DevOps Engineer

About The Role You will own the security posture of a high-traffic, multi-country consumer platform from the internet edge inward. This is a hands-on engineering role, not an advisory one: detections, guardrails, and access controls all ship as code through the same review-and-deploy path as everything else. Alongside that, you'll pick up day-to-day DevOps work: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and production deployments.

The scale you'd be working at Dozens of EKS clusters and roughly 2,600+ nodes. Infrastructure partitioned per country across multiple African markets, each with its own regulatory surface. An in-house SIEM and bunch of security related detections.

If You Are a self-driven DevOps Engineer with proven experience in large-scale micro-service systems hosted on AWS.
