Description
Hello, let’s meet!
Who We Are
While Xebia is a global tech company, our journey in CEE started with two Polish companies – PGS Software, known for world-class cloud and software solutions, and GetInData, a pioneer in Big Data. Today, we’re a team of 1,000+ experts delivering top-notch work across cloud, data, and software. And we’re just getting started.
What We Do
We work on projects that matter – and that make a difference. From fintech and e-commerce to aviation, logistics, media, and fashion, we help our clients build scalable platforms, data and AI solutions, and cutting-edge applications to shape the future of tech. Our clients include McLaren, Aviva, Deloitte, Spotify, Disney, ING, UPS, Tesco, Truecaller, AllSaints, Volotea, Schmitz Cargobull, Allegro, InPost, and many, many more.
We value smart tech, real ownership, and continuous growth. We use modern, open-source stacks, and we’re proud to be trusted partners of Databricks, dbt, Snowflake, Azure, GCP, and AWS. Fun fact: we were the first AWS Premier Partner in Poland!
Beyond Projects
What makes Xebia special? Our community. We support tech communities, organize meetups (Software Talks, Data Tech Talks), and have a culture that actively support your growth via Guilds, Labs, and personal development budgets — for both tech and soft skills. It’s not just a job. It’s a place to grow.
What sets us apart?
Our mindset. Our vibe. Our people. And while that’s hard to capture in text – come visit us and see for yourself.
About the project
We are looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer with strong experience in modern CI/CD practices and cloud-native delivery. You will lead the design, implementation, and operation of delivery pipelines, infrastructure templates, and platform capabilities supporting applications across AWS/Azure/GCP environments.
A core responsibility for this role is owning and operating the Harness platform (CI/CD, Feature Flags, Cost Management), and enabling engineering teams to deliver fast, safe, and reliable deployments.
You will be:
owning and operating the Harness Platform by:
designing, implementing, and maintaining Harness pipelines for Kubernetes, ECS, serverless, and VM deployments, including canary/blue‑green strategies and automated rollbacks,
operating CI pipelines and shared build infrastructure, improving build performance and developer feedback loops,
configuring and managing Feature Flags to support progressive delivery and experimentation,
integrating Harness SRM/Chaos (if applicable) to support deployment verification, resilience testing, and error budget policies,
partnering with FinOps to leverage cost dashboards, budgets, and guardrails for cloud spend optimization;
engineering Delivery Pipelines, Environments, and Infrastructure by:
creating reusable pipeline templates, governance controls, and “paved roads” for application teams,
implementing secrets management, artifact versioning, and environment promotion flows (dev → test → staging → prod),
standardizing infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, Helm/Kustomize, CloudFormation, and ARM/Bicep,
supporting Git-based workflows (GitHub, GitLab, Azure Repos, Bitbucket) and applying GitOps practices (Argo CD/Flux) where appropriate;
strengthening Reliability, Security, and Compliance by:
embedding automated tests, security scans (SAST, DAST, dependency/image scanning, SBOM), and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines,
enforcing RBAC, least privilege, SSO/SCIM, and audit readiness across platforms,
contributing incident response, post-incident reviews, and the continuous evolution of SLIs/SLOs,
building and integrating Observability and Performance Tooling by:
integrating observability systems (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, New Relic) into deployment verification and runtime dashboards,
optimizing reliability, building performance, caching, architecting storage, and runtime platform performance;
driving Collaboration and Enablement by:
onboarding product and engineering teams onto the Harness platform,
running enablement workshops, producing documentation, and maintaining self-service resources,
measuring and reporting delivery metrics such as lead time, deployment frequency, change fail rate, and MTTR — and driving improvement initiatives based on these insights.
Requirements
Your profile:
ready to work in EST time,
5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles,
2+ years hands-on with Harness CI and/or CD, including pipelines-as-code, templates, governance, and rollout strategies,
strong experience with Kubernetes (operations, Helm/Kustomize, operators),
good proficiency with at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP),
demonstrated expertise with Terraform, reusable modules, and multicloud provisioning (CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep),
hands-on experience with scripting (Bash, Python, or Go) and automation mindset,
experience with CI/CD and Git-based workflows, GitHub Actions or comparable CI tools,
familiarity with security integration (SAST/DAST, scanning, OPA/Conftest),
expertise with observability fundamentals (metrics, logs, traces),
ansible for configuration and orchestration,
upper intermediate/advanced English (B2/C1).
Work from the European Union region and a work permit is required.
Nice to have:
GitOps (Argo CD/Flux),
Harness Feature Flags, SRM, Chaos, or Cloud Cost Management,
Kafka experience (operational or integration),
Elasticsearch cluster operations,
Redis (caching, broker patterns, session management),
FinOps exposure,
familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA, PCI),
SRE experience with SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets,
PKI, vaulting, workload identity solutions.
