Athens, Greece Hybrid upper-quartile for Greek/EU market

Kiefer is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Role

Shape the future of infrastructure for a growing AI-native platform. As the first dedicated DevOps hire, you’ll establish standards that scale across services, ensuring reliability, security, and efficiency from day one.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and standardize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Helm for over 10 microservices
  • Implement centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting to improve system visibility
  • Extend Terraform to manage the full AWS environment, enabling consistent infrastructure-as-code
  • Enhance deployment safety with staging environments, health checks, and rollback mechanisms
  • Strengthen security through container scanning, secrets management, and network policies
  • Streamline local development using Docker Compose for full-service orchestration

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–7+ years in infrastructure or DevOps roles with production systems at scale
  • Proven experience with Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, and AWS services including ECR, S3, and IAM
  • Strong background in Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools
  • Hands-on work building observability in distributed systems (logs, metrics, tracing)
  • Proficiency in CI/CD pipeline design, preferably with GitHub Actions

Nice to Have

  • Experience with GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Flux
  • Familiarity with MLOps, model serving, or GPU workload management
  • Operational knowledge of Kafka or event-driven architectures
  • Cloud cost optimization experience
  • Scripting skills in Python or Bash for automation

Environment & Culture

Work in a high-autonomy, engineering-first setting with minimal meetings and an async-first communication style. You’ll have full ownership of infrastructure decisions and a clear path to leadership. The team operates fully remotely within the EU or in hybrid mode from Athens.

Compensation is competitive, aligned with the upper quartile for the Greek and EU markets. Professional growth is supported through dedicated funding for certifications, courses, and conferences.
