Ciklum is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team full-time in Slovakia.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.
Our client's infrastructure powers millions of live sports events worldwide - from raw video capture at remote venues to real-time stream delivery and ML-driven monetization. As a DevOps & Platform Engineer, you will be a core contributor to the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of our cloud platform. You'll work inside a self-service, pod-based engineering model where your job is to build the platforms, pipelines, and guardrails that let product teams ship independently - at high velocity and with full operational ownership. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact individual contributor role with a clear technical growth path.
Build and maintain GitOps-based delivery pipelines (ArgoCD) so product pods deploy safely without DevOps intervention
Design and evolve self-service tooling - golden paths, deployment templates, scaffolding - that reduce pod dependency on the platform team
Implement deployment safety guardrails: config diffing, change ownership, rollout strategies, and audit trails
Adopt industry-leading AI tools and agentic workflows to accelerate development, automation, and operational delivery
5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
Production-grade Kubernetes experience: EKS/GKE, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), service mesh, multi-tenant cluster operations, resource management
Deep hands-on GitOps and CI/CD: ArgoCD or Flux, Kustomize/Helm, rollout strategies, deployment safety, change ownership, audit trails
AWS platform depth: EC2, EKS, S3, CloudFront, IAM/IRSA, VPC networking, RDS, cost optimization levers
Platform engineering orientation - you think in platforms and self-service, not one-off scripts or manual runbooks
AI-first approach - actively uses AI tools to accelerate development and operations; not just aware of them, but fluent
Ownership mentality - own outcomes end-to-end, escalate only when truly blocked, and translate infrastructure complexity into business impact
People leadership skills, including mentoring and developing engineers, as well as conducting technical interviews
GCP experience (GKE, GCS, Cloud Run) or hybrid multi-cloud operations
Video streaming infrastructure: HLS, RTMP, CDN optimization, live video pipelines
FinOps / cost optimization: cost attribution, right-sizing, storage lifecycle policies
Development background (Python, Go, Node.js, or similar)

Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door culture that values initiative and empowers its people to succeed
Fast-paced & agile environment: Be part of a dynamic, fast-moving organization that champions efficiency and innovation

Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
Flexibility: Balance office and remote work to fit your rhythm
Care: Take advantage of our extensive benefits offering, aligned with the best market standards
The salary starts from 3400 Eur gross. The final salary depends on the previous experience and professional knowledge of the candidate.
