DevOps Engineer

Your Opportunity

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join the Hypernode Tech Team.

Hypernode is a specialist managed hosting provider with a complete focus on e-commerce. On our hosting platform, we host web shops built with Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce, and Akeneo, among others. We collaborate extensively with website builders and developers to provide top-notch hosting solutions for their web shops.

What your day will look like

You’ll be a pivotal member of an agile team, taking a leading role in architecting, automating, scaling, and maintaining Hypernode’s infrastructure and service offering. We champion high code quality, relying on automated tests (unit and integration), peer reviews, and following continuous delivery best practices as our standard.

As a senior member of the team, your responsibilities include:

• Infrastructure Architecture and Strategic Scalability: lead architectural decisions for our infrastructure and drive solutions that transition our platform for future growth, performing strategic trade-offs between stability, cost, and performance.

• Ownership of Automation and IaC Standards: define and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation standards to ensure consistency across the Hypernode Platform, while autonomously steering initiatives to reduce manual effort and technical debt.

• Operational Accountability and Platform Resilience: take personal responsibility for infrastructure stability, technical outcomes, and failures, taking a leading role in post-mortems to turn incidents into structural improvements for the Hypernode platform.

• Mentorship and DevOps Culture: mentor junior/medior colleagues by clearly communicating the reasoning behind infrastructure decisions, lead code reviews, and foster a culture of reliability and automation within the team.

• System Reliability and Observability Engineering: drive the reliability of our services by implementing advanced observability and monitoring strategies, utilizing profiling tools and capacity planning to handle ever increasing load and complexity in a performant manner.

Our Projects and Collaboration:

• The Hypernode customer platform.

• Hypernode Control (our core automation engine).

• Internal infrastructure platform.

• Internal and external APIs and client libraries.

You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across technical, commercial, product, and operational areas, translating business needs into robust infrastructure solutions.

Our tech stack

While our application stack includes technologies like Python, Django, and React/Vue, your core toolkit for this role will be focused on automation, infrastructure, and CI/CD. We’re constantly evolving our platform, and you’ll be expected to influence our technical direction and help shape the tools we use.

Your Profile:

• Extensive professional experience with Python and Bash.

• Proven track record of architecting and managing infrastructure-as-code using tools like Ansible, Puppet and Terraform.

• Professional experience with cloud platforms like OpenStack and AWS.

• Strong, hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Podman) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Mastery of version control workflows (we use Git & GitLab).

• Extensive experience architecting, building, and orchestrating systems for internal and customer infrastructure.

• Demonstrated ability to architect and reason about complex systems and interconnected (micro) services.

• Deep, practical knowledge of servers and Linux, clusters, domain registration and SSL.

• Able to debug and troubleshoot server-related problems spanning configurations, environment variables, services, etc.

• Willingness to participate in a rotating on-call schedule providing after-hour support to our customers.

• Great communication skills (our team language is English).
