Role Overview

We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to own the infrastructure that keeps WatchMen running reliably — from AWS cloud services down to a distributed fleet of edge devices sitting on factory floors. This is a hands-on role across cloud infra, CI/CD, monitoring, and self-hosted services, not a ticket-queue ops job.

What You'll Work On

- Managing AWS infrastructure via Terraform, ECS on EC2, ALB, networking, and dedicated-tenant VPC architecture

- Operating our Docker Swarm–based backend deployment and improving its reliability and scaling

- Maintaining our data infrastructure: PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, PgBouncer, and Redpanda/Kafka event pipelines

- Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines on self-hosted GitLab CE

- Owning observability: Grafana Cloud dashboards, OpenTelemetry tracing, and alerting for both cloud services and production incidents

- Managing Grafana Alloy fleet monitoring across our Raspberry Pi/edge device fleet deployed at customer sites (remote config, log pipelines, health metrics)

- Maintaining self-hosted internal services (MQTT broker/EMQX, Vaultwarden, n8n) behind Caddy reverse proxies

- Diagnosing infrastructure-level production issues, network, database, message broker, and container orchestration problems

- Hardening system security, including tools like Wazuh

Requirements

- 3–6 years of professional DevOps/infrastructure experience

- Strong hands-on experience with Docker and container orchestration (Docker Swarm, ECS, or Kubernetes)

- Experience with Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool





- Solid Linux systems administration and networking fundamentals

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar)

- Comfortable debugging production incidents independently

Nice to Have

- Experience with AWS specifically (ECS, ALB, VPC design)

- Experience with time-series databases (TimescaleDB) or event streaming (Kafka/Redpanda)

- Experience with MQTT or managing distributed IoT/edge device fleets

- Experience with Grafana, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry-based observability stacks

- Exposure to self-hosted service management (GitLab, reverse proxies like Caddy/nginx)
