Lead DevOps Engineer

Every project we deliver runs on infrastructure we set up, and many of our clients keep us on to run it afterwards. Our platform team of four makes sure that shipping is boring: environments appear from code, releases are a button, and alerts mean something.

As the lead, you will set the standards that every delivery team follows, and you will still be hands-on in the projects that need it most. This year that includes moving a logistics client from hand-built servers to Kubernetes on AWS, and bringing a fintech client to the audit standard their bank partners now ask for.

You will report to the CTO and work from our Batumi office two days a week.

Your time will split roughly evenly between leading the team and building with it.

• Design cloud infrastructure as code (Terraform) and keep our shared modules in shape
• Run CI/CD and release pipelines across client projects
• Set up monitoring, alerting and an on-call process people can live with
• Hire, coach and grow the platform team

You have run production systems at scale and led other engineers while doing it. That usually means:

• Many years in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, some of them as a lead
• Kubernetes and Terraform in production, on AWS
• A calm head during incidents, and the habit of writing the post-mortem
• Experience explaining cost and risk to people who sign the budget

Security certifications, cloud cost work, or experience with ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audits would all be useful here.

We keep it short and tell you where you stand at every step. It starts with a 30-minute call with someone from our people team about what you want next and what we can offer, including the salary range.

Then comes one 60-minute conversation with two senior people from the team you would join. We talk through real problems you have solved and a scenario from a current project. There is no live coding, and you are welcome to use the tools you use every day, AI assistants included. If it is a match, you meet the delivery lead and we make an offer, usually within two weeks of your first call.

We reply to every applicant within five business days, and if we say no after an interview, we tell you why.

A salary we share in the first call, reviewed every year, and the room to do careful work. Beyond that:

• Private health insurance for you and your family
• A yearly learning budget for courses, books and conferences
• Remote set-up allowance, or a desk in our Tbilisi or Batumi office
• 24 days of paid leave, plus Georgian public holidays
• Relocation and visa support for senior roles
