DevOps Engineer (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes)

About the role

GlobalDots, a cloud, security, performance and DevOps integrator with more than 20 years of experience and over 1,000 clients, is looking for a hands-on DevOps engineer. You will build and run client infrastructure, mostly on AWS, and own the results, including on high-load production systems. The work varies: EKS platform builds, Terraform and GitOps cleanups, CI/CD migrations and cost optimisation. You will also work with Cloudflare services (DNS, WAF, Zero Trust, Tunnels, Workers, R2) and with AI coding agents such as Claude Code.

Key responsibilities

• Design and build AWS environments with Terraform (accounts, networking, IAM, EKS, data stores).
• Run production Kubernetes, including upgrades, networking, ingress, secrets and workload hardening.
• Configure scaling at every layer (HPA, VPA, KEDA, Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler) and GPU workloads.
• Set up GitOps (ArgoCD or Flux) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI), moving clients off older pipelines.
• Implement observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, ELK/OpenSearch, Datadog) and use it to resolve incidents.
• Apply FinOps: right-size resources, choose the right pricing model and give clients visibility of spend.
• Work directly with customers on Slack and calls, write documentation and runbooks, and join pre-sales and scoping calls.

Required profile

• Several years running production systems on AWS, with strong Terraform.
• Production Kubernetes experience, ideally on EKS, including autoscaling and some GPU workloads.
• Working knowledge of GitOps and at least one CI system.
• Solid Linux and Bash, plus Python or Go beyond scripts.
• Daily use of an AI coding agent, ideally Claude Code, with examples of what you have built or fixed.
• Good English to run client calls and write client-facing documentation.
• Proactive, self-sufficient and able to explain technical decisions to non-engineers.

Required skills

• AWS: VPC networking, IAM, high availability patterns.
• Terraform (Terragrunt common in repos).
• GitOps (ArgoCD or Flux) and CI/CD.
• Nice to have: Cloudflare (WAF, Zero Trust, Tunnels, Workers), Azure or GCP, Ansible, AWS or CKA/CKS certifications.

What we offer

• Certifications (AWS, GCP, HashiCorp, Kubernetes) paid by the company.
• Flexible hours arranged around customer meetings.
• Equipment of your choice and company-funded conferences and training.
