Junior DevOps Engineer

About the role

The Junior DevOps Engineer supports a hybrid infrastructure spanning on‑premises environments and leading cloud platforms. This role blends hands‑on systems administration with automation and infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) to improve reliability, scalability, and delivery speed.

You will also help build new on‑prem infrastructure using an IaC‑first approach. The ideal candidate has foundational Linux and networking skills, can script to reduce manual work, and collaborates effectively in agile teams. Familiarity with data centers or cryptocurrency mining operations is a plus. Occasional travel and light physical activity may be required.
