Bergamo

Job description

Techyon is the leading Head Hunter specializing in the search and selection of senior professionals and managers in the Information Technology sector.

About the Company: For an Italian-Irish startup operating in the Cyber Intelligence field, our Recruitment Engineers are looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer.

 

Core Responsibilities:

You’ll spend the majority of your time building, operating, and improving real systems: Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and deployment workflows. The goal is simple: make our environments reliable, observable, and boring — for developers and for customers.

  • Own and operate Kubernetes-based environments across development, demo, and customer deployments
  • Improve reliability, performance, and upgradeability of existing clusters and services
  • Design and maintain deployment patterns that work in bare-metal and air-gapped environments
  • Increase developer velocity by improving CI/CD, local dev workflows, and environment consistency
  • Implement and evolve observability: metrics, logs, tracing, and alerting that people actually trust
  • Debug production issues end-to-end, from application to infrastructure
  • Collaborate closely with the CTO on platform architecture and operational standards
  • Document decisions, deployment patterns, and operational practices so the platform scales with the team

Job requirements

Must Have:
  • Strong, hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production
  • Proven ability to support, upgrade, and maintain long-lived systems
  • Experience improving reliability and performance of distributed systems
  • Comfortable working directly on infrastructure code (Helm, CI configs, cluster tooling, etc.)
  • Curiosity and pragmatism: you want to understand how things work and make them better
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with bare-metal or air-gapped Kubernetes deployments
  • Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, etc.)
  • Search or analytics platforms (e.g. OpenSearch, ClickHouse)
  • Workflow/orchestration tools (e.g. Prefect, Temporal)
  • Exposure to GPU or ML-adjacent infrastructure
  • Hetzner or similar non-hyperscaler environments
