DevOps Engineer (Middle+/Senior)

Remote | Full-time | $3,000–4,000/month

We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer (Middle+/Senior) to take ownership of the infrastructure behind multiple production environments.

This is a hands-on position with responsibility for production stability, deployments, servers, backups, infrastructure security, troubleshooting, and incident response.

Our infrastructure currently includes approximately 20 separate production broker environments plus core/database infrastructure.

We are looking for someone who can first learn the existing infrastructure and deployment processes and then gradually take full ownership of them.

Environment

Our current environment includes technologies and infrastructure such as:

Linux / AlmaLinux

Nginx

Docker

GitHub

CI/CD

Cloudflare

Multiple production servers

Central/core database infrastructure

CRM applications

Web-based trading platforms

REST APIs

WebSockets / real-time services

Third-party data/API providers

The exact existing infrastructure will be reviewed during onboarding.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for the reliability and operation of production infrastructure.

This includes:

Maintain approximately 20 production environments

Maintain core/database infrastructure

Provision new production servers from scratch

Configure environments for new brands/sub-brands

Deploy applications and infrastructure changes

Maintain and improve CI/CD processes

Manage application and infrastructure configuration

Configure and maintain Nginx/reverse proxy infrastructure

Work with Docker/containerized services

Manage GitHub-related deployment infrastructure, access, keys, and secrets

Maintain SSL certificates, domains, DNS, and Cloudflare-related infrastructure when required

Perform server and application migrations

Move environments between servers when required

Maintain database infrastructure

Manage database backups and restoration procedures

Implement and verify automated backups

Ensure that backups can actually be restored when needed

Maintain disaster-recovery procedures

Monitor server health, CPU, RAM, disk usage, services, and application availability

Maintain and improve existing monitoring and alerts

Troubleshoot production incidents

Investigate infrastructure, network, API, service, and real-time data issues

Investigate cases where external/internal APIs or data sources stop functioning correctly

Work with external hosting and infrastructure providers when required

Maintain infrastructure security

Manage SSH access, permissions, firewall rules, secrets, and production access

Perform safe production restarts and updates

Maintain rollback procedures

Minimize downtime during deployments and infrastructure changes

Document servers, services, environments, domains, dependencies, deployment processes, backup procedures, and recovery procedures

Work closely with Full-Stack Developers and QA

Production ownership

This position requires real ownership of production infrastructure.

We are not looking for someone who only executes predefined commands.

During the onboarding period, you will receive information about the existing environments and infrastructure.

As you become familiar with the system, we expect you to independently:

Diagnose infrastructure problems

Determine root causes

Decide on appropriate technical actions

Restore affected services

Coordinate with developers when the issue is application-related

Verify production health after changes

Document important incidents and infrastructure changes

Identify potential infrastructure risks before they become production incidents

Requirements

4+ years of commercial DevOps/System Engineering experience or equivalent strong hands-on experience

Strong Linux administration skills

Production experience with Linux-based environments

Strong Nginx knowledge

Docker experience

CI/CD experience

Git/GitHub experience

Experience managing multiple production environments

Experience provisioning production servers

Experience with database infrastructure, backups, and recovery

Understanding of networking, DNS, SSL/TLS, HTTP/HTTPS, reverse proxies, and firewalls

Experience troubleshooting production systems

Experience with monitoring and alerting

Understanding of infrastructure and application security

Experience managing SSH access, secrets, permissions, and deployment credentials

Ability to analyze logs and diagnose application/infrastructure failures

Experience working with third-party infrastructure/API providers

Ability to create clear infrastructure documentation

Ability to work independently after onboarding

English — Intermediate or higher

Experience with AlmaLinux/RHEL-compatible environments is a strong plus.

Experience with trading or FinTech infrastructure is not required.

Backup and recovery

We expect the DevOps Engineer to maintain a reliable backup and recovery process.

This means not only creating backups but also knowing:

What is backed up

How frequently backups are created

Where they are stored

How they can be restored

How a failed production environment can be rebuilt

How production can be recovered if a server becomes unavailable

Incident response

This is the only position in the team that includes responsibility for urgent production incidents outside standard working hours.

Production incidents outside working hours are not expected to be routine, but when a critical production service becomes unavailable, the DevOps Engineer must be reachable and able to respond.

We expect:

Reliable availability during normal working hours

Reasonable emergency availability outside working hours

Fast acknowledgement of critical production incidents

Ability to access and investigate production remotely when necessary

Clear communication during an incident

Notification to the team if you will be unavailable for a known period

The exact incident-response/on-call process will be agreed with the successful candidate.

First 1–3 months

We understand that the infrastructure contains multiple environments and cannot be fully learned in several days.

The initial period will focus on:

Understanding existing infrastructure

Mapping production environments

Understanding deployments

Understanding database and service dependencies

Reviewing access and security

Reviewing monitoring

Reviewing backup processes

Creating/updating infrastructure documentation

Identifying infrastructure risks and areas for improvement

After the onboarding period, we expect you to be able to manage standard infrastructure operations and troubleshoot most production issues independently.

Working conditions

Fully remote

Full-time

Monday–Friday

Standard working hours: 09:00–18:00 GMT+3 / 10:00–19:00 GMT+4

Emergency production availability outside working hours

Probation/onboarding period: 1–3 months

Compensation: $3,000–4,000/month, depending on experience and technical level

Higher compensation may be considered for an exceptionally strong candidate with significant production ownership experience

Long-term cooperation

English: Intermediate or higher

What is important to us

Reliability and communication are critical for this role.

We expect the DevOps Engineer to:

Be reachable during agreed working hours

Respond to critical infrastructure incidents

Notify the team about planned periods of unavailability

Take ownership of production problems

Investigate root causes rather than only restart services

Communicate clearly with developers, QA, and the Project Manager

Document important infrastructure knowledge

Proactively identify risks

Gradually reduce dependency on undocumented knowledge held by individual team members

Our goal is to build an infrastructure process where production knowledge, access, deployments, backups, and recovery procedures are documented and are not dependent on one person's memory.
