Our client is a media-focused software company delivering world-class platforms used by influencers, creators, and brand ambassadors. Their innovative software powers interactions across multiple digital channels, offering users access to indexed content from sources worldwide.
As they continue to expand, they are looking for a DevOps Engineer or Platform Specialist who will play a pivotal role in leading the transformation and scalability of their infrastructure and site reliability.

- A solid understanding of horizontal scalability for distributed systems.
- Experience with Ansible, Puppet, or Chef for configuration management.
- Proficiency with databases and storage technologies (SQL, MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch).
What You'll Bring:
- DevOps is your passion, and you thrive in environments where both *on-prem* and cloud solutions come together.
- A background in software development is advantageous, but leading DevOps initiatives and driving innovation is your core strength.
- You have experience scripting in Python or Bash and a solid programming foundation in languages like Java, Kotlin, C#, Ruby, Golang, Node.js, or C++.
- You have successfully built highly available systems at scale, managing infrastructure that supports mission-critical applications.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a key role within a fast-growing, innovative company, leveraging your **on-prem expertise** alongside cutting-edge cloud technologies to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of media software.
