About the Role
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer who thrives in building automation, scaling systems, and ensuring secure, reliable deployments. You’ll work on a mix of infrastructure and application delivery, helping us design and run mission-critical systems in a private cloud environment.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll shape CI/CD pipelines, manage Kubernetes clusters, and bring infrastructure to life with Infrastructure as Code. You’ll also collaborate closely with developers, security, and infrastructure teams to make sure everything runs smoothly, securely, and at scale.
 
What You’ll Do
    • Automate everything: Design and manage GitLab CI/CD pipelines for builds, testing, and deployments.
    • Infrastructure as Code: Use OpenTofu (or Terraform) to provision servers, VMs, and Kubernetes clusters.
    • Container orchestration: Deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters (Proxmox-based), including networking and security policies.
    • Secrets management: Implement secure storage and access with OpenBao, integrated into pipelines and Kubernetes.
    • Monitoring & reliability: Set up observability with Prometheus and Grafana, and handle troubleshooting when things go wrong.
    • Collaboration: Partner with development and infrastructure teams to improve workflows and share best practices.
 
What We’re Looking For
    • 5+ years in DevOps, infrastructure, or software engineering.
    • Solid experience with Kubernetes (pods, services, ingress, operators) in private cloud setups.
    • Hands-on experience with GitLab CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code (OpenTofu/Terraform).
    • Familiarity with secrets management (OpenBao), monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana), and container runtimes like CRI-O.
    • Knowledge of Proxmox for VM and infrastructure management.
    • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate across teams.
 
Why Join
You’ll be part of a growing engineering hub in Cape Town, working on projects that push the limits of robotics and automation. If you enjoy solving complex problems, automating at scale, and making systems secure and reliable, this role gives you the platform to do it.
