Junior IT Systems & DevOps Engineer

Chartrics Software Solutions LLC is looking for a highly organized, responsible, trustworthy, and motivated individual with a genuine passion for IT infrastructure, system administration, networking, DevOps, software development, and AI-powered automation.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to learn, grow professionally, and take real ownership of important technical responsibilities within a software development company.

You will become the third member of our IT and infrastructure team, working closely with two colleagues and our software developers.

We do not expect you to know everything from day one. We will provide guidance, mentoring, and training where needed. What matters most to us is your attitude, reliability, willingness to learn, attention to detail, and ability to work in an organized and responsible manner.

You will progressively take responsibility for:

• Microsoft Azure Administration: Configuring, monitoring, maintaining, and securing our cloud infrastructure.

• IT Systems & User Management: Managing company computers, user accounts, access permissions, software, and IT resources.

• Network Administration & Security: Configuring, monitoring, troubleshooting, and securing company networks.

• DevOps & Infrastructure Automation: Working with software developers to build, maintain, and automate development, testing, staging, and production environments.

• Security & Reliability: Supporting backup procedures, access controls, infrastructure security, and operational reliability.

• AI & Software Automation: Using AI tools, scripting, and software solutions to automate routine tasks and improve efficiency.

• Technical Documentation & Diagrams: Preparing and maintaining clear, structured documentation, infrastructure diagrams, network topology diagrams, configuration records, and operational procedures.

• Continuous Improvement: Identifying risks, suggesting improvements, and helping introduce more efficient and reliable ways of working.

What We Value Most

Your personal qualities matter more to us than your current technical experience.

We are looking for someone who demonstrates:

• Excellent organizational skills: Ability to structure work, prioritize tasks, maintain order, and follow procedures.

• High attention to detail: Careful execution, verification, and consistency.

• Strong sense of responsibility: Taking ownership, following through on commitments, and communicating proactively.

• Trustworthiness and integrity: Understanding confidentiality, security, and responsible access to company systems.

• Good English communication skills: Ability to read technical documentation, write clearly, and communicate effectively.

• Strong documentation skills: Ability to explain technical concepts and procedures in a clear, concise, structured, and understandable manner.

• Diagramming and visualization skills: Ability to create simple, accurate diagrams illustrating systems, networks, processes, and relationships between components.

• Passion for technology: Genuine curiosity about IT systems, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, software development, and AI.

• Problem-solving and initiative: Willingness to investigate challenges, learn independently, and seek guidance when appropriate.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or currently studying toward one.

• Good written and spoken English.

• Basic understanding of computers, operating systems, networking, and software technologies.

• Ability to prepare structured technical documentation and simple diagrams.

• Strong interest in system administration, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and automation.

An advantage, but not required:

• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, or Windows administration.

• Basic knowledge of Linux, networking, or cybersecurity.

• Experience with scripting or programming (PowerShell, Python, Bash, etc.).

• Familiarity with Git, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or development environments.

• Experience with diagramming tools such as draw.io, Lucidchart, or Visio.

• Experience with AI tools and software automation.

• Practical IT experience through personal projects, university assignments, internships, or previous employment.

Previous professional experience is not required. Motivated students and recent graduates are welcome to apply.

How to Apply

Please submit the following materials in English:

1. Your CV/resume, clearly presenting your education, relevant skills, projects, and experience.

2. A short cover letter (5–7 sentences) explaining why you are a good fit for this position, what interests you about IT infrastructure and DevOps, and one or two factual examples demonstrating your organizational skills, attention to detail, or responsible work habits. Examples from university or personal projects are welcome.

3. A short practical assignment, described below.

Practical Assignment: Document a Small Company IT Infrastructure

Objective: Demonstrate your ability to organize technical information, prepare clear documentation, and communicate infrastructure design through a diagram.

Scenario:

Imagine a small software development company with:

• 15 employees using company laptops.

• Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration, and user management.

• Microsoft Azure for hosting its applications.

• A company office network with wired and wireless connectivity.

• Software developers working with development, staging, and production environments.

• A requirement to manage access securely and maintain basic backups.

Your task:

Prepare a short technical document (maximum 2 pages, excluding the diagram) containing:

Part 1 — Infrastructure Overview

Briefly describe how you would organize the company's IT environment, covering:

• Employee computers and user accounts.

• Office network and internet connectivity.

• Microsoft 365 and Azure services.

• Development, staging, and production environments.

• Basic security, access management, and backup considerations.

You do not need to provide detailed configurations or advanced technical solutions. Focus on a clear, logical, and understandable explanation.

Part 2 — Infrastructure Diagram

Create one simple diagram illustrating:

• The main IT infrastructure components.

• How the office network, users, Microsoft 365, and Azure relate to each other.

• How development, staging, and production environments are organized.

You may use draw.io, Lucidchart, Visio, PowerPoint, or any other diagramming tool.

Part 3 — Documentation Quality

Ensure your submission is:

• Clearly structured, with meaningful headings.

• Concise, accurate, and easy to understand.

• Consistent between the written explanation and the diagram.

• Free of unnecessary complexity or irrelevant information.

Expected submission: One PDF containing your documentation and diagram. We recommend spending approximately 60–90 minutes on this assignment.

Our Policy on Using AI

The use of AI tools in preparing your application, documentation, and practical assignment is welcomed and encouraged.

At Chartrics, we believe that modern professionals should know how to use AI effectively to improve productivity and quality.

However, our company follows an important principle:

All AI-assisted materials must be personally reviewed, fully understood, verified for accuracy, and presented in a concise and relevant manner.

We expect you to:

• Understand everything you submit and be able to explain it.

• Review and verify AI-generated content rather than accepting it without checking.

• Remove unnecessary information, generic explanations, and irrelevant details.

• Ensure that your final work is clear, practical, and appropriate for the task.

We may ask you to briefly explain your documentation and diagram during an interview.

We value your understanding, judgment, organization, and attention to detail — not the amount of content you produce.

Important Note to Applicants

The quality of your CV, cover letter, and practical assignment is our first indication of your approach to work.

We pay particular attention to clarity, structure, accuracy, completeness, attention to detail, and how carefully you follow instructions.

A thoughtful, well-organized, concise application is more valuable to us than an impressive list of technologies or unnecessarily complicated technical explanations.

We look forward to receiving your application and potentially welcoming you to our team!
