  • Drive Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD practices using Terraform, GitHub, and GitHub Actions.
  • Establish and mature SRE practices, including SLOs, observability, incident response, blameless postmortems, reliability engineering, and automation that reduces manual operational work.
  • Lead adoption of GitHub Copilot CLI, Copilot app, and Copilot in VS Code, establishing standards for AI-assisted coding, troubleshooting, testing, review, and security.
  • Partner with engineering, SRE, security, networking, and infrastructure teams to deliver resilient and cost-effective platforms while mentoring engineers and providing technical direction through architecture reviews, documentation, and stakeholder communication.

Requirements

  • Expert knowledge of MySQL administration, replication, backup and recovery, high availability, security, and performance tuning.
  • Strong hands-on Oracle Database expertise, including RMAN, Data Guard, RAC or equivalent HA architectures, backup and recovery, tuning, security, and upgrades.
  • Proven experience designing and operating highly available, resilient, enterprise-scale database platforms and leading assessments, modernization programs, cloud migrations, or architecture consulting engagements.
  • Strong Linux administration, troubleshooting, and networking knowledge, including DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing, firewalls, SSL/TLS, virtual networking, and connectivity troubleshooting.
  • Proven ability to develop, test, and review production-quality code and automation using Python, Go, Java, C#, PowerShell, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Strong experience with Terraform, Infrastructure as Code, GitHub, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD practices.
  • Experience managing databases in cloud environments, preferably Microsoft Azure, with Azure managed database services and Azure-native HA/DR experience preferred.
  • Deep understanding of SRE principles and hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, including the ability to establish standards for reviewing, testing, and validating AI-generated output.
  • Excellent consulting, communication, and technical leadership skills; experience with Kubernetes, team-level AI/agent-driven engineering workflows, and relevant Oracle, MySQL, or Microsoft Azure certifications is preferred.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
