You build and maintain real services and tooling, write tests, and care about code quality, not just scripts. * Roughly 6+ years of professional software engineering, with several in DevOps / SRE operating production systems. You have owned deployments and been on the hook for reliability and on-call. * A track record of owning meaningful infrastructure projects end to end, ideally including a migration of a stateful or business-critical system with minimal disruption. You plan around operational windows, sequence work so each step has a rollback, and would rather phase a migration over weeks than take one clever shortcut. * Real depth in AWS, beyond launching resources in a single account. You have worked with multi-account organizations, IAM and cross-account access, VPC and network design, DNS, secrets management, and encryption key management, and you understand how those pieces constrain each other. You know the difference between provisioning and configuration management, and you default to least privilege. * Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production. You have operated real clusters, not just deployed to someone else's: upgrades, networking and ingress, RBAC, resource management and autoscaling, and debugging a workload that is misbehaving under load. EKS and the surrounding ecosystem (ArgoCD or Flux, Helm, operators, multi-tenant clusters) is a strong plus. This is the clearest gap on our team and a large part of why we are opening this role. * Strong infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform or similar). You have worked in a codebase that did not start out fully covered and improved it. * Real depth in monitoring and observability, and not only as a consumer of one managed vendor. You instrument systems thoughtfully, define metrics, alerts, and dashboards as code, and can introduce distributed tracing where none exists. Comfort operating the open-source stack (Prometheus, Grafana, and log and search clusters such as Elasticsearch or OpenSearch) matters here: capacity, retention, index lifecycle, and upgrades, not just querying it. * Hands-on operational experience with stateful systems: relational databases, message brokers, or both. You have done a version upgrade, a replication change, or a restore under pressure and know why backups you have not tested do not count. * Comfort operating and improving systems you did not build. Some of our most important work involves reading unfamiliar code, mapping undocumented dependencies, and making careful changes to systems whose original authors are not available to ask. * You communicate clearly, write good documentation, mentor teammates, and can drive cross-team coordination on shared infrastructure. * You are genuinely excited about AI-assisted development and the role of AI in modern infrastructure. You either use these tools today (Claude Code, MCP, agents) or are eager to, and you want to help build the platform that supports them safely. Nice to Have * Experience with the HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, Vault). * Experience introducing Kubernetes to an organization that did not already run it, or operating it alongside another scheduler. * Experience running self-hosted CI and build tooling (Jenkins, ArgoCD, artifact repositories). * Experience with OpenTelemetry, or with consolidating several overlapping monitoring tools into one coherent stack. * Experience testing event-driven workflows, and with managed streaming platforms such as MSK. * Experience with AWS Organizations and Control Tower, service control policies, or leading an account restructuring or consolidation. * Experience owning an identity migration or SSO consolidation (Auth0, Okta, Cognito, Keycloak, or similar). * Experience building internal developer tooling or CLIs, and improving parity between local, dev, and production environments. * Ability to read Java or C++ well enough to debug and modify services in those languages, even if you would not choose to write them. * Hands-on experience with AI developer tooling (Claude Code, MCP servers, agent workflows) or with running model infrastructure (e.g. AWS Bedrock). * Interest in the energy industry and the clean energy transition. ## Description Are you interested in building the technical foundation of the worldwide transition to clean energy? Do you enjoy working with a highly motivated and talented team to deliver mission critical software?, Voltus is growing our Infrastructure team to help deploy, manage, troubleshoot, and enhance the Platform and tooling that every Voltus engineer and our dispatch-critical systems depend on. As a Senior Software Engineer on Infrastructure, you will own significant pieces of our core Platform, mentor other engineers, and help set the technical direction for how we build, deploy, and operate services at Voltus. You will join a team of 7 engineers supporting roughly 60 engineers across the org, so the leverage on your work is high and so is the responsibility. ## Related Videos - [The Road to MLOps: How Verivox Transitioned to AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1050-the-road-to-mlops-how-verivox-transitioned-to-aws) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Our GitOps approach for deploying an Identity Provider and an API Gateway in a SaaS company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/776-our-gitops-approach-for-deploying-an-identity-provider-and-an-api-gateway-in-a-saas-company) - [Inside Bitpanda's Tech Stack: Scaling a European Fintech Leader - Markus Dorner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1979-inside-bitpanda-s-tech-stack-scaling-a-european-fintech-leader-markus-dorner) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
