We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.
We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.

Location:

Remote - Ireland
From Home / Beach / Mountain / Cafe / Anywhere!
We are a remote-first company with a globally distributed team. You can find your productive zone and work from there.

About the Role:

As a DevOps Engineer at Sardine, you'll play a critical role in evolving our infrastructure and platform tooling to support a growing engineering team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll drive key initiatives across deployment, observability, developer productivity, and cloud cost management.

You’ll work closely with application engineers, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders like Security and Finance to ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient. The role involves building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, improving system observability, optimizing cloud usage through FinOps governance, and strengthening our platform’s resilience. While we have core tools in place, we’re looking for someone who can both own and elevate them by identifying gaps, improving automation, and proactively driving improvements.

This is an ideal role for someone who brings deep technical expertise, thrives in high-ownership environments, and is excited to shape the future of DevOps.

What you'll be doing:

Own and evolve our DevOps and platform engineering function, from build and deployment pipelines to monitoring, infrastructure as code, and cost optimization.
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are secure, scalable, and built to support rapid product iterations without sacrificing stability.
Improve observability via Datadog, GCP, and custom dashboards, including FinOps focused observability outcomes.
Implement and maintain FinOps governance, including showback and chargeback models, to drive cost accountability across engineering teams.
Enable developer productivity by creating internal tooling, reusable modules, and simplifying infrastructure for other engineering teams.
Help teams define and measure SLOs setting the standard for how we think about system health and reliability.
Serve as a FinOps thought leader, collaborating with Product and Engineering to define the most cost-effective architectural patterns for new services and features.
Play a key role in shaping our engineering culture, DevOps best practices, and influencing our long-term DevOps roadmap.

What you'll need:

6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or software engineering roles, ideally in high-growth startup environments
Proficiency in Python or Go, with strong software engineering fundamentals
Proven ownership of production infrastructure and platform tooling, with strong debugging skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and diagnose unforeseen financial spikes
Demonstrated experience in designing and implementing highly secure and robust infrastructure, particularly in environments with stringent regulatory requirements such as those used by government agencies and major financial institutions
Deep experience with Kubernetes and tools like ArgoCD, Helm, and Terraform
Familiarity with GCP (preferred) or other major cloud providers, with a deep focus on cloud cost management, leveraging reserved instances/savings plans, and implementing cost anomaly detection
Hands-on experience with dedicated FinOps tooling (e.g., Kubecost, AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Cloud Billing, DoIT Cloud Intelligence) or building custom tooling for cost allocation and reporting.
Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines and internal developer tooling from the ground up
Hands-on experience with observability tools like Prometheus or Datadog, and participation in an on-call rotation

Benefits we offer:

Generous compensation in cash and equity
Early exercise for all options, including pre-vested
Work from anywhere: Remote-first Culture
Flexible paid time off and Year-end break
Health insurance, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents - US and Canada specific
4% matching in 401k / RRSP - US and Canada specific
MacBook Pro delivered to your door
One-time stipend to set up a home office — desk, chair, screen, etc.
Monthly meal stipend
Monthly social meet-up stipend
Annual health and wellness stipend
Annual Learning stipend
