About The Position

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be part of the Infrastructure Team responsible for Boats Group’s internal developer platform. The platform provides self-service infrastructure for 500+ repositories across 13 international marketplace brands, running on AWS with EKS as the primary compute target. You’ll own and evolve the platform that engineering teams use every day: Kubernetes clusters, GitOps delivery pipelines, CI/CD automation, observability, Cloudflare edge infrastructure, and Terraform/Atlantis-based infrastructure provisioning. You will also drive active migrations from legacy infrastructure (Jenkins, ECS, CloudFormation) to the modern platform. A successful candidate is someone who thinks in systems — you understand how a Helm chart, an ArgoCD ApplicationSet, a Terraform module, and a GitHub Actions workflow connect to deliver a service from PR to production. You’re comfortable operating at scale (200+ deployed services, multi-cluster EKS) and you know when to automate and when to simplify. Boats Group is a heavy AI adopter — LLMs and AI coding tools are part of everyday engineering work, and we expect you to bring real experience using them. Every day is different: one day you’re debugging a Karpenter node scaling issue, the next you’re writing Terraform modules with Atlantis PR workflows, the next you’re migrating a Jenkins pipeline to GitHub Actions. You won’t be bored.

Requirements

Kubernetes — EKS operations, pod/node troubleshooting, RBAC, networking
GitOps — ArgoCD or Flux; reconciliation model, sync failure debugging
IaC — Terraform/Terragrunt at scale; Atlantis PR-based workflows
CI/CD — GitHub Actions (or similar) reusable workflows, not just consuming pipelines
AWS — Multi-account, IAM/OIDC, EKS, ECR, RDS, S3, SQS, VPC, CloudWatch
Helm — Writing and maintaining production charts, values layering, template debugging
Observability — Prometheus/Grafana stack; OpenTelemetry, Mimir, or Loki a plus
SRE practices — SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident response, blameless postmortems
AI / LLM fluency — Daily use of AI coding tools; prompt engineering, code generation, critical evaluation of LLM output
