This is a great opportunity for an experienced Platform/DevOps Engineer who enjoys building things, improving developer experience, and turning infrastructure challenges into scalable platform solutions.

You will work with modern cloud-native technologies including AWS, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Crossplane, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, while also using AI tools to make engineering and automation more efficient.

What you’ll work on

• Build and improve an internal platform used by engineering teams
• Develop GitOps-based deployment and infrastructure automation
• Work with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) environments
• Build and maintain infrastructure using Terraform / OpenTofu
• Work with Argo CD and modern GitOps practices
• Develop reusable CI/CD workflows and platform tooling
• Work with GitHub Actions and GitHub-based engineering workflows
• Improve developer self-service and developer experience
• Automate infrastructure and operational processes
• Use modern AI coding assistants and agentic AI workflows in daily engineering work
• Collaborate with Platform, CloudOps, DevSecOps, FinOps, and SRE teams
• Contribute to technical POCs and introduce new tools and engineering practices

What we’re looking for

• 7+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or similar roles
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS
• Strong knowledge of Kubernetes / EKS
• Hands-on experience with Argo CD and GitOps
• Experience with Crossplane

• Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or OpenTelemetry
• SRE practices: SLOs, SLIs, incident management
• FinOps and cloud cost optimization experience

Why join?

You’ll have an opportunity to work on a real platform engineering challenge rather than routine infrastructure support. The role combines cloud, Kubernetes, GitOps, developer experience, automation, and AI with room to influence technical decisions and introduce new approaches.

You’ll work with experienced engineers in an international environment and build solutions that are used by other engineering teams at scale.

📍 The position is fully remote, but candidates must be currently based in Ukraine.
