What you’ll work with

• AWS Cloud Infrastructure – designing, deploying, and maintaining complex, multi-account environments (EKS, Lambda, RDS, Route53, ALB, S3, IAM, and beyond).
• Infrastructure as Code – Terraform (and Helm) as your daily tools of choice for managing and versioning infrastructure.
• GitOps – managing application delivery pipelines using ArgoCD and following modern GitOps principles.
• Containerization & Orchestration – deploying and maintaining workloads with Helm charts, K8s manifests, and automation pipelines.
• Serverless – developing and maintaining Lambda functions in Python and Node.js, integrating with event-driven architectures.
• Databases – administering and tuning MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB clusters for performance and reliability.
• Monitoring & Observability – building dashboards and alerts with Grafana and Prometheus, improving system visibility.
• Security & Compliance – practical experience with IDS/IPS systems, security groups, and proactive monitoring of infrastructure integrity.
• Application Support – troubleshooting and optimizing deployment flows for PHP and Node.js applications in production environments.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps or Cloud Engineering experience.
• Deep knowledge of AWS services, networking, IAM, and cost optimization.
• Strong Terraform, Helm, and K8s experience (multi-environment setups, modular design, and CI/CD integration).
• Proven ability to automate, script, and debug infrastructure (Python, Bash, or Node.js).
• Solid understanding of GitOps, CI/CD best practices, and deployment workflows (ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, etc.).
• Experience working in high-availability environments and handling production incidents gracefully.
• Bonus: experience integrating security tools or running vulnerability scans (Wazuh, Prowler, Suricata, Falco, etc.).

Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll have the freedom to shape how infrastructure is built and maintained, own the full lifecycle from idea to production, and work with a team that values curiosity, automation, and constant improvement.

Of course, working for Lab08 comes with some additional perks like:

• Competitive pay and flexible working hours
• Hybrid work setup (office in the heart of Sofia)
• Additional health insurance, Multisport, and team events
• Parking spot/Transport Public card
• Opportunities for professional growth and learning
