SRE/DevOps Engineer

• Act as a first responder to production incidents: diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve issues quickly to minimize downtime
• Take part in a global, rotating on call schedule as part of the “follow the sun” team structure
• Conduct root cause analyses (RCAs), implement permanent fixes, and feed lessons learned back into the development process
• Design, implement, and maintain automation tools and CI/CD pipelines to streamline operations and deployments
• Manage and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), ensuring consistency, reliability, and security
• Develop and refine monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies (Datadog) to give deep visibility into system health across all client regions
• Collaborate with development teams to optimize system performance and efficiency
• Work closely with engineering teams across time zones: define reliability requirements, review code with an operational eye, and drive a culture of shared ownership
• Spend time on site with clients in Barcelona to build strong relationships and align on technical priorities

• 4+ years of proven experience as a DevOps Engineer, SRE, or similar role
• Strong practical experience with AWS cloud services
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform
• Solid understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Bash, Go)
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex production issues across multiple layers of a technology stack
• Fluent in English (required for daily communication with global teams and clients). Spanish is a plus but not mandatory
• Excellent communication skills: you’re comfortable explaining technical issues to clients and working in a globally distributed team
• A calm, proactive mindset under pressure: when production is down, you’re the one who stays focused and gets things back on track

• Join a strong, international SRE / DevOps team working on high profile projects for major global brands
• Be part of the early team in the new Barcelona hub, with a real voice in how things are built
• Salary: €60K to €75K gross/year, depending on experience and seniority (freelance or permanent contract)
• Flexible working culture: no micromanagement, no hour counting. Hybrid setup with 2 to 3 days per week in the office or on site with clients in Barcelona
• A good balance between firefighting and building: when systems are stable, you’ll spend your time on automation and long term improvements
• Fast interview process: a screening call, a 50 minute interview with the CTO, and a possible final technical test
• A leadership team that’s honest, transparent, and genuinely invested in its people

Do you love the moment when an alert fires, you jump in, find the root cause, and make sure it never happens again? Are you the kind of engineer who automates anything you have to do twice, and who can explain what’s going on in production to a client just as easily as to a fellow engineer? If you want to join a strong global team working on high traffic platforms for major international brands, this one’s for you.

Our client is a global digital marketing agency with 17 years in the game, offices in the US (Milwaukee), the Philippines, New Zealand, Bahrain, and France. They work with major international brands, including one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical groups, delivering enterprise level web experiences on complex CMS platforms.

They have recently opened their European hub in Barcelona and are growing the team. You’ll join their existing SRE / DevOps team, which runs on a “follow the sun” model: engineers across the US, APAC, and Europe share 24/7 coverage, so every region can rely on fast response at any hour. Your mission is twofold: react quickly and effectively when things go wrong, and build, automate, and improve when everything runs smoothly.
