What you will do

• Build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform, helping engineering teams move from merge request to production faster and more reliably.
• Own and develop our monorepo, keeping applications, shared libraries, and infrastructure coherent as the codebase and engineering organization grow.
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, including incremental builds, automated deployments, and tooling that makes shipping software simpler and faster.
• Automate the creation and setup of new services, including infrastructure, Helm charts, alerts, dashboards, and deployment pipelines.
• Build internal tools and automations that improve developer experience and engineering productivity across product teams.
• Treat engineers as your users: identify what slows them down, gather requirements, and turn those problems into scalable platform solutions.
• Measure and improve build times, deployment duration, performance, and reliability, fixing root causes rather than symptoms.
• Codify engineering conventions through linting, type checks, CI gates, and automation instead of relying on manual processes.
• Work hands-on across application code and infrastructure, using technologies such as Python, Go, AWS, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Postgres, Kafka, and Grafana.
• Work closely with SRE, QA, and product engineering teams on reliability, observability, performance, and quality.
• Make pragmatic architectural decisions and evaluate trade-offs around scalability, maintainability, developer experience, and delivery speed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of engineering experience. Python preferred; real depth in Java, C#, Kotlin or Go is a heavy plus. Ideally, you are comfortable with Python alongside at least one other backend language.
• Understanding and production experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Docker, AWS and CI systems.
• Deep understanding of product development — how teams plan, ship, maintain, and troubleshoot features.
• A track record of building tooling and pipelines other engineers rely on, and real care for developer experience.
• Performance work grounded in measurement — metrics, traces and query plans rather than intuition.
• Architectural judgement in trade-offs rather than rules, avoiding both early overengineering and painted-in corners.
• Comfort in a large shared repository, and clarity about its trade-offs.
• Ability to work with a high degree of autonomy — clarify ambiguous requirements, identify what needs to be done, propose solutions, and take ownership through implementation rather than relying on detailed task specifications.
• Agile ways of working, and real investment in team processes, mentoring, and collective growth.
• A strong learning and team mindset: curiosity, willingness to grow beyond your current area of expertise, and readiness to contribute where it creates the most value for the team.
• Fluent Russian, and English at B2 level or above.

What we can offer you

• A supportive and proactive work environment.
• Competitive compensation: 5000-7000 USD Gross per month
• Fully remote and full-time collaboration.
• Modern digital tools for seamless collaboration.
