B2B RATE 220–270 PLN/h + VAT Final rate depends on seniority, AWS/EKS depth and platform ownership experience.

The Mission

West Code is supporting the build of a new greenfield international gaming platform. We are looking for a Senior / Principal DevOps Engineer to strengthen the PAM / Core Platform area and help shape the AWS platform used by multiple engineering teams.

This is not a ticket-driven infrastructure role. We need someone who can take ownership of platform decisions, production reliability, developer enablement and the operational foundations of a high-volume transactional system.

What You’ll Own

• AWS platform architecture and production readiness
• Kubernetes / EKS environments and workload platform
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
• CI/CD and GitOps-based deployment workflows
• environment and account separation across development, test and production
• scaling, capacity, resilience and cost-aware infrastructure decisions
• observability, alerting and incident-readiness
• secrets, IAM, access control and platform security guardrails
• developer self-service and platform automation
• disaster recovery, backup and operational continuity patterns

Must Have

• strong hands-on AWS experience in production environments
• deep Kubernetes / EKS knowledge
• Terraform or equivalent Infrastructure as Code expertise
• CI/CD and GitOps experience (for example Argo CD or similar)
• strong understanding of networking, IAM, secrets and cloud security
• production monitoring and observability experience
• experience designing or operating highly available distributed systems
• ability to troubleshoot complex production incidents
• strong ownership and ability to work directly with senior engineers and architects
• good English

Strong Advantage

• high-volume fintech, payments, gaming, adtech or other data-intensive platforms
• Kafka / MSK and event-driven systems
• Karpenter, HPA/VPA and workload autoscaling
• Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK / OpenSearch or similar
• Cilium or advanced Kubernetes networking
• Vault, AWS Secrets Manager or External Secrets
• multi-account AWS environments
• experience defining platform standards used by multiple engineering teams
• SRE practices, SLI/SLO design and incident management

Engineering Environment

AWS

• EKS / Kubernetes
• Terraform
• GitOps
• Argo CD
• Kafka / MSK
• Docker
• OpenTelemetry
• Prometheus / Grafana
• CI/CD

Working Model

• B2B cooperation
• remote work from Poland
• initial workshops in Kraków and follow-up onsite sessions approximately once per quarter
• international engineering environment with English used on the project
• role shared across the platform rather than limited to a single product team

Why West Code

At West Code, we build engineering teams around ownership and strong technical delivery. This role gives you direct influence on how the platform is built, operated and scaled from the beginning.

You’ll work with senior engineers on a true greenfield platform where AWS architecture, reliability, automation and developer experience are foundational rather than an afterthought.

If you like owning platforms rather than just maintaining pipelines, let’s talk.
