Description
Our mission at xFarm Technologies is to drive the digital transformation in Agriculture by improving the lives of millions of farmers, acting for the increase of environmental, economic and social sustainability of the sector.
We do this by developing digital tools and consulting projects, providing a Smart Farming digital ecosystem for all the actors of the agri-food supply chain, consisting of apps, sensors, software integrations and advanced analytics tools.
Today, xFarm products are already used by more than 420 thousand farms on more than five million hectares, in Europe and South America.
Now it's time to accelerate and we need you!
We are looking for a hands-on DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer to join our CloudOps team and own the operational infrastructure that keeps our backend platform running across Europe and Latin America.
You will work closely with our Cloud Architect, and with the Tech organization's engineering teams, as the first dedicated SRE / Kubernetes hire in a newly established, high-impact function.
Your Mission
Kubernetes Operations: Deploy, scale, secure and troubleshoot containerized backend services on Kubernetes, managing workloads, resource limits, networking and rollouts;
CI/CD Pipelines: Own and improve GitLab CI/CD pipelines end to end, setting up new projects and pipeline scaffolding for new services while keeping build/test/deploy fast and reliable;
Observability: Govern the Elastic Cloud stack (logs and metrics) and operate the Prometheus/Grafana stack, building and maintaining dashboards, alerts and log/metrics pipelines, acting as the reference point for teams debugging production issues;
Reliability & Incident Response: Define and track SLIs/SLOs, respond to incidents, drive root-cause analysis and reduce toil through automation;
Infrastructure as Code: Manage infrastructure declaratively (Terraform / Helm / GitOps or equivalent) to keep environments reproducible and auditable;
Developer Enablement: Support engineering teams with tooling, environments and fast feedback loops, documenting runbooks and self-service paths;
Security & Hygiene: Apply secrets management, access control and dependency/image hygiene across the pipeline and cluster.
Opportunities
Be the first dedicated SRE / Kubernetes hire in a newly established CloudOps function;
Work directly alongside the Cloud Architect and the Tech organization's engineering teams across EU and LATAM;
Play a high-leverage, high-visibility role: your work at the infrastructure layer helps the entire engineering organization ship faster and more safely;
Help shape how CloudOps operates and grows from a formative moment onward.
Qualifications
Proven hands-on experience as a DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineer in production;
Solid experience with Kubernetes in production — deployment, operations and troubleshooting, not just kubectl apply;
Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitLab CI/CD, including bootstrapping new repositories and pipelines from scratch;
Observability experience with both the Elastic stack (Elasticsearch / Kibana / Elastic Cloud) and the Prometheus/Grafana stack (metrics collection, PromQL, dashboards, alerting);
Infrastructure as Code experience (any tool) and solid cloud fundamentals (containers, networking, secrets, IAM basics);
Strong scripting ability (Bash / Python or similar);
Full European-hours availability (09:00–18:00 CEST) to support engineering teams in real time;
Solid English for working across EU and LATAM chapters; Java/JVM knowledge, AWS and/or GCP experience are a plus.
Complete the Profile
Collaboration and clear communication with non-infra colleagues
Analytical, root-cause-driven problem-solving
Composure under pressure during incidents
Self-motivation and ownership
Reliability and accountability
Continuous learning
Compensation
RAL: €45.000 - € 50.000 (commensurate with experience)
