Your Role

We are looking for an engineer who can wear two hats: stabilize and automate our infrastructure first, then shift toward backend feature development with the team. Long term, expect roughly a quarter of your time keeping our infrastructure healthy and the rest building backend features. You will:

• Strengthen observability with Grafana, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch (dashboards, alerting, log aggregation)
• Automate manual operations work: deployments, environment provisioning, and certificate management
• Build new features and implement scalable business logic in Go
• Design and optimize REST APIs for our Angular frontend
• Keep PostgreSQL reliable and performant, both as an operator (backups, storage) and as a developer (query optimization)

Desired skills & experience

• 3+ years of professional experience spanning backend development and DevOps/SRE
• Professional experience with Go and REST APIs
• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience (deployments, ingress, storage, troubleshooting); Rancher/RKE2 is a plus
• Solid experience with CI/CD tooling (GitLab CI preferred) and Docker
• Monitoring and logging experience: Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, or similar
• Experience working with PostgreSQL and optimizing database queries
• Strong reliability mindset: backups, incident response, and root-cause analysis
• Ability to work well in a team-oriented environment
• Excellent communication skills in English
