You'll move comfortably across Windows Server (.NET), MS SQL operations, Linux/Docker, and the networking and security layer that ties it all together — and you'll own incidents end-to-end, from response to root cause.

We're a fully remote, radically AI-first team: everyone — DevOps included — works in Cursor and Claude Code on a shared workspace, automating runbooks, scripts, and analysis instead of doing them by hand.

🎯 What You'll Do

Reliability & scaling

• Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines: reduce deploy times, add rollback capabilities, implement blue-green or canary deployments.
• Improve monitoring coverage: build SLA-oriented dashboards, reduce alert noise, add synthetic checks.
• Harden backup strategy: automate verification, point-in-time recovery, disaster-recovery runbooks.
• Scale infrastructure: capacity planning, new region provisioning, cost optimization across bare-metal providers.

Modernization

• Evaluate and drive containerization strategy for Windows-based services.
• Improve secrets management.
• Build infrastructure observability.

Day-to-day operations

• Incident response and root-cause analysis.
• SQL Server operations: backups, availability, instance provisioning.
• Networking & security: firewall rules, routing, DNS/FQDN, TLS certificates, VPN management, access control.

🔥 You're the Right Person If Requirements (must have):

• 3+ years in DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure roles.
• Strong Windows Server + IIS/Kestrel experience (.NET stack).
• Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML, templates, variable groups, environments).
• MS SQL Server administration (backups, replication).
• PowerShell scripting.
• Docker & Docker Compose (production workloads on Linux).
• Networking fundamentals: iptables/nftables, NAT, VPN, TLS.
• Configuration management: Ansible (playbooks, inventories, roles).
• Monitoring: Datadog, Sentry, or similar; APM.
• Experience and interest in AI-assisted work (we actively use various AI tools and provide team access to premium services).
• Native-level Russian and English at B1+ (working day-to-day communication).
• Latin America (LatAm) timezone.

⚡ It'd Be a Plus If

• Proxmox / KVM virtualization.
• Container orchestration experience (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm).
• Bare-metal hosting experience (OVHcloud, Leaseweb, Hetzner, etc.).
• Experience migrating Windows workloads to containers.
• Terraform or Pulumi for infrastructure as code.
• Cost optimization for hybrid (bare-metal + cloud) setups.

🚩 What We DON'T Need

• Setting up CI/CD from zero — it's already running.
• Basic monitoring setup — already in place.
• A dogmatic "cloud or bust" approach — we choose infrastructure pragmatically based on workload and cost.

🚀 What You Can Expect

• Competitive compensation — aligned with senior DevOps / SRE experience; specifics discussed individually.
• Remote, US-hours overlap: core team collaboration and incident response run on US time.
• Home office setup: we provide a laptop, software, and any other tools necessary for work.
• Professional development: we cover 50% of the costs of relevant educational activities.
• Vacation: annual leave (twice a year for 2 weeks) + holidays.
• Employment: via Deel contract.
• AI-first engineering culture: we use Cursor, Claude, shared AI infrastructure, and premium team access.
