DevOps Engineer

About OpenNet

OpenNet is a fast-growing technology company with products reaching 20+ countries worldwide.

We bring together talented people who enjoy solving challenges, moving fast, and learning from one another. We value collaboration, flexibility, growth, and work-life balance - creating an environment where people can do great work and enjoy the journey along the way.

About the role

You will own the security posture of a high-traffic, multi-country consumer platform from the internet edge inward. This is a hands-on engineering role, not an advisory one: detections, guardrails, and access controls all ship as code through the same review-and-deploy path as everything else. Alongside that, you'll pick up day-to-day DevOps work: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and production deployments.

The scale you'd be working at

Dozens of EKS clusters and roughly 2,600+ nodes. Infrastructure partitioned per country across multiple African markets, each with its own regulatory surface. An in-house SIEM and bunch of security related detections.
