We're looking for a proactive and experienced Mid-Level DevOps/Cloud Engineer to join our growing team. You'll play a key role in designing, building, and scaling our cloud infrastructure, streamlining our deployment processes, and championing automation best practices. If you thrive in cloud environments, excel at building robust CI/CD pipelines, and enjoy contributing code (primarily TypeScript/Python), this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact.

While this position is open to candidates across the EU, we have a strong preference for someone who can work from our Antwerp office—at least initially—to closely align with our team, including direct collaboration with senior leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Development & Automation (:50% Focus): Dedicate a significant portion of your time (estimated 50%) to hands-on software development. This includes designing, building, testing, and maintaining automation scripts, internal tools,platform enhancements, and potentially application components using TypeScript and Python
  • Design, Implement & Manage: Take ownership of our cloud infrastructure (GCP), focusing on scalability, security, cost-efficiency, and reliability
  • Build & Optimize CI/CD: Develop, maintain, and enhance our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) for faster, more reliable software delivery
  • Automate Everything: Drive automation efforts across deployment, monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure management using IaC
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Write clean, maintainable IaC scripts using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible
  • Microservices & Event-Driven Architecture: Design, implement, and manage resilient microservices within an event-driven architecture (e.g., leveraging message queues/streams like Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS). Ensure effective orchestration (Kubernetes), containerization (Docker), fault tolerance, and robust asynchronous communication patterns
  • Monitor & Troubleshoot: Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions. Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and potential issues before they impact users
  • Collaborate & Advocate: Work closely with development teams to integrate DevOps practices, improve system design, and share knowledge
  • Code Contribution: Contribute to automation scripts, internal tooling, and potentially application components using TypeScript and Python
  • Security Focus: Implement and advocate for security best practices throughout the infrastructure and deployment lifecycle
  • Documentation: Maintain clear documentation for infrastructure, processes, and configurations


Requirements

  • Experience: Proven track record with 3-5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
  • Strong Software Development Skills (TypeScript & Python): Proven experience in software development beyond simple scripting. Must be proficient in writing, testing, and maintaining clean, robust, production-quality code in both TypeScript and Python. Ability to contribute effectively to shared codebases and understand software design patterns is essential, as development tasks will constitute approximately 50% of this role
  • Cloud Expertise: Deep understanding and practical experience with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, (preferably GCP)
  • CI/CD Mastery: Demonstrable experience building and managing complex CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Strong proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes (or similar orchestration tools)
  • Infrastructure as Code: Hands-on experience with IaC tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Pulumi, etc
  • Scripting/Coding: Solid scripting and development skills in TypeScript and Python
    • Core Concepts: Strong grasp of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, Load Balancing), security principles, and monitoring/observability concepts in cloud environments
  • Mindset: A proactive, problem-solving attitude with a strong sense of ownership and excellent communication skills
  • EU citizen and based in an EU timezone

Nice to have

  • Relevant cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer)
  • Experience with specific monitoring/observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK Stack)
  • Experience with serverless architectures
  • Database management experience (SQL/NoSQL)
  • Experience with backend development, particularly Node.js
