  • Build observability, SLOs, alerting, and incident response processes

  • Automate deployments, infrastructure, and developer workflows

  • Partner closely with product engineering teams to build systems that scale with rapid growth

What we're looking for

  • Experience operating production workloads on a major cloud platform

  • Strong Python skills and experience optimizing backend services

  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and scalable architectures

  • Experience with monitoring, observability, and incident management

  • Experience optimizing databases at scale (MongoDB is a plus)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred)

  • Passion for automation, infrastructure, and solving complex scaling challenges

Why Lio?

Work directly with our CTO on company-defining infrastructure decisions. Build the foundation for one of Europe's fastest-growing enterprise AI companies.
