help you design the right infrastructure and CI/CD workflows around them. On the infrastructure side, AWS is our primary cloud (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch), with GCP used specifically for our data warehouse (BigQuery). For smaller or frontend-heavy projects we also use platforms like Vercel. We manage infrastructure as code with Terraform, run CI/CD through GitHub Actions and CircleCI, and are building out observability with Datadog and CloudWatch.
- 5+ years of experience
in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles. - Strong AWS expertise
— hands-on experience with EC2, ECS, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, and related services. - GCP familiarity
— particularly BigQuery and the data warehouse side of things. - Terraform proficiency
— you’ve written and maintained real-world Terraform codebases, not just tutorials. - CI/CD pipeline design
— experience building deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar. - Linux administration
— you’re comfortable in the terminal, debugging services, reading logs, and writing scripts. - Networking and DNS
— VPCs, subnets, security groups, load balancers, DNS management, SSL/TLS — you understand how traffic flows and how domains are configured. - Email and external services
— experience setting up and managing transactional email (SES, SendGrid, etc.), CDNs, caching layers, and the third-party services web applications typically rely on. - Security mindset
— you think about access controls, encryption, and compliance as part of the architecture, not an afterthought. - Monitoring and observability
— experience setting up and using monitoring, logging, and alerting systems. - Clear communication
— you’ll be working with development teams who rely on you. You can explain infrastructure decisions without jargon when needed.
Nice things to have on top:
- Experience with
Ansible
or other configuration management tools. - Familiarity with
Datadog
for monitoring and observability. - Experience with
container orchestration beyond ECS
(Kubernetes / EKS). - Background in
cost optimization strategies
— reserved instances, savings plans, spot instances. - Contributions to
internal developer platforms
or self-service tooling for dev teams.
What we had in mind for you:
- Own and evolve our cloud infrastructure
— primarily on AWS (EC2, ECS, and supporting services), with GCP used for our data warehouse (BigQuery), and platforms like Vercel for smaller projects. - Manage and improve existing projects
— understand current setups, identify areas for improvement, and raise the bar over time. - Standardize infrastructure as code
— we use Terraform for parts of our infra today, but not everything. You’ll drive the shift toward fully codified, reproducible environments. - Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines
that give development teams fast, reliable, and safe paths to production. - Implement and enforce security best practices
— access controls, secret management, vulnerability scanning, compliance posture. - Monitor, alert, and optimize
— set up and maintain observability across our services. Work with developers to diagnose performance issues and keep systems healthy. - Manage cloud costs
— track spend, right-size resources, identify waste, and make sure we’re getting value from what we run. - Manage external services and integrations
— set up and maintain email delivery (SES, SendGrid, or similar), DNS, CDNs, SSL certificates, third-party APIs, and other services that web applications depend on in production. - Architect new projects from the ground up
— as new projects come in, you’ll design the infrastructure, choose the right services, and set up environments from scratch.
