DevOps Tech Lead / Infra Architect / DevOps Team Lead

This is more than just a senior engineering role - you will become the face of infrastructure within the company, shaping the strategy, implementing best practices, and influencing the product direction. What You Will Do: Design infrastructure for high-load distributed systems (from bare-metal to Kubernetes in the cloud). Take ownership of the platform: its reliability, performance, fault tolerance, and security. Lead the DevOps team: mentor, support, develop, and involve engineers in architectural and product decisions. Build and execute infrastructure roadmaps (migrations, high availability, observability, security, etc.). Collaborate with development teams and product managers, participating in planning and implementation of changes. Participate in incident management — both technical (infrastructure failures) and process-related. Manage projects: planning, task decomposition, progress tracking, and removing blockers.

Proven leadership experience: driving projects, managing people, participating in hiring and developing engineers. Strong systems thinking: ability to design architecture, foresee the impact of decisions, simplify complexity. Ownership mindset: solving problems rather than assigning blame. Proactivity: you do not wait for tasks — you shape the vision and lead the team toward it. Nice to Have: Experience building and maintaining high-load / high-availability products.
