Head of Infrastructure (Hybrid & Cloud)
BrainRocket is a global company creating end-to-end tech products for clients across Fintech, iGaming, and Marketing. Young, ambitious, and unstoppable, we've already taken Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Poland, and Serbia by storm. Our BRO team consists of 1,300 bright minds creating innovative ideas and products. We don’t follow formats. We shape them. We build what works, launch it fast, and make sure it hits.
We are looking for a Head of Infrastructure to own the strategy and execution of our hybrid infrastructure. This role is perfect for a leader who understands the "full stack" of infrastructure—from physical data centers to managed cloud services—and can bridge the gap between technical complexity and business goals.
You will lead a team of specialists, ensuring our Linux-based ecosystem and Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and cloud) are reliable, scalable, and fully automated.
Key Responsibilities- Infrastructure Strategy: Develop the vision for a hybrid environment that balances the performance of on-prem bare metal with the agility of the public cloud.
- Architectural Oversight: Guide the design of robust, scalable solutions. You aren't the one clicking the buttons, but you are the one ensuring the architecture is sound.
- Team Leadership: Build and manage a high-performing team of DevOps and SRE engineers. Foster a culture of accountability and continuous learning.
- Automation Evangelism: Drive the transition toward "No-Ops" by prioritizing automation across all layers of the infrastructure stack.
- Vendor & Capacity Management: Manage the lifecycle of hardware and data center relationships. Balance OpEx (Cloud) and CapEx (On-Prem) effectively.
- Security & Compliance: Ensure that the infrastructure meets modern security standards, from network isolation to access management.
✅ We offer excellent benefits, including but not limited to: 🧑🏻💻 Learning and development opportunities and interesting challenging tasks; ✈️ Relocation package (tickets, staying in a hotel for 2 weeks); 📚 Opportunity to develop language skills and partial compensation for the cost of language classes; 🎁 Birthday celebration present; 🏝 Time for proper rest and 23 working days of Annual Vacation;
Join BrainRocket and rock with us! 🚀
- Linux Foundations: A solid understanding of Linux internals, file systems, and server management principles.
- Networking Principles: Strong grasp of L2/L3 networking, routing, BGP, and load balancing, especially in the context of connecting data centers to the cloud.
- Kubernetes Ecosystem: Good understanding of K8s architecture, including how it runs on bare metal versus managed services (EKS/GKE). You should understand orchestration, persistent storage, and service discovery.
- Cloud Platforms: Experience managing environments in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Modern Tooling: Familiarity with the CNCF landscape, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible).
- Management Excellence: Proven track record of leading technical teams and managing stakeholders.
- High Responsibility: A "the buck stops here" attitude regarding system reliability and team performance.
- Strategic Thinking: The ability to decide when to build on-prem (for cost/performance) and when to use cloud (for speed/flexibility).
- Process Driven: A focus on documentation, post-mortems, and standardized workflows.
