DevOps Engineer II (Compute)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a DevOps Engineer II (Compute) based in Brazil.

As a DevOps Engineer II, you will design, build, and operate reliable cloud infrastructure and shared compute platforms that support high-quality software delivery. You will work extensively with AWS, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and modern GitOps practices to create scalable and resilient environments. The role combines hands-on engineering with automation, troubleshooting, observability, and developer experience improvements. You will partner closely with engineering teams to turn application requirements into secure, reliable, and cost-conscious infrastructure solutions. You will contribute to production reliability through monitoring, incident response, staged deployments, and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to grow as a versatile, polyglot engineer while working with cloud-native technologies in a distributed global team. You will also have the chance to leverage AI tools and modern engineering practices to improve workflows and operational efficiency.

• Design, build, operate, and continuously improve reliable cloud infrastructure and shared compute platforms using AWS.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform and Terragrunt, using reusable modules and consistent engineering standards.
• Deploy and operate containerized workloads on Kubernetes and Amazon EKS using GitOps practices and ArgoCD.
• Automate recurring operational activities through maintainable code and tooling that improves reliability, repeatability, and engineering self-service.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, capacity, database connectivity, and deployment issues across development and production environments.
• Use metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to monitor system health, investigate incidents, identify root causes, and validate infrastructure improvements.
• Participate in code reviews and staged deployments, testing changes in lower environments before promoting them to production.
• Partner with application engineering teams to understand technical requirements and deliver secure, scalable, reliable, and cost-conscious infrastructure solutions.
• Document operational procedures, system architecture, troubleshooting guidance, and technical knowledge to enable effective team collaboration and self-service.
• Participate in the DevOps on-call rotation, respond to incidents, and implement follow-up improvements designed to prevent recurring failures.
• Contribute to improving developer experience by identifying friction in testing, deployment, local development, and operational workflows.
• Design and deliver small technical initiatives or epics end-to-end while maintaining strong standards for quality, performance, and reliability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 2–4 years of professional experience in software engineering, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, or a closely related field.
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Go, Python, Java, TypeScript, or Ruby, with a demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Comfortable working across unfamiliar systems and writing maintainable automation to improve operational efficiency.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Linux, and core cloud concepts including compute, networking, IAM, storage, and managed databases.
• Practical experience with containers and Kubernetes, including deploying or operating workloads on Amazon EKS or a comparable managed Kubernetes platform.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and modern delivery workflows using technologies such as Terraform, Terragrunt, Git, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI-powered tools to improve engineering workflows, streamline execution, or enhance technical outputs.
• Ability to estimate, design, and deliver technical initiatives independently from planning through completion.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with distributed engineering teams.
• Curiosity, initiative, and an ownership mindset when investigating and solving complex technical problems.
• Genuine interest in cloud infrastructure, compute platforms, automation, and operational reliability.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Broad technical curiosity and a demonstrated willingness to experiment, learn new technologies, and take on unfamiliar challenges.
• Willingness to learn Ruby, which is the primary technology used across the broader engineering environment.

Benefits

• Compensation starting at $4,800 USD per month.
• Fully remote opportunity for professionals based in Brazil.
• Flexible, take-as-needed scheduled time off and paid holidays.
• Company-provided MacBook ready from day one.
• $500 workspace stipend to help create an effective home working environment.
• Equity opportunity in a rapidly growing, venture-backed organization.
• Opportunity to work with a globally distributed team spanning multiple countries and cultures.
• Support for learning Ruby, including potential mentoring from experienced engineers or access to a paid online course completed during working hours as part of onboarding.
• Culture focused on innovation, collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement.
• Opportunity to work on cloud-native infrastructure, compute platforms, automation, reliability, and modern engineering practices.
• Strong focus on professional growth and supporting team members in developing their careers.
• Inclusive and equal-opportunity environment committed to diversity and belonging.
