As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of digital projects, leveraging your expertise in Azure DevOps, AWS, or other relevant technologies.

Day-to-day, you will work closely with clients who have technical backgrounds, making it essential to have strong technical communication skills. The ability to discuss complex technical issues, justify decisions, and present solutions effectively is crucial. You will also be expected to work independently, managing your time and projects with minimal supervision, which requires a high level of self-organization and reliability.

Lemon.io values autonomy and flexibility, allowing you to choose a schedule that works best for you. The company emphasizes asynchronous communication or minimal overlap with team working hours, respecting your seniority and work style. This approach not only fosters a healthy work-life balance but also encourages a culture of trust and accountability among team members.

  • At least 3 years of experience with Azure DevOps, AWS, GCP, or SQL, and experience with commercial projects using these technologies
  • Strong technical skills, including the ability to create projects from scratch and manage complex digital infrastructure
  • Clear and effective communication in English, with the ability to discuss business tasks and technical issues
  • Self-organizational skills, with the ability to work full-time remotely with minimal supervision
  • Reliability and adaptability, with a focus on delivering high-quality results under deadlines
  • Experience with Python, Terraform, or Kubernetes is a plus
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and quickly adapt to new technologies and challenges

  • Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices and compliance
  • Certification in DevOps, AWS, Azure, or similar technologies
