About the job
Aghanim is hiring a Mid-Level/High-Level DevOps / SRE Engineer in Lisbon. This role focuses on managing and improving our production platform, which runs on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Cloudflare sits at the front, Datadog provides observability, and CI/CD pipelines run through GitHub Actions.
Work closely with Senior and Principal engineers to strengthen reliability, expand monitoring, and reduce manual operational work. The systems you support handle high loads and must be ready for sudden traffic spikes.

- Contribute to postmortem reviews with clear facts, timelines, and actionable remediation steps.
Security Fundamentals (DevSecOps)
