About the role

Fundraise Up is a global fundraising platform powering tens of millions of dollars in donations each month, trusted by organizations such as UNICEF and the Alzheimer's Association. It is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to join the DevOps team that owns the platforms used daily by every engineering team: CI/CD, observability, logging and developer tooling. This is a senior-only role: you will be given an entire area (observability or CI/CD) and run it from requirements and design through rollout, operations and mentoring others.

Key responsibilities

• Own one core platform area end-to-end: observability (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Graylog / VictoriaLogs, fluent bit, exporters, alerting) or CI/CD (Jenkins scripted pipelines, Harbor, Nexus, build agents).
• Drive technical initiatives from requirements and design docs through implementation, production delivery and operational health.
• Design for reliability and scale, and automate repetitive operations, provisioning and maintenance.
• Support developers by deploying and monitoring apps on on-premise servers and Kubernetes (Helm), troubleshooting builds and deploys, and helping with metrics, alerts and logs; take part in developer support chat duty.
• Investigate production incidents as the senior escalation point, lead post-mortems and implement systemic fixes.
• Participate in on-call rotations and mentor less experienced engineers through design discussions, reviews and pairing.

Required profile

• 6+ years as a DevOps Engineer / SRE (or very close responsibilities), with a track record of owning technical initiatives end-to-end.
• Fluent Russian, as you will work in a Russian-speaking team.
• Must have hands-on experience in at least two of: VictoriaMetrics / Prometheus at scale, log pipelines at scale, Jenkins scripted pipelines, container registries and artifact management, Kubernetes with Helm, or Grafana.
• Nice to have: analytics platforms (Airflow, JupyterHub, etc.), GitOps (Flux), Terraform, Sentry on-premise, ClickHouse, MongoDB, bare-metal Kubernetes.

Required skills

• Confident Linux (Ubuntu) and Git.
• Prometheus stack: metric types, exporters and alerting.
• Docker, image building and registries; Ansible; Bash or Python scripting.
• Production and on-call incident handling, and mentoring experience.
