About the role We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our DevOps team, reporting to the DevOps Engineering Manager. The team is cross-functional and mission-oriented, partnering closely with R&D and product teams to keep our platform reliable and our delivery workflows fast. Together, you’ll raise the industry standard for Continuous Delivery. Your focus will be on hands-on building and enablement. You’ll spend your time improving the systems and tooling that help other teams ship safely and operate confidently in production. Our mission: enhance and maintain a high-scale SaaS platform by streamlining the delivery lifecycle, improving developer experience, and advancing monitoring and observability. Recent and upcoming work includes Kubernetes/GitOps platform improvements, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation, CI/CD uplift, and observability stack evolution. A typical week might include
  • Build and improve Kubernetes and GitOps-based tooling so teams can deliver faster and with less risk
  • Design and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) for repeatable, reliable environments
  • Strengthen CI/CD practices and tooling to shorten feedback loops and reduce manual work
  • Improve monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry) so issues are found earlier and resolved faster
  • Partner across R&D and product to align on shared ownership, reliability, and operational standards
  • Mentor and support engineers so teams adopt best practices and get unblocked quickly
  • Protect production systems by improving health, stability, and incident readiness over time
  • What You’ll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience with DevOps and cloud technologies.
  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes and containerization.
  • Strong knowledge of at least one major public cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) experience with more than one is a plus.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar).
  • Strong familiarity with CI/CD practices and tooling.
  • Experience with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry).
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Bash, Python).
  • Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills in distributed, cross-functional teams.
  • Nice-to-have
  • Experience with Crossplane and Argo projects (e.g., Argo CD, Argo Workflows).
  • Knowledge of event-driven architectures (e.g., RabbitMQ).
  • Familiarity with databases such as MongoDB or other NoSQL systems.
  • Programming experience in Go or Node.js.
  • Why you'll love this role
  • Work on a DevOps-native product and platform where Kubernetes and GitOps aren’t “nice to have” — they’re core
  • Make visible, compounding impact by helping multiple teams ship and operate more effectively
  • Shape standards and direction for delivery, developer experience, and observability across the organization
  • Join a supportive, skilled team with room to learn, grow, and stay close to a fast-moving DevOps ecosystem
  • Work setup
  • Location: Poland (anywhere in Poland)
  • Work setup: Fully remote
  • Team: Distributed across Israel and Eastern Europe
  • Contract type: Permanent employment only — Umowa o pracę (UoP). Not available as a B2B/contract.
