Job Description

About Us



We are a profitable, founder?led telecommunications company, with teammates across three continents. Our eSIM and classic SIM solutions keep tens of thousands of international travelers and IoT devices online every day.

Having proven product?market fit, we are now scaling a

multi?tenant, white?label platform

(iOS, Android, and web) capable of powering

100+ partner brands worldwide

.

To achieve this, we're looking for a

DevOps Engineer

to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure that allows us to spin up

secure, isolated instances of the same NestJS codebase -- on demand, in minutes.



Your Mission



Design, provision, and maintain a

multi?tenant AWS infrastructure

using

Infrastructure as Code (Terraform?first)

principles. Build and operate a

monorepo deployment strategy

with

GitHub Actions

, enabling repeatable, zero?touch deployments across environments. Architect and refine

container?based deployment patterns

using

Docker with Amazon EKS/ECS (Fargate)

to launch new partner backends, databases, and CI/CD pipelines with a single command. Implement and monitor

CI/CD pipelines

using

GitHub Actions, Jenkins

, and AWS-native tooling where appropriate. Configure and operate

Nginx as a reverse proxy and load balancer

for internal and external services. Manage

IAM roles, VPCs, security groups, secrets, and encryption

AWS services

. Automate

backups, blue?green and canary deployments, disaster recovery runbooks

, and performance dashboards. Partner closely with backend and mobile teams to

optimize NestJS APIs

, improve observability, and ensure system reliability. Drive observability using

OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana

, or equivalent tooling. Contribute to architecture decisions (event?driven vs REST, serverless vs containers) as we scale toward

billions of daily API calls

. Mentor junior engineers and promote

DevSecOps best practices

and continuous improvement.
