DevOps Engineer- Platform

About IP Fabric 

Join a pioneering force in network automation!

At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.  

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer – Platform to join our Platform team and help evolve the foundations of the IP Fabric product. Our Platform team is focused on making the product more stable, elegant to develop, performant, and secure. The work sits at the intersection of software engineering, Linux, CI/CD, containers, quality, and developer experience. Over the coming months, some of our biggest challenges include decomposing parts of our monolithic application into cleaner modules or services, modernizing deployment from a Debian package-based model toward containers, improving build and testing pipelines, and creating a much better local-development experience. This is not a traditional infrastructure-operations DevOps position. You will work directly on the product platform and the engineering systems surrounding it. We are hiring at either L2 or L3. Both levels are hands-on. The difference is primarily the scope you can own independently.

What You'll Do

Build and improve product-platform components and tooling using Python and TypeScript

Help evolve the application from a monolithic structure toward cleaner modules and/or services

Contribute to the design and implementation of our next-generation deployment model

Help move the product from Debian package-oriented deployment toward an appropriate container-based approach

Build, improve, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines

Improve build and testing infrastructure

Make local product development easier and more reliable

Work with Kubernetes and containerized workloads

Troubleshoot issues across application, runtime, container, Linux, and CI/CD boundaries

Improve platform stability, performance, maintainability, and developer experience

Participate in technical discussions and code reviews

Collaborate closely with engineers across the product organization

Apply good engineering practices around testing, observability, maintainability, and software quality

Contribute to software hardening and secure engineering practices where appropriate

L2 / L3 Expectations

L2

At L2, you should be able to independently deliver a defined technical task end to end. Once the task and expected outcome are clear, you can determine the implementation, investigate unknowns, write and test the solution, troubleshoot issues, and drive the change through completion without close technical supervision.

L3

At L3, you should additionally be comfortable working from a broader technical goal. Once familiar with the platform, you can identify what needs to change, break broader goals into concrete work, propose solutions, explain tradeoffs, and lead implementation. You are also expected to contribute meaningfully to technical decisions led by other engineers.

What You'll Need

Strong GNU/Linux fundamentals

Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

Hands-on experience with containers

Practical Kubernetes knowledge, or very strong relevant fundamentals and the ability to become productive quickly

Experience building, maintaining, or improving CI/CD pipelines

Software-development experience in Python and/or TypeScript

Ability to independently own technical implementation

Understanding of modern software-engineering practices, including testing and version control

Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote engineering team

EU citizenship or other eligibility to work in the EU

Bonus Points

Experience with both Python and TypeScript

Understanding of the Node.js runtime and ecosystem

Experience modernizing application deployment

Experience migrating workloads toward containers

Experience decomposing monolithic applications

Experience with developer tooling or Developer Experience / DevEx

Experience improving local-development environments

Experience with build systems and testing infrastructure

Software-hardening or application/platform security experience

Experience improving performance or reliability of product platforms
