At Patrianna, we build a high-performance B2B platform for the global iGaming industry, enabling partners to launch and scale digital gaming products across multiple international markets. Our platform serves as the foundation for multiple gaming brands, providing the core systems that power gameplay, integrations, and platform capabilities across different markets.

• Own the DevOps roadmap and delivery outcomes – establish clear roadmaps across SRE and Platform Engineering, translate priorities into concrete initiatives and commitments, and ensure teams deliver against realistic timelines;
• Drive predictable execution – establish effective planning and execution practices, track progress against commitments, identify delivery risks early, manage dependencies, and ensure clear ownership of initiatives;
• Lead SRE and Platform Engineering – provide leadership across both operational reliability and longer-term platform development, balancing immediate production needs with strategic infrastructure improvements;
• Own people management – manage and develop DevOps engineers, including performance reviews, career development, compensation and promotion input, hiring, team structure, and handling performance concerns when needed;
• Partner with engineering teams – work closely with Engineering Managers, Team Leads, and engineers across the organization to understand infrastructure needs, resolve systemic problems, and ensure the platform enables rather than blocks product delivery.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership – stay close to infrastructure and production systems, participate in architecture discussions, challenge technical decisions, review proposed solutions, and contribute directly when complex problems require it;
• Drive platform reliability – continuously improve availability, resilience, observability, incident response, capacity management, and operational readiness across the platform;
• Strengthen incident management – ensure incidents are handled effectively, root causes are understood, postmortems produce meaningful actions, and recurring operational problems are systematically eliminated;
• Evolve the engineering platform – drive initiatives around Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, observability, scalability, security, and developer experience;
• Improve engineering effectiveness – identify bottlenecks, repetitive operational work, and inefficient processes, and drive automation and platform improvements that increase engineering productivity;
• Drive infrastructure efficiency – continuously evaluate infrastructure architecture, resource utilization, and cloud costs, identifying opportunities to improve performance and reliability while keeping the platform cost-efficient.

• Engineering leadership experience – proven experience leading infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering teams while balancing technical leadership, delivery ownership, and people management;
• Strong delivery ownership – ability to build realistic roadmaps, break complex technical initiatives into executable work, establish commitments and deadlines, identify risks, and drive initiatives through to completion;
• Strong communication skills – able to communicate clearly with engineers and leadership, challenge assumptions constructively, explain technical trade-offs, and create alignment around priorities and decisions.
• Deep hands-on DevOps expertise – extensive experience building and operating production infrastructure, with the technical depth expected from a Senior/Lead/Staff-level DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineer;
• Strong Google Cloud Platform experience – deep production experience with GCP, including GKE, Compute Engine, networking, IAM, DNS, load balancing, and cloud cost optimization;
• Deep Kubernetes expertise – strong understanding of Kubernetes architecture, networking, ingress, storage, autoscaling, security, cluster lifecycle, and production troubleshooting;
• Infrastructure as Code expertise – strong production experience with Terraform/Terragrunt, Helm, and infrastructure automation;
• CI/CD and GitOps expertise – strong experience designing and operating modern delivery platforms using technologies such as Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps;
• Strong production operations background – experience operating high-availability production environments, participating in on-call rotations, troubleshooting distributed systems, and leading incident response;
• Observability expertise – strong understanding of metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, SLOs, and production monitoring using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/ELK, or similar platforms;
• Strong systems thinking – ability to reason about complex distributed systems, understand dependencies and failure modes, and make pragmatic architectural trade-offs across reliability, scalability, delivery speed, and cost.
• Будет плюсом: Experience leading both SRE and Platform Engineering teams; Experience operating high-load, real-time distributed platforms; Experience defining and operating SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets; Experience building internal developer platforms or developer self-service capabilities; Experience with Kafka and large-scale event-driven systems; Experience with PostgreSQL/AlloyDB and Redis; Experience driving cloud infrastructure cost optimization / FinOps initiatives; Experience in iGaming; Experience working in product companies or fast-growing scale-ups; Previous experience as a Staff/Principal DevOps Engineer, SRE, Platform Engineer, or Infrastructure Architect

• Full remote flexibility — work from wherever you do your best thinking;
• Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, and bank holidays;
• Genuine, unlimited growth opportunities in a fast-scaling business;
• Engaging company events and a team that actually enjoys working together.
• You’ll have significant ownership over the infrastructure and engineering platform behind systems serving millions of players worldwide.
• You’ll work on problems where reliability, scalability, automation, developer productivity, and infrastructure architecture have direct business impact.
• You’ll lead highly technical engineers while remaining close enough to the technology to influence architecture, solve difficult engineering problems, and see the direct impact of your decisions.
• We operate with minimal bureaucracy, fast decision-making, and a strong expectation of ownership.
