Medior DevOps/Cloud Engineer

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.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Remote-friendly work environment with flexibility.
• Annual company gatherings and regular team-building activities.
• Autonomy in your work and technology choices.
