We are launching our entire platform from scratch — fully cloud-native, automated, and built on top of DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code principles.
Our stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Redis, RabbitMQ, microservices, Node.js, Pixi.js.
We are a small and fast-growing engineering team, and we are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who will own the whole cloud infrastructure and shape the technical direction of the platform.
