DevOps Engineer

Platform Automation & Observability Engineer (Devops)| Contract or Permanent | Budapest, Hungary | Hybrid (2 days/week)

Join a global engineering organisation building the next generation of dashboard-as-a-service and observability tooling.

We're partnering with a leading enterprise technology business to find an experienced Platform Automation & Observability Engineer to join their newly formed platform team. This role sits at the intersection of telemetry, observability, AI/ML, and data integration — creating visibility and trust for both internal teams and executive stakeholders.

Open to either a contract or permanent engagement, depending on your preference. Hybrid working, with 2 days per week in the Budapest office.

What you'll be doing

Core Engineering & Delivery

• Design, build, and maintain dashboards with integrations across multiple tools and environments
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting dashboard development and deployment
• Develop AI-powered chatbots and agents to reduce manual reporting burden
• Automate data ingestion, transformation, and delivery pipelines across enterprise tooling

Observability & Telemetry

• Instrument and maintain telemetry pipelines for system and service health visibility
• Define and build operational dashboards for monitoring platform health and trends
• Contribute to service improvement initiatives driven by metrics and data analysis

Integrations & Tooling

• Integrate enterprise platforms (ServiceNow, Jira, cloud-native services) into centralised reporting systems
• Build reusable connectors and data models enabling rapid onboarding of new data sources
• Support self-service dashboard capabilities across the organisation

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner with engineering, cloud platform, and line-of-business teams on data and reporting needs
• Support audit and compliance requirements through reporting and data transparency
• Work across global teams and time zones

Ownership & Delivery

• Independently own and deliver complex workstreams end-to-end
• Provide clear status, risk, and outcome reporting
• Contribute to strategic platform improvements, not just task execution

What we're looking for

Essential:

• 8–12+ years in platform engineering, DevOps, automation engineering, or observability/data engineering
• Proven track record delivering complex, automation-driven solutions at enterprise scale
• Hands-on experience building and operating dashboard or reporting platforms
• Strong experience with cloud workloads in at least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP); multi-cloud preferred
• Proficiency in Python (preferred), Go, or similar scripting/automation languages
• Experience with AI/ML tooling, including building agents or chatbots using frameworks like LangChain or similar
• Deep familiarity with telemetry/observability/logging pipelines, CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code, and API-driven data integration
• Experience with reporting/dashboard platforms (Grafana, Power BI, Tableau, or custom-built)
• Comfortable with ServiceNow, Jira, and Git-based workflows
• Strong data-driven problem-solving mindset; able to work independently with minimal direction
• Experience in Agile / continuous improvement environments

Nice to have:

• Security tooling exposure (e.g. Wiz, Prisma, Orca, CrowdStrike)
• Background in SRE or platform reliability practices
• Experience with asset inventory / ITAM integrations
• Exposure to SAP cloud environments or large enterprise programmes

What success looks like in the first 6–9 months

• Delivering a dashboard framework that scales rapidly across teams
• Shipping AI-powered agents or chatbots that reduce manual information requests
• Building automation that measurably reduces manual workload
• Improving adoption, remediation tracking, and time-to-insight
• Growing service metrics, dashboards, and reporting maturity across the platform

We value outcomes over activity, data-driven decisions, ownership and accountability, collaboration and knowledge sharing, sustainable pace, and an innovative spirit.
