The Problem You Will Solve

We built a large platform quickly. Now it has to run like a proper one. Today code reaches production by hand. There is no build pipeline, no test gate, no clean rollback. When something breaks at 2am, we usually hear it from a customer.

This is a rebuild of how we ship. Not a maintenance job.

What You Will Do

• Build CI/CD so code goes out tested, automatically, and rolls back in one step
• Monitoring and alerting that tells us before the customer does
• Fix scheduled jobs that run on more than one server and do the same work twice
• Make deployments boring — the same result every time, on every server
• Own backups and restores, and prove the restore works
• Harden Linux, nginx, systemd and process management
• Bring MySQL and MongoDB operations under control — migrations, schema changes, monitoring, connection limits
• Build the infrastructure side of our data retention and deletion rules, with the compliance manager

What we expect from you

• You automate anything done twice
• Your alerts are actionable. An alert nobody acts on is noise, and you own removing it
• A backup is not real until a restore has been done. We expect a restore drill, not an assurance
• You leave no snowflake servers. Whatever you configure by hand ends up in a script or a document
• You measure before and after. Deploy time, failure rate, time to detect a problem. Bring numbers
• First 30 days: a complete inventory — every server, service, cron job and where each one actually runs
• First 90 days: a working pipeline, monitoring that alerts before customers do, and one tested restore
• Ongoing: you share the on-call rota, and you are the person who makes on-call quieter

What you must have

• 3+ years running production systems. 7+ and we are very interested
• CI/CD you built from scratch, not just used
• nginx, systemd, pm2 or equivalent process management
• Monitoring and alerting — Prometheus, Grafana or similar
• MySQL and MongoDB operations: backups, replication, migrations
• Bash and Python scripting, Git, Docker
• Bare metal and self-managed servers, not only managed cloud

To Apply

CV to [email], plus one answer: what did you automate that used to be done by hand? What did it look like before, what does it look like now, and how much time or how many incidents did it save?
