DevOps / Cloud Engineer

About the Position

Behind every project we ship, there’s infrastructure that needs to be solid, secure, and cost-efficient. You’ll own that layer at Kainjoo - from provisioning and CI/CD to monitoring, cost management, and making sure our developers can move fast without breaking things in production.

Responsibilities

You’ll manage cloud infrastructure across client projects, set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines, and ensure our deployments are reliable, observable, and secure. You’ll also be the person developers turn to when they need help with environments or something breaks in an unexpected way.

• Provision and manage cloud infrastructure (DigitalOcean, AWS, GCP, or similar)
• Configure and maintain automated deployment pipelines
• Set up and manage CI/CD workflows - automated testing, staging deploys, production releases
• Maintain staging environments that closely mirror production
• Configure CDN, DNS, SSL, WAF, and security rules
• Manage caching layers, background workers, and queue infrastructure
• Set up application monitoring, uptime checks, and alerting
• Monitor and optimise cloud costs across client infrastructure
• Manage database backups, connection pooling, and performance tuning
• Implement security best practices: secrets management, firewall rules, environment isolation
• Support developers with local environment setup and staging configuration

Requirements

Personality

• You think about reliability and cost before someone asks you to
• You document infrastructure decisions so the team isn’t dependent on tribal knowledge
• You’re proactive about monitoring - you’d rather catch an issue before it becomes an incident
• You communicate clearly about trade-offs between speed, cost, and stability
• You’re comfortable working across multiple projects with different setups

Experience

• 3+ years of DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (DigitalOcean, AWS, or GCP)
• Experience with managed deployment platforms (Forge, Railway, Render, or similar)
• Strong understanding of Linux server administration
• Experience setting up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker)
• Awareness of cloud cost management and infrastructure optimisation

Nice to Have

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Pulumi)
• Familiarity with managed database and caching services
• Experience managing WebSocket or long-lived connection server deployments
• Background in monitoring stack setup (Grafana, Datadog, Sentry, or similar)

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent practical experience
• AWS, GCP, or DigitalOcean certifications are a plus
• Fluent in English; French is a plus
