Team Lead DevOps / SRE

GoMining is looking for an experienced Team Lead DevOps / SRE - a hands-on technical leader who combines deep infrastructure expertise with team leadership. This role is for a playing coach: someone who designs and builds systems personally, while also guiding engineers, setting technical direction, and strengthening DevOps/SRE practices across the company.

• Define and promote SRE best practices: SLI, SLO, error budgets, incident management.

Hands-on Engineering (Playing Coach)

• Design, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, and on-prem / cloud infrastructure.
• Participate directly in solving complex production issues and incident response.
• Optimize system performance (CPU, memory, disk, network) and ensure high availability.
• Support and improve business-critical applications together with product and development teams.

Automation & CI/CD

• Lead automation of development, deployment, and operational processes.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI).
• Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management practices.
• Improve SDLC efficiency through DevOps principles and tooling.

Team Leadership & Hiring

• Act as a technical leader and mentor for DevOps/SRE engineers.
• Participate in hiring: resume screening, technical interviews, and candidate evaluation.
• Help onboard new team members and grow internal expertise.
• Balance hands-on work with coordination, prioritization, and technical guidance.

Requirements:
Core Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments.
• Solid Linux administration (Debian-based systems), networking, and system internals.
• Experience with cloud providers: AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner (multi-cloud or hybrid is a plus).
• CI/CD experience with GitLab, Jenkins, or CircleCI.
• Automation and configuration management: Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.
• Datastores & messaging: PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis (scaling, backups, reliability).
• Monitoring & observability experience (metrics, logs, traces).

Programming & Scripting

• Confident scripting in Bash and Python.
• Experience or readiness to work with Go / TypeScript for internal tooling.
• Strong Git knowledge and collaboration workflows.

Nice to Have
