Job description

Join us at Tradify as a DevOps Engineer, where you'll be instrumental in keeping our platform running smoothly for thousands of tradespeople worldwide. We're looking for someone passionate about automation, monitoring, and making systems more reliable - someone who gets excited about eliminating manual work and building robust infrastructure that just works.

As our DevOps Engineer, you'll be at the heart of our technical operations, working closely with our engineering team to ensure our SaaS platform stays fast, reliable, and secure. You'll help us modernize our infrastructure, automate repetitive tasks, and build the monitoring systems that let us sleep soundly at night (even when you're on-call!). This is a role where you'll see the direct impact of your work - every improvement you make helps our platform run better for the tradespeople who depend on us every day.

You'll tackle interesting challenges across our multi-cloud environment (primarily Azure, with some AWS and GCP), improve our CI / CD pipelines, and help shape how we deploy and monitor our applications. From diagnosing performance bottlenecks to implementing security patches, from writing automation scripts to responding to incidents - no two days will be the same.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their DevOps journey who wants to grow rapidly. You'll learn from experienced engineers, work with modern tools and technologies, and have real ownership over critical infrastructure. If you're the kind of person who automates their morning coffee routine and gets genuinely excited about uptime metrics, we want to hear from you!

We believe in sustainable on-call (roughly 1 week every 8 weeks), proper incident reviews without blame, and celebrating both the wins and the learning opportunities.

    If you're ready to level up your DevOps career in an environment that combines technical excellence with genuine fun, where you can automate away the boring stuff while building systems that matter, we'd love to hear from you.

    Above all, you must be excited about joining a world-class engineering team powering a global SaaS business. We value team members who act with integrity, share knowledge generously, and understand that the best solutions come from collaboration.

    Ready to help us build infrastructure that's as reliable as it is elegant? Apply now!
