At a glance
- Work mode
- Remote · Netherlands
What you'll do
- Improve metrics, logs, traces and alerts across the Django API, data pipelines and warehouse so the team spots problems early and can diagnose them quickly
- Make GitLab pipelines fast, dependable and difficult to bypass, with review and deployment controls built into the workflow
- Remove direct-to-production paths, improve release controls and help the team establish a reliable weekly release rhythm
- Make GCP spend visible by workload and product area, then reduce waste without compromising service quality
- Improve the Terraform and Kubernetes setup so environments are reproducible, secure and clearly documented
- Add failure detection, freshness checks, replay paths and clear ownership across Datastream, Pub/Sub, dbt and BigQuery
- Help shape incident management and on-call practices, then turn recurring failures into automated checks and safeguards
What we're looking for
- Strong experience running production services on GCP
- Practical knowledge of Kubernetes and Terraform, including operating and improving infrastructure rather than only deploying to it
- Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in GitLab or a similar platform
- Evidence of having instrumented a real system and improved its metrics, logging, tracing or alerting
- Examples of treating cloud cost as an engineering concern: attributing spend, finding waste and making informed trade-offs
- Experience operating data pipelines, such as streaming ingestion, warehouse loads, dbt transformations or similar workflows
- The confidence to challenge an unsafe change and explain what needs to happen before it can ship
- Practical experience with AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude, including how you provide context and verify infrastructure changes before accepting them
- The ability to assess an imperfect system, decide what matters most and carry the improvement through to production
Nice to have
- Enough Python experience to investigate or fix issues in a Django application
- Security or compliance work in an enterprise SaaS environment
- Experience designing incident-management or on-call processes
- BigQuery cost and performance tuning
