It caters to connected cars, drones, autonomous mobility, robotics, utilities, energy, fleet management, logistics, medical devices, and manufacturing. Aeris serves over 7,000 enterprise customers and connects more than 115 million devices worldwide, including 41 million connected vehicles, supported by an ecosystem of 30+ mobile network operators. Enterprises rely on Aeris for the borderless connectivity, embedded security, observability, and proven scale that mission critical Physical AI programs demand.\nThe Opportunity\nWe are looking for a hands-on DevOps Lead who enjoys keeping production systems reliable while building the next generation of operational tooling. You will help move AI initiatives beyond experimentation into secure, measurable, production-ready automation and improvements across Software Operations.\nYou will join a 16-person DevOps and SRE team supporting global IoT and connected-vehicle platforms, reporting directly to the Head of DevOps and SRE. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports, working closely with engineering, security, and operations teams around the world.\nThis role is based in Bucharest, with a hybrid work model requiring at least2 days per week in the office (The Bridge 3, Sector 6).\nKey Responsibilities\nBalance engineering improvements and operational responsibilities, with an approximate 70/30 allocation between engineering improvements, automation, and AI initiatives versus production operations. This is a flexible guideline rather than a fixed weekly split and may shift during critical releases or major incidents. You will take ownership of prioritizing improvements and establishing sustainable boundaries for operational work in collaboration with your manager.\n70% - Automation, Continuous Improvement & AI\nDesign, build, and maintain automation that removes repetitive operational tasks and increases the efficiency and consistency of DevOps and SRE workflows. \nDevelop AI-assisted tools and agent-based workflows for incident triage, troubleshooting, knowledge retrieval, operational reporting, and runbook assistance. \nConnect LLM services and internal systems through APIs and orchestration tooling, with validation, access controls, auditability, and human approval for sensitive actions. \nImprove CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure as code, cloud platform tooling, security controls, and observability. \nOwn improvements from proof of concept through production, assessing reliability, adoption, and measurable operational impact. \nCollaborate across Software Operations and Engineering to identify valuable automation opportunities and enable practical AI adoption. \n30% - Production Operations, Reliability & On-Call\nHelp maintain the reliability, performance, security, and availability of production cloud services. \nTroubleshoot incidents, support deployments and changes, contribute to root-cause analysis, and prevent recurring issues. \nParticipate in a scheduled on-call rotation, including response outside normal working hours when rostered. Overtime worked is compensated in line with company policy and applicable law. \nQualifications\nSenior experience in DevOps, Cloud, Platform Engineering, SRE, or infrastructure automation, including production ownership. \nHands-on cloud experience (preferably Google Cloud Platform), Linux, Kubernetes (ideally GKE), and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform). \nExperience with CI/CD, Git-based delivery, Jenkins, and GitOps principles; familiarity with FluxCD or Argo CD. \nStrong scripting and development skills, especially Python, including REST APIs and programmatic system integrations. \nExperience with monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, or cloud-native observability. \nPractical experience building or integrating LLM-powered tools or AI-assisted automation, shown through delivered work or meaningful personal projects. \nUnderstanding of production incident response, secure automation, reliability, and safe change management at scale. \nStrong ownership, analytical thinking, and professional proficiency in English for collaboration with global teams. \nBonus Points\nExperience with LLM APIs, agent/tool-calling, RAG, Model Context Protocol (MCP), or orchestration tools such as LibreChat and n8n. \nExperience with GCP-native services, Cloud Build, Secret Manager, cloud networking, PostgreSQL, or Redis. \nFamiliarity with messaging (Kafka, MQTT, RabbitMQ), ingress, and security tooling (NGINX, Cloud Armor).\nWhy Aeris?\nThis is a high-impact engineering role: you will design and deliver automation and AI solutions used by Software Operations teams, not just prototypes. \nYou will have the autonomy to propose improvements, influence technical decisions, and help shape how AI is adopted in day-to-day operations. \nYou will gain exposure to globally deployed, business-critical cloud platforms and collaborate with experienced engineers across functions and regions. \nOur Process\n30 min Talent Team Discussion - Teams. \n60 min Peer Technical Interview - Teams. \n60 min Hiring Manager Interview - On-site/ Teams. \n30 min N+1 Interview - Teams. \nPlease note that this reflects the current agreed interview process and may be adjusted or updated as the recruitment process progresses.\nThe base compensation range across Romania is RON 348,720- 496,800 gross per year. Certain roles may be eligible for bonus.\nAdditional Benefits:\n25 + days Vacation; \nHealth Insurance Private plan (EE+ Dependents); \nLife Insurance; \nLunch Allowance; \nHome Internet WFH supplement. \nAeris is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, national origin, marital status, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other protected status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6019,"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":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Telecommunications","IoT Platforms & Solutions","IoT Connectivity"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T09:45:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":66,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":103522,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aeris-devops-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aeris-devops-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T15:22:09Z","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":23491,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":1828208},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1828208"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faeris-devops-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Faeris-devops-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Faeris-devops-lead"},{"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/aeris-devops-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faeris-devops-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3448460}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"aeris.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3448460},"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); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
