DevOps Engineer

EIDA Solutions develops powerful construction management software that supports large, complex construction projects in the technology and life sciences sector. We work alongside our industry-leading clients to ensure that our platform streamlines projects and reduces delays.

Our Infrastructure and Security team runs an established cloud platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), built on Google's enterprise foundation and application blueprints. Our product teams ship to that platform daily through automated, policy-governed delivery pipelines. We are expanding the team to support our growing customer base in the United States.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated DevOps Engineer to help operate and extend our Google Cloud Platform, and to support our growing footprint in the United States.

This is a remote role based in Brazil. You will work as part of our Security & Cloud team alongside colleagues in Ireland, with your working day providing valuable overlap across both European and United States business hours.

The role suits an engineer at mid-senior level. You will join a small, high-trust team where infrastructure is treated as a product: version-controlled, reviewed, tested, and documented.

Location and Working Arrangement

• Remote, based in Brazil.

• English is our working language, in writing and in conversation.

• We ask for a daily overlap with our Ireland-based engineering team, and availability that extends into United States business hours to support our customers there.

• Occasional travel may be required for team planning sessions and onboarding.

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure as code across our cloud landing zone and application infrastructure, following established module and review practices.

• Operate and improve our Kubernetes estate, including private clusters, traffic management, autoscaling, workload identity, and cluster lifecycle.

• Extend and maintain our CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, and Cloud Deploy, including keyless authentication and approval-gated releases.

• Maintain and improve our golden path, so that product teams can onboard new applications and services with minimal friction.

• Own observability as code: dashboards, alert policies, log-based metrics, and service-level monitoring.

• Apply policy as code and least-privilege access controls consistently across the estate.

• Extend our platform patterns into additional cloud regions as our product footprint grows, covering region-aware infrastructure code, data residency, and traffic routing.

• Act as the infrastructure point of contact for our United States operations during their business day, participating in production support and incident follow-up.

• Implement and uphold security best practices to safeguard our infrastructure and our customers' data.

• Collaborate with engineering teams on proof-of-concepts for new infrastructure capabilities that improve our SaaS product.

• Document infrastructure configurations, deployment processes, and runbooks so that knowledge is shared and practices stay consistent across teams.

• Mentor and support colleagues, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Essential

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent experience, in an IT-related field.

• At least 3 years of proven experience in a DevOps, platform, or SRE role, with a track record of building and running reliable cloud infrastructure. 

• Hands-on production experience with Terraform, including writing and maintaining reusable modules and managing remote state.

• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) preferred.

• Experience running Kubernetes in production environments.

• Solid grounding in containerisation with Docker, including image build practices.

• Practical CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions or an equivalent platform, including pipeline design and troubleshooting.

• Working knowledge of Linux systems administration and scripting in Bash, Python, or similar.

• Confident use of Git, branching models and code review as a normal part of daily work.

• Experience with monitoring and logging tools for proactive system management.

• Professional working English, written and spoken.

• Based in Brazil, with the ability to overlap daily with an Ireland-based team.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and explain technical concepts clearly.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues.

• Comfortable taking ownership of critical infrastructure and making informed decisions without compromising security or stability.

Desirable

• Google Kubernetes Engine specifically, including private clusters and workload identity.

• Kustomize and Skaffold for manifest management and deployment.

• Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy for build and release orchestration.

• Policy as code, and automated compliance checks in delivery pipelines.

• Google Cloud Foundation Toolkit, or comparable landing zone blueprints from another provider.

• JVM build tooling such as Gradle or Maven, in a CI context.

• Multi-region or geographic expansion experience.

• Experience working in a distributed team across multiple time zones.

• Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer or Professional Cloud Architect certification.

• Exposure to security or compliance programmes.

• Formal English qualifications of CEFR B2 or equivalent

• Ownership of a modern cloud platform, in a team small enough that your work is visible and your decisions matter.

• A mature, blueprint-aligned engineering environment: infrastructure as code, reviewed changes, automated delivery, and documented practice.

• The first infrastructure hire in the region, with scope to shape how we support and grow our United States presence.

• Continuous learning, including support for certification and time to evaluate new technology properly.
