About the role
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Tellent , you’ll play a key role in shaping how we build, run, and scale our platform. Tellent brings together Recruitee and TellentHR to help organizations attract, hire, and grow great teams. You’ll work hands-on across our cloud infrastructure, collaborating closely with engineering teams — bringing an automation, observability, and security-aware mindset to everything we do.
About the team
You’ll join a small, experienced DevOps team responsible for keeping our platform stable, efficient, and developer-friendly. We operate with high autonomy and embrace the “you build it, you run it” culture — empowering teams through automation, monitoring, and clear ownership. We think that security, reliability, performance and transparency are shared
responsibilities:
- we continuously improve our detection, response, and audit readiness together with engineering.
- We work remotely first , but hybrid or office-based collaboration is possible.
- Our work hours are flexible with a core block reserved for synchronisation — 10 am–4 pm .
- Because we're remote-first, we rely heavily on asynchronous communication .
- We share context openly — explaining our reasoning, updating progress, and managing expectations of the teams we support.
- This makes our work visible, builds trust, and ensures continuity — especially critical during on-call handoffs.
- Your journey First 3 Months: Learn our GCP, AWS and Kubernetes environments, Terraform structure, and GitHub Actions pipelines.
- Follow our onboarding process and provide feedback to it. You will get your first simple tasks, providing the real value in 2 weeks.
- Receive support and navigation from other DevOps team members. Meet the team & important stakeholders.
- After those 3 months you will join the on-call rotation, to understand our production systems even deeper.
- And last but not least — every now and then we close the laptops, meet in person, and share good food and stories.
- Within 6 Months: You independently lead projects — scoping work, breaking it into deliverables, and communicating progress to the team.
- Focus areas include infrastructure automation, observability, and reliability improvements.
- You contribute to incident troubleshooting.
- Enhance workload security by integrating AIkido findings, strengthening detection, and hardening configurations.
- Take part in security audits and conduct post-mortem reviews, helping identify and close gaps.
- After 1 Year: Be a key voice shaping Tellent’s platform direction — ensuring bulletproof monitoring, secure and self-healing systems, and scalable, well-documented infrastructure.
- Influence microservice design and platform standards across teams, embedding security and reliability from the start.
