We run the infrastructure for everything we ship. Not a managed Vercel/Heroku shop — we run Coolify on bare-metal Hetzner, with Docker Compose, Caddy, Postgres, MariaDB, SQLite, Nextcloud, and a growing count of client workloads. This role owns that machinery.
Our codebases are polyglot (Python, TypeScript, Elixir, Rust, C++), so the infrastructure needs to be too — different pipelines, different health checks, different debug surfaces for each.
What you’d do
- Own CI/CD, deploy pipelines, backup strategy, and monitoring across every client workload
- Keep compose files, Caddyfiles, and runbooks readable — infrastructure as documentation
- Harden the stack: secrets rotation, access reviews, incident response, backups actually restored
- Partner with engineering on performance work — profiling in Rust, GC tuning in Elixir, query plans in Postgres
What we’d expect
- 5+ years running production Linux infrastructure
- Deep comfort with Docker, Postgres, and Caddy or Nginx
- Scripting fluency in Bash + at least one of Python / Go / Rust
- Observability instincts — tracing, metrics, structured logs
Nice to have
- Hands-on with Coolify, Dokku, or similar PaaS primitives
- Hardware-adjacent experience (bare-metal provisioning, networking, storage)
- UK GDPR / ISO 27001 context — we handle payment and personal data
How we work
- Remote, UK time zones; on-call shared across the engineering team, not shouldered by one person
- Direct access to the whole engineering stack — this is a seat at the table, not a ticket queue
