DevOps Engineer — Confidential Client (Travel / Aviation Sector)

Sector: Travel / Aviation / Airline
Position: DevOps Engineer

About the project

This is an active, ongoing project (not greenfield). The candidate will join an existing environment and contribute to infrastructure, CI/CD, automation, internal tooling, deployment, maintenance, scaling, and continuous improvement.

Seniority

Approximately 7-8 years of relevant experience in:

DevOps
Cloud Engineering
Platform Engineering
Infrastructure Engineering

A hands-on, autonomous profile with strong ownership capabilities is required.

Core technical stack

AWS
Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
Docker
Amazon ECS
GitHub Actions / CI-CD
AWS Networking (VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups, Routing)
Python / scripting
Git
Monitoring / troubleshooting
Automation / internal tooling

The official Job Description also mentions: compute, storage, serverless services, cybersecurity/compliance, SQL, monitoring, and incident management.

Most important technical requirement

Experience building CI/CD pipelines from scratch — design, implementation, and ownership, not just maintaining or using existing pipelines.

Container orchestration

The current environment is based on ECS (not Kubernetes). Kubernetes/EKS is a nice-to-have and should not disqualify an otherwise strong candidate.

Internal tooling

Additional value for candidates who have built tools or automation that improve development, infrastructure, deployment, CI/CD, or monitoring workflows.

Sector

Travel/Aviation/Airlines/Airports experience is a positive differentiator, not mandatory. It only serves as a tiebreaker between candidates with similar technical fit.

Soft skills

Ownership, autonomy, problem-solving, clear communication with both technical and non-technical teams, proactivity, analytical thinking, adaptability, results orientation.

Location and travel

Approximately one trip per month to the client's offices. Location, airport access, and willingness to travel are considered.

Compensation

Target: up to €80,000
Maximum: approximately €85,000
