Remote flexibility
Undisclosed
The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.
Why this role is Undisclosed
We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.
- Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "remote", which names no country you must live in.
- Whether the work is remote: Never mentioned. The role reached us through a remote job board, but the advert itself doesn't say the work is remote.
- Working hours: Not stated. No timezone overlap or set hours are mentioned, so assume nothing either way.
Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.
What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "remote"
What Nomaders makes of it
- No residency or region requirement found in the job description
- Check with the employer before assuming you can work from abroad
The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.
About the role
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team!
You will own and evolve Mailtrap's production infrastructure — a multi-region AWS platform powering high-volume email sending and testing. You will keep it reliable, secure, and cost-efficient day to day.
You will also lead a key strategic initiative: planning and executing a partial migration of selected workloads from AWS to rented bare-metal / colocation infrastructure to cut costs — a hybrid-by-design effort, not a full cloud exit.
You will decide what moves and what stays, design the target platform (likely Kubernetes or a similar orchestrator on bare metal), and own the migration end to end, from business case to cutover.
Our engineering team thrives in an agile, continuously improving, and automation-oriented environment. We value ongoing evolution, objective evaluation of our processes, and taking action to make things better.
Must have skills
5+ years DevOps/platform (senior), production ownership
Deep AWS (VPC, ECS, IAM, RDS/ElastiCache or equivalents, networking)
Terraform at scale (modules, remote state / Terraform Cloud)
CI/CD with GitHub Actions, including automated deploys to production (e.g. blue/green deployments)
Containers (Docker); comfortable operating services on ECS or K8s
Strong Linux networking (DNS, TLS, load balancing, firewalls, VPN/hybrid)
Proven experience planning and executing migration to on-prem, colo, or private cloud (partial/hybrid OK — full exit not required)
Comfortable owning a multi-quarter infra initiative: TCO, design, vendors, cutover, rollback
Comfortable automating operational tasks with shell and/or Python
Fluent English (both spoken and written)
Strongly preferred
Colo/bare-metal ops: IPAM (NetBox), Ansible, image-based provisioning (Packer or equivalent), HAProxy/Nginx
Replacing managed AWS services with self-hosted (Postgres HA, Redis/Valkey, Kafka, OpenSearch)
Email infrastructure (MTA, SMTP, IP reputation, DKIM/SPF/DMARC) — Halon or similar
Cloudflare (DNS/WAF/Access)
Observability beyond CloudWatch (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki or equivalent)
Prior work with multi-region SaaS or EU data residency
Cost-driven architecture / FinOps mindset
