Requirements
- 5+ years professional Linux sysadmin / DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering.
- Docker fluency: writing, debugging, and optimizing Dockerfiles and multi-service compose stacks.
- Networking fundamentals: DNS, TLS, HTTP semantics, reverse proxies, load balancers.
- Scripting: Bash plus at least one of Python (or similar like Go/Ruby).
- Hands-on CI/CD pipeline design with any modern system.
- Production operations experience - you have been on-call, you have written postmortems, you have designed a capacity plan.
- Familiarity with at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) including its load-balancing, object-storage, and managed-database primitives.
- Git fluency.
- Experience using AI coding assistants and agent-based workflows in real ops work.
- Strong written English - runbooks, RFCs, and postmortems are core deliverables.
Nice To Haves
- Kubernetes operational experience (CKA welcome but not required).
- Terraform or Ansible at intermediate-or-deeper depth.
- Multi-cloud literacy — you have shipped on more than one of AWS, GCP, Azure.
- Observability stacks: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Sentry.
- Database operations beyond CRUD: replication, point-in-time recovery, query tuning.
- IPFS or other content-addressable / peer-to-peer storage operational experience.
- Security hardening - OWASP, basic pen-testing literacy, secrets-management tooling (Vault, SOPS, AWS SM).
- Cost engineering - you have right-sized a cloud bill before.
- Cloud or Kubernetes certifications.
Responsibilities
- Operate the production system: deploys, rollbacks, capacity, incident response.
- Design and execute the scaling roadmap — horizontal scaling, load balancing, caching layers, object-storage offload, database replication, IPFS-node fan-out.
- Evaluate and integrate cloud building blocks (managed databases, object storage, CDN, load balancers) where they earn their cost.
- Stand up CI/CD pipelines (greenfield — likely GitHub Actions) covering test, build, image push, and deploy across all services.
- Establish observability: metrics, logs, error tracking, SLOs, and meaningful alerts.
- Manage TLS / ACME automation, DNS, and secrets handling — replace today's hardcoded credentials with a proper secret-management story.
- Introduce infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or comparable) so the production system is reproducible.
- Use AI coding assistants to author IaC modules, runbooks, and incident-response playbooks.
Benefits
