(Senior) DevOps Engineer (f/m/d)

About the role

This role focuses on designing and operating cloud infrastructure at scale, specifically for adtech platforms that handle real-time data streams, ML pipelines, and ad delivery. The work involves managing containerized applications within Kubernetes, utilizing a stack that includes Kafka, Druid, Airflow, and Spark. The goal is to ensure cost efficiency and high performance in a cloud-native setting.

The Senior DevOps Engineer will manage infrastructure within the AWS ecosystem, using services like EKS, DynamoDB, and Lambda, with Terraform for infrastructure as code. A key responsibility is supporting microservices in an event-driven architecture, ensuring the reliability of Go services across distributed environments. The position also involves building and maintaining efficient CI/CD pipelines.

Success in this position means contributing to a robust and scalable infrastructure that serves hundreds of millions of users daily. This includes migrating workloads to self-hosted solutions and introducing new tools to enhance business outcomes. The role is part of a diverse, global team that values direct communication and frequent delivery cycles.

The salary for this role ranges from $90,000 to $135,000 USD annually.
