Job description

We're looking for a proactive and experienced Mid-Level DevOps/Cloud Engineer to join our growing team. You'll play a key role in designing, building, and scaling our cloud infrastructure, streamlining our deployment processes, and championing automation best practices. If you thrive in cloud environments, excel at building robust CI/CD pipelines, and enjoy contributing code (primarily TypeScript/Python), this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact.

While this position is open to candidates across the EU, we have a strong preference for someone who can work from our Antwerp office—at least initially—to closely align with our team, including direct collaboration with senior leadership.

Responsibilities

Design, Implement & Manage: Take ownership of our cloud infrastructure (GCP), focusing on scalability, security, cost-efficiency, and reliability.
Build & Optimize CI/CD: Develop, maintain, and enhance our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) for faster, more reliable software delivery.
Automate Everything: Drive automation efforts across deployment, monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure management using IaC.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Write clean, maintainable IaC scripts using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible.
Microservices & Event-Driven Architecture: Design, implement, and manage resilient microservices within an event-driven architecture (e.g., leveraging message queues/streams like Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS). Ensure effective orchestration (Kubernetes), containerization (Docker), fault tolerance, and robust asynchronous communication patterns.
Monitor & Troubleshoot: Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions. Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and potential issues before they impact users.
Collaborate & Advocate: Work closely with development teams to integrate DevOps practices, improve system design, and share knowledge.
Code Contribution: Contribute to automation scripts, internal tooling, and potentially application components using TypeScript and Python.
Security Focus: Implement and advocate for security best practices throughout the infrastructure and deployment lifecycle.

Documentation: Maintain clear documentation for infrastructure, processes, and configurations.

Requirements

Experience: Proven track record with 3-5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
Cloud Expertise: Deep understanding and practical experience with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, (preferably GCP).
CI/CD Mastery: Demonstrable experience building and managing complex CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.
Containerization & Orchestration: Strong proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes (or similar orchestration tools).
Infrastructure as Code: Hands-on experience with IaC tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Pulumi, etc.
Scripting/Coding: Solid scripting and development skills in TypeScript and Python.
Core Concepts: Strong grasp of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, Load Balancing), security principles, and monitoring/observability concepts in cloud environments.
Mindset: A proactive, problem-solving attitude with a strong sense of ownership and excellent communication skills.
EU citizen and based in an EU timezone.

Nice to have

Relevant cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer).
Experience with specific monitoring/observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK Stack).
Experience with serverless architectures.
Database management experience (SQL/NoSQL).
Experience with backend development, particularly Node.js.
