Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Tellent, you’ll play a key role in shaping how we build, run, and scale our platform. Tellent brings together Recruitee and TelentHR to help organizations attract, hire, and grow great teams. You’ll work hands-on across our cloud infrastructure, improving reliability, simplifying systems, and strengthening our developer experience. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams, bringing an automation, observability, and security-aware mindset to everything we do.

About the team

You’ll join a small, experienced DevOps team responsible for keeping our platform stable, efficient, and developer-friendly.

We operate with high autonomy and embrace the “you build it, you run it” culture — empowering teams through automation, monitoring, and clear ownership. We think that security, reliability, performance and transparency are shared responsibilities: we continuously improve our detection, response, and audit readiness together with engineering. We work remotely first, but hybrid or office-based collaboration is possible. Our work hours are flexible with block reserved for synchronisation -10am - 4 pm.

Your journey

First 3 Months:

Learn our GCP, AWS and Kubernetes environments, Terraform structure, and GitHub Actions pipelines. Follow our onboarding process and provide feedback to it.  You will get your first simple tasks, providing the real value in 2 weeks. Receive support and navigation from other DevOps team members.  Meet the team & important stakeholders. After those 3 months you will join the on-call rotation, to understand our production systems even deeper. And last but not least — every now and then we close the laptops, meet in person, and share good food and stories.

Within 6 Months:

You start contributing to incident troubleshooting. Lead projects around  improvements in infrastructure automation, observability, and reliability. Enhance workload security by integrating AIkido findings, strengthening detection, and hardening configurations.

Take part in security audits and conduct post-mortem reviews, helping identify and close gaps.

After 1 Year:

Be a key voice shaping Tellent’s platform direction — ensuring bulletproof monitoring, secure and self-healing systems, and scalable, well-documented infrastructure. Influence microservice design and platform standards across teams, embedding security and reliability from the start.
