DevOps Engineer - ESK Recruitment

Your mission We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer to join our Data team within the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) department. You will deploy, automate, and maintain databases — primarily on Kubernetes — serving 500+ developers across multiple environments. This is a practical, engineering-heavy role. You will work daily with Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, Ansible playbooks, and CI/CD pipelines to keep databases running reliably at scale. If you have deployed and managed any database on Kubernetes (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB — anything counts), and you enjoy solving real operational problems rather than just writing YAML, this role is for you. You will join a small, focused team of experienced engineers and start contributing from day one. We value practical experience over theoretical knowledge. What You Will Do a) Deploy and operate databases on Kubernetes Deploy and manage database clusters using Kubernetes operators (e.g., CloudNativePG, ECK, or any equivalent operator you have worked with). Handle day-to-day database operations: provisioning, scaling, backups, failover, upgrades, and user management. Troubleshoot production issues across multiple database engines (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, MySQL, Cassandra, ClickHouse, MongoDB). b) Build and maintain automation Write and maintain Ansible playbooks, Helm charts, and Terraform modules for database lifecycle management. Automate repetitive operational tasks: credential rotation, configuration drift detection, and backup verification. Integrate database services with GitOps workflows (ArgoCD) and secrets management (External Secrets Operator, OpenBao). c) Support the platform and the team Create operational runbooks and documentation for database procedures. Collaborate with other teams on monitoring, alerting, and access control for databases.
