Senior DevOps Engineer

At IT Labs, we’re looking for a hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team supporting a cutting-edge deeptech client that’s revolutionizing engineering through AI. This company is building an AI-powered simulation software stack that enables faster, smarter innovation across industries like Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, and Semiconductors.

In this role, you’ll be a key bridge between our engineering teams and the client, owning the end-to-end deployment of infrastructure solutions. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand complex requirements and constraints, ensuring smooth adoption of scalable, secure, and observable systems that support advanced AI-driven workflows.

This is a deeply technical role that blends infrastructure expertise with strong communication and relationship-building skills. You’ll act as a trusted advisor, guiding clients through complex deployments while collaborating internally to ensure our solutions meet real-world challenges.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement deployment strategies for Kubernetes clusters across AWS, Azure, and on-premise environments.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact throughout the deployment lifecycle.

• Troubleshoot complex deployment issues, distinguishing between infrastructure and application-level concerns.

• Act as a system validator to ensure our solutions function seamlessly within client environments.

• Gather client feedback to inform internal development priorities.

• Continuously apply and improve deployment best practices and coach peers in their adoption.

If you're excited about working in a fast-paced, AI-focused environment where your contributions directly impact the future of engineering, we’d love to hear from you!

Requirements:

• Proven experience deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters (AWS, Azure, on-premise).

• Deep expertise with Azure and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Crossplane, Terraform, and Helm.

• Strong understanding of networking, security, and observability in containerized environments.

• Proven success in client-facing roles with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a customer-first mindset.

• Self-motivated, organized, and effective at managing multiple priorities.

• Bonus: Experience in customer success, solutions engineering, or regulated/high-security environments.

Working conditions:

• Hybrid working policy (8 days per month in the Skopje office),

• Indefinite Employment Contract (Contractor options available)

• Half day-off Options,

• Private health insurance,

• Sports Benefit (FitKit App),

• Wellness Benefit (2 extra days off for well-being)

• Reduced working hours for new moms & dads for the 1st week back at work,
