Trusted by thousands of organizations managing millions of endpoints globally, we are building the infrastructure that supports our continued growth.\nThe Role\nWorking hours\nWorking hours close to the CET time zone are preferred to support regular collaboration with your manager and coordination of the team’s workload.\nFlexibility to adjust working hours for team coordination, planned production changes, and critical incidents. This includes working US time-zone hours for a couple of days when needed to attend team meetings, participate in cross-training, or support handovers.\nJob Scope\nWe are looking for a Senior / Staff DevOps Engineer to build and operate Action1’s AWS infrastructure, improve deployment automation, and strengthen production reliability and security.\nThis is a hands-on individual contributor role. You will identify problems, make technical decisions, and carry improvements through implementation and validation, with support and input from your manager and peers.\nYou will join a small, collaborative DevOps team where your ideas help shape how we work. There is room to try new approaches, learn from experienced colleagues, and see your work make a difference in production. You will work closely with R&D and QA on releases and production needs.\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild and evolve our AWS infrastructure. Design and operate secure, resilient infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions. Evaluate architecture decisions against production requirements, operational complexity, performance, and cost.\nBuild infrastructure as code. Develop reusable components, reduce configuration drift, and make environments reproducible. Maintain infrastructure and automation in Git with peer review, testing, documentation, and clear ownership.\nImprove deployment pipelines. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated checks, deployment controls, and rollback mechanisms to make releases safer and more predictable.\nDevelop reliable automation. Use programming, scripting, and APIs to simplify operations, eliminate repetitive work, and build tooling the team can maintain and support.\nApply AI in daily DevOps work. Use approved tools such as Codex or Claude for infrastructure code, scripting, testing, troubleshooting, operational analysis, and documentation. Build reusable workflows, independently review and test outputs, protect sensitive information, and follow established review and change controls.\nStrengthen observability. Improve metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and actionable alerts. Investigate performance and capacity constraints, connect telemetry to application behavior, and reduce unnecessary alert noise.\nOwn production reliability. Participate in the on-call rotation and lead incident response when needed. Coordinate recovery, communicate clearly, investigate underlying causes, and verify that corrective changes address the problem.\nValidate resilience and recovery. Develop and test backup, recovery, failover, and maintenance procedures. Use controlled failure exercises where appropriate to identify weaknesses before they affect customers.\nContinuously assess AWS platform security. Review access, network exposure, logging, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations across accounts and environments. Investigate security findings and suspicious activity, prioritize work by risk, and drive remediation through implementation and verification, coordinating with Security and the owners of affected systems.\nImprove AWS security controls. Evaluate and introduce practical improvements to threat detection, automated security checks, and response workflows. Strengthen least-privilege access, network controls, secrets management, encryption, hardening, and auditability. Integrate technical controls into infrastructure and delivery pipelines to meet security and compliance requirements.\nImprove cloud efficiency. Understand cost drivers, identify waste, and evaluate capacity and architecture improvements using measured workload behavior. Verify savings alongside performance and reliability.\n Share operational knowledge. Review infrastructure designs and automation code, document decisions, and maintain useful runbooks and technical documentation.\nWhat we’re looking for\nSubstantial hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure engineering for production SaaS environments.\nA record of independently identifying and solving problems, prioritizing work, and coordinating dependencies while keeping others informed.\nDeep AWS knowledge and experience designing, operating, and troubleshooting distributed systems across multiple environments.\nStrong AWS security operations experience, including assessments, incident investigations, and vulnerability and misconfiguration remediation.\nHands-on observability experience using metrics, logs, and traces to investigate production issues and build actionable dashboards and alerts.\nStrong programming or scripting skills in Python, Node.js, or a comparable language for maintainable automation and API integrations.\nStrong hands-on experience with both Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, supported by Git, code review, testing, and CI/CD practices.\nSound understanding of operating systems, networking, DNS, TLS, identity, storage, and database behavior, with the ability to troubleshoot across system boundaries.\nExperience with production incident response, root-cause analysis, and recovery planning.\nPractical experience using AI tools in DevOps, including examples of their benefits, limitations, and how you validated and corrected their output.\nAnalytical thinking and sound judgment: test assumptions, distinguish symptoms from causes, weigh trade-offs, verify results, and recognize when broader review is needed.\nFlexibility to collaborate across time zones and adjust working hours for team coordination, planned production changes, and critical incidents.\nNice to have\nHands-on Datadog experience for production troubleshooting and reliability improvement.\nExperience with Terramate for managing Terraform infrastructure across environments.\nExperience building operational tools or self-service workflows for provisioning, deployments, and environment management.\nPractical SRE experience, including service-level objectives, capacity planning, and reliability reviews.\nExperience supporting SOC 2, ISO 27001, or comparable requirements through technical controls and operational evidence.\nExperience developing AI agents with appropriate access boundaries, evaluation, and human oversight.\nExperience mentoring DevOps engineers and leading infrastructure or operational improvements.\nWhat we offer\nFully remote work, with flexibility around team collaboration and production responsibilities.\nOwnership of infrastructure supporting a growing global platform.\nChallenging DevOps work and opportunities to deepen your technical expertise.\nDirect collaboration with experienced, supportive peers.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7162,"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":[{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Czech
