Senior DevOps AWS / EKS Engineer

About the role

Centaurea is hiring a Senior DevOps AWS / EKS Engineer in Tbilisi to build secure, reliable and observable infrastructure for a client's production AWS environment. The format is on-site / in-office, and the work is judged by results and ownership, with no separate SRE team or change-approval board.

Required profile

• 5+ years of Kubernetes experience in production, EKS preferred.
• Strong AWS hands-on depth, ideally certified (e.g. DevOps Engineer Professional, Solutions Architect Professional or Security Specialty).
• Security mindset: least-privilege IAM, secrets management, network policies, image and supply-chain controls, audit logging.
• Observability with LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir).
• Python for automation and tooling.
• Experience with LLM agents and MCP servers wired into real workflows, with access scoped so agents never hold production keys.
• Openness to feedback, a "finisher" attitude, and the ability to own changes in production.

Required skills

• Kubernetes (EKS)
• AWS
• Python
• LGTM observability stack
• IAM, secrets management, network policies, image scanning

Bonus points for CKA/CKS, a background in math/physics or competitive programming. Candidates are asked to describe, briefly, the most complex infrastructure or security problem they introduced and how they fixed it.

What we offer

• Salary of $3,000 - $4,500 USD net, plus bonus and a token-based equity program.
• 100% official employment with a white salary.
• Comfortable offices near the subway in Tbilisi, with flexible hours and in-person collaboration.
