The Opportunity Max Facilitation is proud to partner with an ambitious, rapidly expanding European B2B SaaS platform solving global IT operations and logistics challenges for modern enterprises. By automating hardware deployment, asset tracking, and lifecycle management across 100+ countries, we enable distributed organizations to focus on strategy rather than operational overhead.
With significant market traction and continuous growth, we are building a forward-thinking, high-impact team to reshape global workforce operations. Role & Strategic Context We are looking for our first full-time in-house DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and architectural reliability.
The successful candidate demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to modern infrastructure by actively exploring and integrating AI-driven tools, intelligent automation, and LLM-assisted workflows to optimize operational efficiency.
Up to this point, our infrastructure has been supported by external contractors. While functional, we are now at a pivotal scaling stage where we need a foundational builder—someone who won’t just keep the lights on, but who will design, implement, and document robust, scalable DevOps processes from scratch. You will lay the groundwork today so that our platform and future engineering teams can scale seamlessly tomorrow. What You’ll Do * Build Scalable Foundations: Design, deploy, and maintain scalable, secure infrastructure on AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, Route53, CloudWatch, VPC, SQS) using IaC tools (Terraform or CloudFormation). * Container Orchestration: Manage and optimize our Kubernetes (EKS) clusters, containerized application environments (Docker), and microservices deployment strategies. * CI/CD Optimization: Streamline build, test, and release workflows across our deployment pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar). * Establish Operational Rigor: Define and implement long-term processes for observability, system health monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK). * Database & Routing Management: Oversee database performance, backups, tuning, and scaling (PostgreSQL/MySQL), alongside DNS management, SSL/TLS certificates, and load balancing (Nginx, ALB). * Drive Efficiency & Cost Optimization: Lead initiatives around AWS cost optimization, security compliance, proactive monitoring, and future-ready automation (including AI-driven tooling and workflows). * Participate in on-call rotation and incident response when necessary.
Who You Are * Proven Hyper-Growth / Scale-Up Experience: You have 5+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure role, ideally as an early infrastructure hire who has navigated a rapidly scaling environment. * Architectural & Process Mindset: You naturally think beyond quick fixes. You build scalable systems, write clear documentation, and structure workflows meant to support future engineering growth. * Deep AWS & Kubernetes Expertise: Hands-on experience operating production environments on AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS, VPC) and containerizing microservices architectures. * Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficient with Terraform and/or CloudFormation. * Strong Scripting Skills: Fluent in Python, Bash, or Go. * Forward-Thinking Integrator: Curious about modern tooling, AI-assisted engineering workflows, and pushing the boundaries of traditional DevOps automation. * Exceptional Communicator: Strong clarity in technical discussions, cross-team collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Nice-to-Haves * Prior experience with PHP / Laravel web frameworks. * Experience with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, FluxCD). * Exposure to security and compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001). * Familiarity with AWS cost exploration and resource optimization tools.
