The Senior DevOps Engineer role at Lemon.io requires a minimum of four years of professional experience specializing in building and managing scalable infrastructure primarily on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Candidates must demonstrate strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities, with a proven track record of developing engineering applications for large organizations. A deep understanding of application architecture and the capability to initiate projects from scratch are essential. Familiarity with agile methodologies is expected, alongside advanced English communication skills to effectively liaise with mostly technical clients in fast-paced startup environments. The position demands high self-organization, reliability for remote work, and adaptability to onboard and deliver quickly. While experience with AI technologies and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure is considered a plus, proficiency in additional tech stacks including React, Node.js, Python, Rust, TypeScript, and others like MLOps, Data Engineering, Blockchain, and AI Engineering is advantageous. The role offers flexible scheduling, asynchronous communication, and emphasizes autonomy without micromanagement. This senior-level position suits candidates with a bachelor's degree and significant practical experience in DevOps within diverse, international settings. The ability to collaborate remotely across multiple time zones and engage directly with clients enhances the value of the candidate. Overall, the ideal professional combines extensive cloud infrastructure expertise, strong software development insight, and excellent communication skills to support Lemon.io’s mission of connecting skilled developers with startups in the US and Europe.
