  • Apply best practices in security, scalability, and efficiency across production environments.
  • Collaborate with development teams to implement and maintain CI/CD practices.
  • Enhance application performance and security using Cloudflare (DDoS protection, CDN, domain management).
  • Provide technical support for applications deployed on Vercel and other front-end platforms.
  • Monitor infrastructure and handle incident response when required.
  • Document processes and propose continuous improvements in stability, cost, and performance.

Requirements

  • Strong expertise with AWS (Lambda, ECS, VPC, RDS) and monitoring and improving database performance.
  • Advanced knowledge of PostgreSQL or MySQL (tuning, replication, security).
  • Proven experience in CI/CD, automation, and scripting (Bash, Python).
  • Proficiency with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Solid understanding of Linux and networking fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience with Cloudflare (CDN, security, DDoS protection).
  • Familiarity with Vercel and front-end deployment optimization.
  • Fluent communication in English (oral and written).

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience implementing microservices and container-based architectures.
  • Knowledge of Terraform or CloudFormation for infrastructure as code (IaC).
  • Experience with monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog).
  • AWS or Database certifications.
  • Experience working in fintech or digital financial products.

Additional Skills:

  • Analytical, proactive, and problem-solving attitude.
  • Strong ownership and accountability.
  • Clear communication and team collaboration.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on a high-impact project within a fast-growing fintech.
  • 100% remote, flexible, results-oriented culture.
