In Office Senior EMEA Cloud Computing Senior DevOps Engineer Kubernetes AWS Terraform Go Python MongoDB Kafka Redis GCP Mentoring

Requirements

• A track record of owning complex technical initiatives end-to-end, contributing to making architecture-level decisions and understanding their long-term consequences. • Deep, hands-on expertise operating Kubernetes and container orchestration in production, including cluster scaling, upgrades, and multi-tenancy. • Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including networking, IAM, account structuring, and cost management. • Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) and building provisioning or automation frameworks that other engineers rely on. • Solid software engineering skills (Go, Python, or similar) applied to building internal tooling and automation, not just operational scripting. • Broader knowledge across supportive technologies (e.g. Kafka, gRPC, Postgres / MongoDB, Redis, CI / CD such as GitHub Actions) and the ability to weigh trade-offs between them for a given problem. • Solid understanding of SRE principles, including incident response, fault-tolerant architecture, and capacity planning. • Experience unblocking and mentoring other engineers (e.g. code / design reviews, knowledge sharing, or driving best practices), and willingness to contribute to hiring across interviewing, tech talks, etc. • Excellent collaboration and communication skills; this role works closely with many engineering teams, increasingly operating at global scale. • Experience with GitOps tooling (e.g. Argo CD, Flux), progressive delivery, or service mesh technologies. • Experience operating multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes environments at scale. • GCP exposure, especially compute and networking aspects. • Familiarity with cloud cost optimization / FinOps practices for cloud and Kubernetes workloads. • Experience contributing to multi-org infrastructure unification efforts. • Contributions to open-source infrastructure or platform engineering projects, especially in the CNCF ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of complex infrastructure initiatives end-to-end, spanning Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, networking, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks - making most technical decisions within scope without needing oversight. • Break initiatives down into executable work, identify dependencies, provide accurate estimates, and document project-level technical decisions and how infrastructure components interact. • Design, deploy, and operate secure, scalable systems in AWS, and know when and how to pull in other teams to support cross-cutting initiatives. • Independently plan and drive technical improvements to the compute and cloud platform, using data and clear success metrics to prioritize work. • Build and own self-service tooling, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks that let other engineering teams provision environments and infrastructure safely and consistently. • Unblock other teams through code and design reviews, proactively answering questions, and sharing knowledge via guides, playbooks, and internal tech talks. • Serve as a first responder during on-call rotations for core infrastructure, lead root cause analysis, and drive incident mitigation and follow-through. • Drive team-wide quality objectives for the Infrastructure platform: reliability, operational readiness (alerting, dashboards, runbooks), and developer experience / productivity tooling. • Act as a role model for other engineers by sharing constructive feedback, recognizing colleagues' contributions, and supporting hiring through interviewing and recruiting activities. • Partner closely with platform teams across Wolt, Deliveroo, and DoorDash to align on shared standards, tooling, and the joint infrastructure roadmap.
