Bonus Points for: - Previous Cloud/DevOps/SRE/Platform Team Lead or Engineering Manager experience, or building and scaling a Cloud/Platform Engineering function. - GPU infrastructure and Kubernetes GPU workloads (NVIDIA GPU Operator, drivers, scheduling), and supporting AI/ML and data platforms (high-performance storage, distributed workloads, model serving). - Azure AI and data services (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Databricks, Event Hubs), service meshes, ingress controllers, API gateways, and advanced Kubernetes networking (Helm, Kustomize, operators). Benefits: - Competitive Salary – A rewarding package that reflects your skills and experience. - Flexible Working – Enjoy flexible hybrid model in our modern Athens office or work remotely from anywhere in European economic Area (EU, Switzerland etc.) or UK (up to 6 weeks per year). - Health & Wellness Benefits – Private insurance, and the chance to work with a stellar crew. - Learning & Development – Training budget to level up your skills from the top tech partners in the market (Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce, Databricks etc.) – whether it’s certifications or courses, we’ve got you covered. - Career Growth – Clear opportunities to develop your skills and progress within the company. - Great Team & Culture – Work with talented, supportive people in a collaborative environment. - Team Events & Perks – Enjoy social events, celebrations, and exclusive employee benefits. - Modern Tools & Technology – Everything you need to do your best work. - A Workplace That Values You – Your ideas, contribution, and well-being genuinely matter Ready to create some tech magic with us?
