DevOps Engineer

Job description

Own the path from code to a reliable running system. This is not a “just configure CI/CD” role. You will help KOLARIS build sane environments, deployment practices, monitoring, backup, security hygiene, and incident response while the company is still small.

Job requirements

1. Strong Linux, networking, HTTP/DNS, process, filesystem, permissions, and troubleshooting fundamentals.
2. Hands-on with Docker and comfortable reasoning about containers, images, volumes, networks, secrets, and logs.
3. Understands CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, environment separation, and safe deployment / rollback concepts.
4. Familiar with web servers / reverse proxies, databases, cloud or VPS environments, and observability concepts.
5. Understands backup, restore, access control, secrets management, and basic production security hygiene.
6. Production experience is valuable, but a strong candidate can also prove readiness through serious projects, labs, or take-home work.
7. Can remain structured during incidents and communicate clearly instead of panicking or hiding uncertainty.

Responsibilities

1. Build and maintain development, staging, and production deployment workflows.
2. Own CI/CD quality: build, test, deploy, rollback, and release visibility.
3. Own production availability and work toward maximum practical uptime.
4. Choose, implement, and continuously improve a deployment strategy you can defend — such as blue-green, rolling, canary, or another appropriate approach — to minimize downtime and enable safe rollback.
5. Implement monitoring, logs, uptime checks, alerting, and sensible incident escalation.
6. Maintain server / cloud configuration, networking, SSL, DNS, secrets, and access controls.
7. Design and test backup and recovery procedures instead of assuming backups work.
8. Investigate reliability and performance issues across application and infrastructure layers.
9. Document runbooks and progressively automate repetitive operational work.
