Job Description

CareerFinders, on behalf of our client, one of Cyprus’ most well-established and respected providers of IT Services & Solutions to a wide range of clients, we are seeking to recruit a Senior DevOps Engineer to join their growing team based in Nicosia. The successful candidate will be working on design, implement, and maintain the on-premises infrastructure platform — compute, storage, networking, and the services layer. You will work closely with developers and engineers to build and maintain the platform stack they depend on Linux systems, containerised workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and the automation that ties it all together. Our client is seeking applications from candidates who are ideally educated to degree level in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or similar who possess approximately 4+ years owning production systems in a platform or infrastructure engineering role. Strong Linux administration skills are essential, including OS builds, system hardening, automated provisioning, and performance tuning, along with a solid understanding of the services layer, including database clusters, web services, proxies, IAM, monitoring, and logging. An attractive remuneration and benefits package is on offer, which includes a competitive salary based on experience, a 13th salary, annual bonus based on company and individual performance, Friday afternoon’s off during summer, Provident Fund, and more!

 

Key Duties/Responsibilities: 

• Design, implement, and maintain the on-premises infrastructure platform — compute, storage, networking, and the services layer.
• Own Infrastructure as Code end-to-end.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) and internal tooling.
• Architect and operate containerised workloads using Docker and Podman.
• Design zero-downtime deployment strategies and DR runbooks with defined RPO/RTO targets.
• Troubleshoot at depth — Linux kernel, network stack, container runtime, resource contention.

 

Key Skills/Experience: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field or equivalent work experience.
• Approximately 4+ years owning production systems in a platform or infrastructure engineering role — not just contributing to them.
• Strong Linux administration: OS builds, system hardening, automated provisioning, performance tuning.
• Solid understanding of the services layer: database clusters, web services, proxies, IAM, monitoring, logging.
• Hands-on Terraform and Ansible experience in live environments.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Container experience with Docker and/or Podman in production.
• Scripting and programming skills — Python and Bash for automation and tooling.
• The ability to work closely with software developers — translating infrastructure capabilities into something useful for them.

 

Nice to Have: 

• Kubernetes for container orchestration.
• Experience with on-premises virtualisation platforms (VMware vSphere/ESXi, Proxmox, or similar).
• Exposure to security hardening practices — CIS Benchmarks, CVE patching, secrets management.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack.
• Understanding of network fundamentals in on-premises contexts: VLANs, firewalls, DNS, and load balancers.

 

Key Benefits: 

• Competitive remuneration package with a 13th salary.
• Annual bonus based on company and individual performance.
• Provident Fund.
• Group Medical coverage rates.
• Continuous learning and development opportunities.
• Increasing annual leave allowance (up to 25 days a year).
• Wellbeing days off / Complimentary days off.
• Friday afternoon off during summer.
• Paid sick leave allowance.
• Company events.
• Wedding & New baby gifts.
