NuxGame is a dynamic IT company delivering top-tier software solutions for the iGaming industry. We empower operators of all sizes to expand into new markets, strengthen their existing brands, and achieve ambitious business goals.

We are looking for a DevOps TL to join our team. If you are passionate about building resilient infrastructure, leading talented engineers, and ensuring high availability for high-load systems, this is the place for you.

Tech Stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, New Relic, Aurora, Redis, Cloudflare, Python/Bash.


Your Responsibilities:

You will be responsible for the reliability and scalability of our platform infrastructure, leading the team towards operational excellence.

  • Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and grow the DevOps team. Set technical priorities, optimize delivery workflows (hiring, performance reviews), and foster a culture of engineering excellence.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Design and maintain scalable, multi-account AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Helm. Drive the adoption of GitOps practices for consistent environment management.
  • Kubernetes Orchestration: Lead the development and support of high-availability EKS clusters, focusing on autoscaling, networking (CNI/Service Mesh), and resource optimization.
  • Operational Excellence: Support continuous delivery through optimized CI/CD pipelines. Ensure 99.9%+ availability via robust monitoring, incident response protocols, and proactive system performance tuning.
  • Security & Compliance: Strengthen security controls across the platform. Implement Zero-Trust principles, manage IAM/Secrets, and oversee Cloudflare security services (WAF, DDoS protection).
  • Database Operations: Ensure reliability of stateful services (MySQL/Aurora, Redis), automating backups, failover strategies, and performance tuning.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Backend, Product, and QA teams to align infrastructure roadmap with business goals and eliminate bottlenecks in the development lifecycle.


What we expect from you:

  • Experience: 5+ years in a DevOps role with 2+ years in a leadership position (managing team workflows, mentoring, reporting).
  • AWS Expertise: Deep understanding of AWS ecosystem (multi-account organizations, advanced networking, security best practices, and cost optimization).
  • Kubernetes Mastery: Advanced experience with EKS (HA networking, PodDisruptionBudgets, NodeGroups, Service Mesh, Cilium/eBPF).
  • IaC & GitOps: Strong proficiency with Terraform (multi-environment modules) and GitOps tools (FluxCD or ArgoCD).
  • CI/CD Strategies: Experience designing secure, scalable deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) for PHP and Go applications.
  • Observability: Expert knowledge of monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, New Relic, Sentry) and experience designing custom metrics/alerts strategies.
  • Security Fundamentals: Strong grasp of network segmentation, SSL/TLS, Secrets Management (AWS Secrets Manager/External Secrets Operator), and compliance basics.
  • Automation: Proficiency in Python or Bash for creating operational tooling and automation scripts.


It will be a plus:

  • Architecture: Experience with Multi-Region and Multi-Cloud architectures, cross-cluster networking, and disaster recovery strategies.
  • Streaming Data: Experience with Kafka/MSK or other event streaming systems.
  • Compliance: Experience with PCI DSS or equivalent compliance frameworks.
  • Performance: Deep understanding of Linux internals and advanced caching strategies (Redis, Cloudflare, S3 tiering).
  • Cost Management: Strong background in FinOps and cost optimization techniques across cloud providers.
