Your tasks
We’re looking for a DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer with a strong focus on database reliability and performance to help build the backbone of our platform. You’ll manage a mix of managed services and self-hosted infrastructure, ensuring that the systems powering KoRo’s e-commerce and operations are fast, observable, and resilient.
-
Take ownership of our database clusters (MySQL), focusing on performance tuning, query optimization, and scaling strategies to support high-traffic e-commerce events.
-
Ensure secure and scalable infrastructure using tools like Terraform, treating our database schema migrations and stateful sets with the same rigor as our application code.
-
Manage centralised logging, monitoring and alerting systems.
-
Improve CI/CD pipelines and support automated deployment strategies.
-
Collaborate with your team's engineers on topics such as environment parity, database performance and observability.
-
Identify bottlenecks and propose resilient and maintainable solutions to infrastructure challenges.
-
Manage user access, secrets and backups across environments.
-
Troubleshoot production issues, help shape, establish and participate in on-call rotations, and drive root cause resolutions.
Your profile

2–4 years experience in DevOps, infrastructure or platform engineering.
-
Hands-on experience managing relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL) at scale, including replication, indexing strategies, and backup verification.
-

-
Familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g. GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions).
-
Familiarity of setting up and managing centralised logging and monitoring tools (e.g. DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana and Loki).
-
Good knowledge of PHP, JavaScript and other web technologies.
-

-
Self-driven, pragmatic and good at communicating, with a strong sense of ownership.
-
Nice to have:
