CloudTalk works seamlessly for businesses of all sizes, from scale-ups like Deel to big players like Nokia, Glovo, and Rakuten. Modern businesses all around the world can lead meaningful conversations while managing calls and messages from one place.
CloudTalk is on a mission to create a unified ecosystem for sales and customer service teams’ communication where every professional can engage in more productive and meaningful conversations.
The Challenge Ahead:
With the newly built, fully Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) platform in place, the Infrastructure Team is now focused on operating, improving, and scaling it. The challenge ahead lies in hardening reliability, enhancing observability, and refining automation to remove remaining manual gaps. While best practices are already embedded, there’s still room to drive maturity. We’re looking for an engineer who would thrive in continuous improvement, can spot weaknesses, and enjoy building infrastructure that’s both robust and elegant.
In addition, we are increasingly investing in the scalability and performance of our data layer. As our platform grows, we need stronger expertise in database operations — from scaling core database systems, improving reliability under load, and optimizing query performance. Supporting teams in diagnosing slow queries and designing resilient database architectures is becoming a key part of our infrastructure roadmap.
What you will do:
- Design, build, harden, and maintain the core infrastructure used by all of CloudTalk’s engineering teams running in AWS
- Help developers with finding and optimising critical database queries and tweak database servers
- Automate every aspect of our infrastructure to remove any human intervention as much as possible
- Design and deploy new services into Kubernetes cluster (AWS EKS)
- Participate in team brainstorming sessions to define future of CloudTalk’s infrastructure
- Implement security policies across cloud-based infrastructure
- Optimize existing services to achieve better performance
- Develop effective tooling, alerts, and response to both identify and address reliability risks
- Drive and promote protocols on production readiness and operational excellence
- Partner with product engineering teams to debug production outages and carry out action items to improve the reliability of those systems
- Participate in design reviews and production reviews for new features, products, or pieces of infrastructure
- Plan for the growth of CloudTalk’s infrastructure
What we are looking for:
Knowledge of AWS
Knowledge of Kubernetes
Experience with optimising database systems (MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, …)
Knowledge of Bash scripting
Managing 24⁄7 production infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters (AWS/GCP…)
Understanding of modern development and operations processes and methodologies
Experience with Linux administration
Experience with CI/CD management (Argo project)
Experience with configuration management (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Docker, …)
Knowledge of GitOps principles is nice to have (e.g. ArgoCD)
Experience with monitoring stack (preferably Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager), configuration of monitoring rules, creating dashboards, etc.

- Good at problem-solving and debugging
- Can-do approach
