DevOps / Platform Engineer

Context & Vision

In 2026, writing code is no longer the primary bottleneck; managing its complexity and ensuring its reliability is. We are building a highly resilient advertising platform with a very lean, senior internal team, and we intend to keep it that way.

To achieve scale without the overhead of a large engineering department, we rely on an AI-first development paradigm and a philosophy borrowed from the best large-scale open-source projects. Our code is not public, but our governance is theirs: asynchronous communication, exhaustive written documentation, explicit rules, and uncompromising quality gates. It is the only way a small team of humans and AI agents ships serious systems without accumulating technical debt.

This role owns the ground the whole platform runs on: the clusters, the pipelines, and the guarantees that everything ships predictably.

The Role

You will own the platform and delivery infrastructure end to end - the clusters, the infrastructure-as-code, the delivery pipelines, and the operational guarantees behind them. In a lean team, reliability is not a separate department; it is a discipline you carry for everyone.

• Infrastructure as Code. Own the cloud footprint through infrastructure-as-code and a GitOps workflow. Infrastructure is declared, reviewed and versioned like any other code - no click-ops, no undocumented state.
• Delivery Pipelines.Own CI/CD. Builds are reproducible, deployments are predictable, and rollbacks are boring. You make shipping a non-event.
• Reliability, Performance & DR. Own observability (metrics, logs, distributed traces), performance testing, and backup / disaster-recovery. You define the SLOs that matter for a real-time serving platform and you make them measurable.
• Quality Gates & AI-First CI. Enforce quality at every passage point in the pipeline. Integrating AI into CI/CD - automated reviews, security and policy checks - is an open frontier here, and we expect you to study it and propose implementations. Everything you b…
