Senior DevOps / Platform Lead | Kubernetes, Terraform, observability and disaster recovery | Open to remote work from Iran
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on platform lead with around seven years of engineering experience, including four in DevOps. At Smartech, I lead eight engineers across five projects, each with a dedicated Kubernetes cluster of at least 20 worker nodes. My work includes phased modernization of legacy VM-based services, centralized VictoriaMetrics monitoring, reusable GitLab CI/CD templates, autoscaling and resource optimization.
I designed and coordinated a project migration from Hetzner to Iranian clouds involving approximately 20 TB of Elasticsearch and 10 TB of StarRocks data. During Internet disruption, we restored services from backups. I also built a production Kubernetes operator in Go that calculates and applies service reconfiguration when pod counts change.
At Mohaymen, I helped modernize critical systems, managed SQM infrastructure across around 100 servers, and migrated Zabbix monitoring to Prometheus and Grafana. I also provide project-based remote DevOps services to rabt.host, where I built Kubernetes infrastructure, Ansible automation, monitoring, deployment environments and proxies.
Based in Iran and open to full-time or part-time remote opportunities. English: B2; German: A2.
