The platform runs 24/7, and you'll be part of the paid on-call rotation. You get an area of responsibility, not a step-by-step plan. We expect you to find the root cause, fix it, verify it, write it down, and report back with facts.\n\nHow we work\nPlease read this before applying — it matters more to us than any single technology.\nAutonomy is the default. You figure things out from the code, docs, logs, and the system itself. Ask when you're genuinely blocked or the decision isn't yours. \n\nDone means done. Deployed, verified in production, committed to Git, documented in the ticket. Not \"should work\". \n\nHonesty over appearances. Broke something or don't know something? Say it right away. Mistakes are fine; hiding them isn't. \n\nSmall, targeted changes. Fix what's broken without rebuilding the surroundings. Bigger changes: propose them with arguments, then build what was agreed. \n\nProduction discipline. Changes are announced, planned, and have a rollback path. \n\nNo drama. No politics, no blame, no meetings for the sake of meetings. Short written status updates. \n\nDisagree, then commit. Challenge decisions with data; once decided, deliver.\n\nClear role. Platform direction and architecture are set by the Head of Infrastructure.\nThis is a hands-on role with real ownership of execution — not a management role and\nnot a path to a separate team or a parallel stack.\n\nWhat we expect\nKubernetes in production — cluster lifecycle (incl. k3s), networking (CNI, Ingress, MetalLB), RBAC, storage, scheduling and performance troubleshooting\n\nNetworking fundamentals — TCP/IP, DNS, routing, NAT, load balancing; site-to-site VPNs (IPsec, GRE over IPsec); firewalls (pfSense, nftables, firewalld); tcpdump and Wireshark\n\nLinux administration in production (RHEL/Rocky, Debian/Ubuntu)\n\nObservability — correlating logs, metrics (Prometheus, Grafana) and traces to find root causes across distributed systems\n\nInfrastructure as Code — Ansible at minimum; Terraform or Pulumi a plus\n\nCI/CD and GitOps — Jenkins, ArgoCD, Helm\n\nVirtualization — Proxmox VE/KVM, Docker; VMware and GCP a plus\n\nJVM stacks (Java/Scala) — enough to troubleshoot GC, heap and resource issues\n\nData layer, operationally — Cassandra, MariaDB (replication, failover, HA), Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Hazelcast\n\nAI tools in daily work — Claude Code, Copilot or similar, with everything they produce verified \n\nIncidents you owned end-to-end — you can tell us what happened, what you did, what you got wrong and what you changed after\n\nClear written and spoken communication in Polish and English\n\nMid: solid in most of the above, deep in a few; handles typical incidents alone and knows when to escalate. Senior: deep in most; can take a serious incident alone at 3 AM and deliver a post-mortem the next day.\n\nNice to have\nAdvanced Kubernetes networking (Calico, Cilium) or a service mesh\n\nSecurity and hardening — Falco, Network Policies, FreeIPA, Wazuh, vulnerability management\n\nBare-metal hardware (Dell iDRAC, RAID), MikroTik, Tailscale\n\nPerformance tuning of JVM apps, Cassandra or Kafka\n\nRunbooks and post-mortems that other people actually use\n\nWhat you'll do\nRun and evolve Kubernetes clusters — upgrades, scaling, networking, security\n\nResolve incidents across the full stack: network, JVM, Kafka, MariaDB, Cassandra\n\nKeep observability useful — dashboards, and alerts worth waking up for\n\nAutomate toil — if you do it twice, automate it\n\nMaintain CI/CD and GitOps (Jenkins, ArgoCD)\n\nPatch and mitigate vulnerabilities across the fleet\n\nTake part in on-call and incident response\n\nDocument what you do — tickets, runbooks, post-mortems\n\nPropose improvements backed by data and deliver the agreed ones end-to-end\n\nProbably not a match if you\nneed daily guidance or a detailed task breakdown to make progress\n\nreport work as finished before verifying it\n\nwant to rewrite the platform in your favourite tools in the first month\n\nprefer process and meetings to fixing things\n\nare looking for a management or architect-of-everything role\n\nWhat we offer\nSmall team, flat structure, real ownership\n\nPaid on-call\n\nTraining budget and in-house trainings\n\nPrivate healthcare and sport subscription\n\nCompany phone\n\nOffice with free coffee, bike parking, no dress code\n\nRecruitment process\nScreening call (~30 min) — your experience and expectations.\n\nTechnical interview (60–90 min) — Kubernetes, networking, observability, troubleshooting; scenario questions and a detailed walk-through of real incidents you handled yourself.\n\nManager interview (~45 min) — how you work: autonomy, communication, mistakes, disagreement and pressure.\n\nTech stack\nKubernetes\nNetworking\nLinux Administration\nObservability\nInfrastructure as code\nCI/CD\nVirtualization\nData Layer\nKubernetes Networking\nSecurity and hardening","description_format":"text","description_chars":5200,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T17:26:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T18:54:12Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":85824,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/abaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/abaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T18:54:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4102,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3533767},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3533767"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fabaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fabaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fabaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/abaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fabaro-devops-engineer-mid-senior"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3974493}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"abaro.com.my","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3974493},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
