Your future team

You'll join the central DevOps team, responsible for the infrastructure that powers the company's products and services. The team focuses on automation, cloud infrastructure, system reliability, and building scalable DevOps solutions across the engineering organization.

Tech Stack

• Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, EKS, Elasticache, Lambda)
• Container Orchestration: Kubernetes with Helm
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform + Terragrunt, [Pulumi/ CDK](Optional)
• Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Elastic Stack, OpenTelemetry
• CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, ArgoRollouts
• Scripting: Python, Go, Bash
• Version Control: GitHub
• Collaboration: Jira (Agile)
• Automation: N8N, AI-assisted tooling (Agentic ADK)

Your role in this journey

• Infrastructure as Code: Implement and maintain infrastructure definitions using Terraform, Pulumi, or similar tools. Ensure IaC standards are followed and contribute improvements to existing modules and patterns.
• Cloud Operations: Manage and monitor AWS services, ensuring system performance, availability, and adherence to best practices. Troubleshoot production issues and participate in capacity planning.
• Kubernetes & Containers: Maintain and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters — deploying workloads, managing configurations, scaling services, and resolving incidents to support high-availability applications. Experience in upgrading EKS is a plus.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth, automated software delivery. Identify bottlenecks and implement enhancements across Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoRollouts and ArgoCD.
• Monitoring & Alerting: Maintain and extend our monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana). Build dashboards, configure alerts, and improve observability to ensure comprehensive visibility into system health and performance.
• Cost Awareness: Participate in cost reviews, identify wasteful resource usage, and implement cost-saving measures in collaboration with senior engineers and product teams.
• Automation & Scripting: Write and maintain scripts (Python, Bash, or Go) to automate operational tasks and improve workflows. Leverage AI-powered automation tools like N8N to reduce manual intervention where applicable.
• Collaboration: Work effectively with development, security, and operations teams to support smooth deployments, share knowledge, and align on operational standards

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in a DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering role with hands-on production experience.
• Solid working experience with AWS services (EC2, EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda) and cloud infrastructure management.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments — deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting containerized workloads.
• Practical experience with at least one Infrastructure as Code tool (Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK).
• Experience maintaining and improving CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or ArgoCD.
• Proficiency in scripting with Python, Bash, or Go for operational automation.
• Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with logging and log aggregation systems (Elastic Stack,Open Telemetry, or similar).
• Solid understanding of Linux administration, networking fundamentals, and system security basics.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across teams and explain technical decisions clearly.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Helm charts and Kubernetes package management.
• Familiarity with GitOps workflows (e.g., Github Actions, ArgoCD, Flux).
• Experience with designing AWS services based architectures is a plus.
• Experience with AI automation or low-code/no-code platforms such as N8N is a plus.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering and using AI tools to augment DevOps workflows.
• Exposure to cost optimization strategies for cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with incident response, on-call rotations, or SRE practices (SLOs, error budgets).
• Experience with DevSecOps practices — integrating security scanning and compliance into CI/CD pipelines.

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape Revenue Management systems used by thousands of hosts and millions of guests worldwide.
• Work in a modern, data-driven technology environment with cutting-edge tools and frameworks.
• Collaborate with an international, motivated team that values learning, innovation, and impact.
• Professional growth through mentorship, learning budgets, and a focus on AI and emerging technologies.
• Flexible hybrid working model with 50% in-office collaboration.
• Up to 8 weeks per year to work remotely from inspiring locations.
• Competitive benefits including travel perks, wellness and gym discounts, and regular team and company events.
• Be part of a culture that celebrates wins, encourages curiosity, and balances ambition with a fun and human-centered environment.
