Overview Location Overview Working with inspiring and experienced colleagues, you'll find that the atmosphere in our city-centre office in Kraków is informal and engaging. With drive and ingenuity, our teams deliver vital services to PepsiCo employees around the world. With an active, get-things-done culture, this is a place where your dynamism and agility will make a difference. The next great shift in consumer behavior driven by technological disruption is underway, and it’s happening in the food & beverage industry. As other sectors have shifted to eCommerce-first business models in recent years, food & beverage has continued to rely predominantly on traditional brick & mortar models, but this is changing rapidly. New technologies are transforming every aspect of reaching consumers, from the rise of digital marketing and online grocery platforms to the creation of supply chain tools that enable speedy at-home delivery. According to the Food Marketing Institute, 70% of U.S. consumers will shop online for groceries by 2024, with an estimated annual spend of $100 billion. To deepen our efforts to seize this opportunity and lead the food & beverage industry into its remarkable next chapter, PepsiCo – a global company with powerhouse brands including Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, and Quaker– is expanding its Global dCommerce Team. We’re looking for the greatest minds in data & analytics, software development, machine learning optimization, and next-generation supply chain. Given PepsiCo’s incredible reach – our foods and beverages are enjoyed more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories, and our value chain involves diverse partners ranging from farmers and food scientists to retailers and logistics specialists – the challenges we’re addressing are complex and the solutions will be deeply impactful. Although PepsiCo is a large multinational, the PepsiCo Global dCommerce Team prides itself on having the entrepreneurial, action-oriented culture of an exciting startup business. Our group includes startup founders, Silicon Valley veterans, food & beverage experts, and seasoned executives from digital transformation leaders such as Amazon and Walmart. Our goal is to build the technological products and capabilities that will reinvent our industry and make us the #1 food & beverage business in eCommerce for decades to come Over the past year we have built a very talented team of engineers and developed a scalable applications using Elixir, React JS, LiveView, and Kubernetes as well as data engineer platforms using Airflow, snowflake and Databricks. As a foundational team, we strive to provide a highly scalable and robust platform for our development to ensure fast and efficient deployments and ability to fail fast and rollback. This role offers many exciting challenges and opportunities: Navigating Multi-Cloud Complexity: Design architectures spanning both AWS and Azure. Balancing the unique nuances, networking patterns, and capabilities of both clouds provides a continuous, high-level engineering puzzle to solve. Champion AI-Driven DevOps: Experiment with and deploy cutting-edge AI and AIOps tooling. You will shape how we use AI to optimize infrastructure, automate code generation, and predict system anomalies. Shifting Security True Left: Break down traditional silos by seamlessly embedding advanced DevSecOps frameworks directly into enterprise-scale pipelines, making automated compliance a frictionless reality. High-Impact Architectural Influence: Drive the conversation during project intake calls. You will have a seat at the table to guide software development teams on cloud-native practices and shape application blueprints. Mentorship: Cultivate the next generation of talent. You will design mentorship approaches, run workshops, and directly elevate junior and mid-level engineers under your guidance. Responsibilities Hands-on Infrastructure as Code: Design, deploy, and maintain multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure using production-grade Terraform. Container Orchestration: Architect and manage enterprise Kubernetes clusters utilizing EKS and/or AKS, optimizing for performance, security, and cost. CI/CD & GitOps Integration: Design and evolve automated pipelines using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD, implementing robust GitOps workflows for continuous delivery. DevSecOps Integration: Embed security frameworks and automated compliance scanning directly into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure a "shift-left" security posture. AI-Driven DevOps Operations: Evaluate, implement, and leverage modern AI tooling across the software development lifecycle to optimize infrastructure automation, accelerate code reviews, and streamline troubleshooting. Technical Leadership & Engagement: Partner with software development teams during project intake; lead deep-dive technical discussions to align application architecture with cloud-native infrastructure, security, and operational best practices. Core Networking Management: Own and secure the foundational network layer, managing hybrid connectivity, VPNs, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, and DNS architectures. Mentorship & Team Growth: Actively lead, coach, and mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, paired programming, and architectural guidance. Operational Excellence: Participate in an engineering on-call rotation to ensure the high availability and reliability of our production systems. Qualifications Experience: 4+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Architecture, or Site Reliability Engineering, with a proven track record in a senior or lead capacity. Cloud Expertise & Security Tools: Strong production experience managing workloads across both AWS and Azure platforms, alongside deep familiarity with cloud-native security tools (e.g., Wiz, Cloudstrike, AWS GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud). Pipeline Security & Frameworks: Proven experience integrating security frameworks (such as OWASP, CIS Benchmarks, or NIST) and automated tools into CI/CD pipelines. This includes experience with Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dependency/SCA scanning (e.g., Snyk, SonarQube, Cloudstrike, Aqua Trivy). Infrastructure as Code: Advanced, production-tested proficiency with Terraform (modules, state management, and workspace optimization). Kubernetes Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience running mission-critical workloads on Amazon EKS and/or Azure AKS (including ingress controllers, Azure Application Gateways and network policies). CI/CD & GitOps: Extensive experience building automated pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, combined with a solid understanding of GitOps principles (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux). Networking Fundamentals: Deep understanding of core networking concepts, including Subnets, VPC/VNet peering, Routing, Firewalls, VPN topologies, and private/public DNS resolution. Soft Skills: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas to both developers and business stakeholders. Compensation and Benefits: • The expected starting compensation range for this position is 194400,0 PLN annually (gross). • Location, confirmed job-related skills, experience, and education will be considered in setting actual starting salary. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range during the hiring process. • This role is eligible for an annual bonus, based on performance and eligibility. • In addition to salary, PepsiCo offers a comprehensive benefits package to support our employees and their families, subject to elections and eligibility.
