DevOps lead engineer

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Remote)

We're looking for a DevOps Lead engineer to architect and maintain the infrastructure backbone for our international clients.

You'll work with diverse technology stacks and lead a team that keeps everything running smoothly.

This isn't a "keep the lights on" role. You'll design systems from the ground up, automate what can be automated, and make strategic decisions that affect millions of users.

The position is flexible.

Work from our Mostar and Sarajevo offices, remotely, or hybrid—your choice.


What you'll do

  • Design and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure across diverse technology stacks
  • Act as the architect for DevOps systems, ensuring infrastructure meets current and future business needs
  • Lead and guide the DevOps team, fostering collaboration and continuous improvement
  • Develop and enhance DevOps processes, standards, and best practices across the organization
  • Provide accurate estimations and technical input for infrastructure-related project planning
  • Drive automation initiatives to streamline project setup, deployment, and scaling
  • Ensure effective monitoring, performance, and support for live environments


What we're looking for

  • Proven experience in DevOps engineering and system architecture design
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Broad knowledge of various infrastructure tools and technologies - not limited to a single stack
  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
  • Strong focus on automation, reliability, and scalability
  • Experience in cross-department collaboration to ensure alignment between development, operations, and project management
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a dynamic environment
  • Experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.)
  • Knowledge of security best practices in cloud and DevOps environments


How you work

  • You take ownership to get things done
  • You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teams
  • You manage time effectively in dynamic environments
  • You've worked in agile teams before


What we offer

  • Choose between office, work-from-anywhere, or hybrid working options
  • Salary incentives, sales, employee referral bonuses, regress, and newborn gifts
  • We work together on mastering business development, tech, and soft skills
  • 50% of ZenDev's dividends are shared with our co-workers
  • You can take care of personal stuff during work hours and catch up later
  • Our working hours and lunch breaks are flexible within the same time frame
  • We host company events, vacation trips, workshops, and sports activities
  • We pay for your gym membership so you can maintain a healthy mind and a healthy body

We challenge requirements. We optimize budgets. We build more with less.

If you're a DevOps engineer who wants to lead, architect, and make real decisions, we should talk.
