At ExWo we’re building a global digital platform focused on fairness, simplicity, and radical transparency. We’re not here to reinvent the wheel – we’re here to make it turn better.

Our mission is simple: put users first, cut the nonsense, and build a product that earns trust every step of the way.

We’re looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our infrastructure and help shape the way we build, deploy, and operate our technology. This is a hands-on senior role combining technical leadership, infrastructure architecture, automation, and operational excellence.

What You’ll Do:

• Own and continuously improve our infrastructure, focusing on scalability, reliability, performance, and security.

• Design and implement new cloud infrastructure and architectural solutions.

• Lead the development and improvement of CI/CD pipelines in close collaboration with Engineering.

• Manage and optimize PostgreSQL, caching, and messaging infrastructure.

• Work with AWS services including VPC, ECS, EC2, RDS, MSK, CloudWatch, CloudFront, WAF, IAM, Lambda, and Route53.

• Build and maintain Docker-based environments and automate infrastructure and operational processes.

• Troubleshoot complex production and infrastructure issues and drive their resolution.

• Establish DevOps best practices and provide technical guidance.

• Stay current with DevOps, cloud infrastructure, automation, and distributed systems technologies.

What We’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, SRE, or System Administration.

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and cloud infrastructure.

• Solid understanding of infrastructure architecture, networking, security, and cloud best practices.

• Strong experience with CI/CD, Docker, and GitHub.

• Experience with PostgreSQL and caching technologies, preferably Redis.

• Experience with messaging systems, preferably Kafka / Amazon MSK.

• Ability to take end-to-end ownership of infrastructure and make sound technical decisions.

• Experience mentoring or acting as a technical lead is a strong plus.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

Nice to Have:

• Previous experience in iGaming, fintech, online entertainment, or another high-volume digital product environment.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform.

• Experience with Kubernetes or other container orchestration technologies.

• Experience working in a high-growth, fast-paced technology environment.

• Experience with observability, monitoring, and incident management.

• Experience designing systems for high availability, resilience, and disaster recovery.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and discretionary performance bonus.

• Premium private health insurance, including dental care.

• €50 monthly flexible benefits allowance.

• Up to 25 days of paid annual leave.

• Hybrid working, including 1 work-from-home day per week.

• Opportunity to grow and have a real impact in a fast-moving international company.

• A collaborative environment where ownership, ideas and new ways of doing things are encouraged.

If you’re looking for a place where you can make an impact, take ownership and grow alongside the business, we’d love to hear from you.
