Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Role

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Ledgy, you'll build the infrastructure and tooling that help our engineers ship quickly and reliably. You'll join our Platform team, collaborating with engineers and InfoSec to improve CI/CD, observability, and cloud infrastructure for a product that helps companies manage equity.

Our challenge is to make delivery faster, production easier to operate, and AI-assisted development safer - while keeping complexity and costs in check.

Location: We hire remotely across Spain, Germany, Poland, and Romania.

The team you'll join: Platform - Builds the infrastructure and tooling that help our engineers ship quickly and reliably, working with InfoSec to improve CI/CD, observability, and cloud infrastructure.

What You'll Work On

• Cloud infrastructure. Evolve our GCP and Kubernetes cloud architecture and setup with Terraform, improving reliability, simplicity, and cost visibility and enabling scaling to multiple availability regions.
• CI/CD and developer experience. Speed up feedback loops, reduce flaky builds, and turn recurring support requests into self-service tooling.
• Observability. Reduce alert noise, define meaningful SLOs, and make production issues easier to diagnose.
• Security and automation. Partner with InfoSec on secure delivery, access controls, and guardrails for AI-assisted workflows.

You'll also join our incident-response on-call rotation during working hours and help prevent recurring issues. As we expand our servicing of public companies and jurisdictions, this on-call might evolve to compensated 24h/7 hour rotation.

You'll Thrive in This Role If You

Don't worry if you don't tick every box. These are the things that would make you an especially good fit.

• Have strong DevOps / SRE background designing and operating cloud infrastructure and production systems
• Have worked with Kubernetes and infrastructure as code, ideally GCP and Terraform
• Enjoy building fast, reliable CI/CD pipelines and improving developer experience
• Can diagnose issues across networking, infrastructure, and application code
• Write maintainable code and bring a practical approach to observability and security
• Value collaboration, mentorship, and thoughtful trade-offs between reliability, complexity, and cost
• Are curious about supporting AI-assisted development safely - no AI specialism required

Experience with Node.js, MongoDB or Temporal is a plus.

Our Tech Stack

We work in TypeScript: React, Tailwind CSS, and tRPC on the front end, and tRPC, Node.js, MongoDB, and Temporal on the back end. Infrastructure runs on GCP, Terraform Cloud, Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions. For observability and incident response we use Grafana, Sentry, and PagerDuty.

You don't need to know all of it. We don't expect proficiency in every part of this stack. Strong infrastructure fundamentals and the ability to learn matter more than knowing every tool already.
