Role: Senior DevOps Engineer / Platform Reliability Lead
OleOle is looking for a senior DevOps leader to own the reliability, scalability, and operational integrity of a global, real-time football platform.
This s a hands-on leadership role. The core architecture, technologies, and product direction are already defined. The focus now is execution—building infrastructure that scales cleanly, fails gracefully, and supports millions of users during the world’s biggest sporting moments.
You will be responsible for ensuring that a complex, multi-system platform operates as one reliable, observable, and secure system.
What you will own
End-to-end ownership of cloud infrastructure and platform reliability
Design and operation of high-availability, fault-tolerant systems
Kubernetes-based environments supporting real-time social, messaging, AI, and financial services
CI/CD pipelines that are safe, repeatable, and trusted by engineers
Monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response across the entire platform
Security, access control, secrets management, and operational best practices
Production readiness for traffic spikes tied to live matches and global tournaments
This role exists to prevent problems before users ever see them and to restore systems quickly and calmly when issues occur.
What you’ll work on
Operating and scaling real-time systems for live scores, messaging, and in-match activity
Supporting AI translation workloads without impacting core platform performance
Ensuring wallet, rewards, and financial infrastructure remain secure, auditable, and always available
Managing production-grade MediaWiki infrastructure used for large-scale football history content
Designing failover strategies so no single system can take down the platform
Creating clear separation between development, staging, and production environments
What we’re looking for
Required
7+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles
Deep experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures
Strong Kubernetes and container orchestration experience
Proven track record running high-traffic, real-time production systems
Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform preferred)
Strong understanding of Linux, networking, and system debugging
Experience designing systems for reliability, not just deployment
Strong plus
Experience supporting crypto platforms, wallets, or exchanges
Experience with Rust or high-performance backend systems
Experience with live data feeds, sports, trading, or messaging platforms
Prior ownership of incident response and on-call operations
How you work
You think in systems, not tickets
You anticipate failure modes instead of reacting to them
You communicate clearly and directly when something is unsafe or broken
You are comfortable making decisions and taking ownership
You focus on stability, clarity, and long-term maintainability
This is not a role for someone who wants to debate architecture endlessly. The decisions are made. This role is about making them work in the real world.
Qualifications: Qualifications
Required Experience
7–10+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering
Prior experience at a startup or high-growth technology company, ideally from early or mid-stage through scale
Proven ownership of production infrastructure for high-traffic, real-time platforms
Deep hands-on experience with cloud-native architecture (AWS preferred)
Strong experience operating Kubernetes in production environments
Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform or equivalent)
Demonstrated ability to design systems for reliability, fault tolerance, and scalability
Experience leading or owning incident response and production operations
Strongly Preferred
Working knowledge of Rust or experience supporting high-performance backend systems
Experience with blockchain, crypto wallets, or exchange infrastructure
Background in fintech, payments, trading, or financial systems
Experience securing systems that handle transactions, keys, and sensitive data
Familiarity with real-time data pipelines, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures
What distinguishes a great candidate
You have seen platforms break under real-world pressure — and fixed them
You understand how early technical decisions affect long-term scale
You know when to move fast and when stability matters more
You think in terms of risk, failure modes, and blast radius
You are comfortable taking ownership without needing constant direction
What we are not looking for
Junior or mid-level DevOps engineers
Candidates without real production ownership
Purely theoretical or certification-only backgrounds
Engineers who want to debate decisions instead of executing them
