Hello there, we are a venture studio building and scaling multiple SaaS products. We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to work alongside our Senior DevOps Engineer. This isn't a "click buttons in AWS console" role—you'll be managing real servers, optimizing Docker containers, and building deployment pipelines that push directly to production.

Our stack: Hetzner bare metal/cloud servers | Docker | Kamal | Ruby on Rails | PostgreSQL | Redis | GitHub Actions

Must-Haves (Non-Negotiable)

Docker Mastery

• Write and optimize Dockerfiles from scratch

• Understand multi-stage builds, layer caching, and image size optimization

• Experience running containerized applications in production

Linux/Bare Metal Fluency

• Comfortable SSHing into servers and configuring them manually

• Strong knowledge of firewall management (UFW/Iptables)

• Experience with storage management, file systems, and server hardening

• You don't need a cloud dashboard to manage infrastructure

The "Kamal" Mindset

• Experience with Kamal (or similar tools like Capistrano, Dokku, or direct Docker deployments)

• Understanding of "push-to-deploy" workflows—code goes directly to servers

• Comfort with zero-downtime deployments

CI/CD Pipeline Experience

• Built pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar

• Experience with automated Docker image building and pushing to registries

• Understanding of deployment automation beyond "just running scripts"

Nice-to-Haves

• Ruby on Rails familiarity: You don't need to write Rails code, but knowing what a Rake task is and how database.yml works helps

• Hetzner experience: Cloud Networks (vSwitch), Cloud Firewalls, Dedicated Root servers

• Self-hosted monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, or similar (we don't use CloudWatch)

Database operations: Managing PostgreSQL or Redis—backups, replication, performance tuning

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with our Senior DevOps Engineer to maintain and improve our infrastructure

• Optimize Docker containers and deployment processes

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines

• Manage Hetzner servers (bare metal and cloud)

• Monitor production systems and respond to incidents

• Implement backup strategies and disaster recovery procedures
