## About the Role

production-grade: monitoring, alerting, deployment pipelines, disaster recovery. Work at the network level. Debug packet flows, optimize routing, understand why latency spikes between nodes in different regions. This is not a "deploy containers and forget" role. Automate everything that should be automated. If you're doing something manually twice, build a system for it. Drive your own strategic projects. Beyond firefighting, you'll identify what needs fixing at a structural level, propose it, get alignment, and own it end-to-end. This isn't a role where someone else does all the thinking and hands you a backlog. What we need from you (non-negotiable) Networking fundamentals you can defend live - subnetting, NAT, routing, DNS, TLS. Not textbook definitions, but the ability to reason through a scenario out loud. Real bare-metal experience - actual hands-on with physical infrastructure at some point in your career. DevOps as genuine curiosity, not just a job -
something you built or broke on your own time, not because a ticket told you to. A proven root-cause habit - a specific story where you found the actual cause of an issue, not just where you patched the symptom. 5+ years hands-on in DevOps / SRE / Infrastructure roles. (3-5 years are welcome to apply, but should be ready to demonstrate senior-level systems thinking live.) Comfort with on-call and incident response. Strong plus Proxy protocols, traffic routing at scale, or CDN/edge experience. Self-hosted ClickHouse, Redis, Kafka, MongoDB. English good enough for a live technical conversation; Russian a plus but not required. What we offer Fully remote, four-day work week. Compensation paid in GBP. Reporting directly to the CTO. Paid time off and sick leave.

## Description

in. This role is for someone who genuinely likes a challenge and is driven by results, who values personal freedom and flexibility (fully remote, four-day work week) - but who also wants real intensity: hard problems, real ownership, and a startup pace. What you're walking into A geo-distributed system routing proxy traffic across bare-metal nodes globally - millions of nodes, real traffic, real money riding on it. The tangle we mentioned: overlapping fixes, inconsistent patterns, and infrastructure that works but wasn't always built the same way twice. Low-level networking challenges: routing, load balancing, protocol-level debugging. A lean team where your impact is immediately visible. An on-call rotation shared with one other engineer. What you'll actually do Troubleshoot and fix things. Incidents happen. You dig in, find root causes, and resolve them - not "coordinate the response," but actually do the work. Rebuild infrastructure properly. Take what we have and make it
