Troubleshoot production issues including latency, errors (e.g. 502s), pod crashes, OOMs, and networking problems
Implement and enforce security best practices, including secrets management, IAM, and network policies
Collaborate closely with software engineers on deployment strategies, system design, and operational readiness

What you'll need:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
Strong experience with Linux environments and shell scripting

Experience working with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Solid understanding of CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code
Good understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing)
Comfortable debugging and resolving production issues
Strong understanding of performance, scalability, and reliability principles
Experience with backend or web application environments

Why join BJAK:

Work on production systems that operate at real scale across multiple markets
High ownership role with meaningful impact on reliability, security, and developer velocity
Collaborate closely with experienced engineers in a fast-moving environment
Flat structure where execution and results matter more than titles
Opportunity to build, improve, and own critical infrastructure end-to-end
Competitive compensation and long-term growth opportunities
