DevOps AWS / EKS engineer for production systems

We are Centaurea — a team of imperfect people with a passion to build good, useful software. We are looking for a capable Senior DevOps Engineer who values real skills and clean architecture over «hype-driven infrastructure,» who is sharp and still curious, willing to do the hard work, and ready to drive success through honest, smart work. If you want to master your craft and build reliable, secure, observable infrastructure alongside teammates who actually care about the quality of what they deliver — in a culture that values craft, accepts imperfection, and prioritizes solving real problems — you belong here.

• 5+ years in production, EKS preferred.
• strong hands-on depth, ideally certified (DevOps Engineer – Professional, Solutions Architect – Professional or Security – Specialty).
• LGTM — Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir.
• scripting for automation and tooling.
• LLM agents and MCP servers wired into real workflows, with access scoped so agents never hold the keys to production.
• You are realistic and curious. Solid fundamentals and background, but you clearly see your gaps and are curious enough to understand the problem better, learn a different solution, and become a tiny better version of yourself tomorrow.
• You value feedback. Code review isn't a battleground — it's free education. You are open to critique because you want your work to be better, not because you want to be right.
• You are a "Finisher." You don't just build the happy path. You handle the failure modes, the rollbacks, the alerts that actually mean something, the runbooks and the boring parts of the setup — because you respect the users and the stability of the system.
• Security is part of your job, not someone else's. Least privilege by default, secrets that never touch git or logs, every change checked for who it lets in. A client trusts us with their production; you don't spend that trust.
• You verify like there's no safety net — because there isn't. Plan, dry run, staging and a post-rollout look at the dashboards are part of "done," not a follow-up ticket. "Applied cleanly" is not a verification strategy.
• Будет плюсом: CKA/CKS, or a background in Math/Physics or competitive programming — we love abstract thinkers!

• 100% official employment and white salary. We honor our commitments so you can focus on the work.
• Comfortable offices steps away from the subway in Minsk or Tbilisi. We value output over strict hours, but we need you present.
• Complex problems are best solved face-to-face, at a whiteboard, not in a Slack thread. We value the energy of a real team.
• Competitive wage + Performance Bonuses. For those who stay and build with us, we offer a token-based equity program. We want you to own a piece of the value you create.
• $3,000 – $4000 USD (Net. Based on skills & maturity. Stable salary + Bonus + Equity). As you help to unlock value and drive revenue, your compensation grows. We want a partner who shares in the victory.
• Beyond tokens, there's a partner track — it's not granted, but rather earned over years of honest and smart work for the company; one person in our history has walked it.
