  • Optimize infrastructure for performance, reliability, security, and cost efficiency

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers and product teams, contributing to architectural decisions and the evolution of the platform

  • 3+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer in production environments

  • Experience designing and building high-load infrastructure from scratch

  • Hands-on experience with streaming, WebRTC, or social/multimedia products

  • Production experience with Kubernetes, including scaling, autoscaling, and troubleshooting

  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Ansible

  • Experience with AWS or GCP, including compute, networking, and managed services

  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, along with GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and Helm

  • Knowledge of observability tools, including Prometheus, Grafana, logging, and distributed tracing

  • Strong networking fundamentals, including UDP, RTP/RTCP, low-latency networking, and TURN/STUN (coturn)

  • Experience with load testing and performance optimization for high-traffic production systems


Would be a plus
  • Experience with media servers, such as mediasoup, LiveKit, Janus, or Jitsi
  • Experience optimizing bandwidth-heavy streaming platforms and improving infrastructure cost efficiency
  • Proficiency in scripting with Python, Go, or Bash
