Key responsibilities include developing infrastructure as code practices, automating software operations, maintaining critical services, and handling escalations. You'll work with modern technologies like Prometheus, Grafana, and Elasticsearch, while having the opportunity to contribute to open source projects.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience in IT operations automation, infrastructure as code, and a deep passion for technology, particularly Linux and open source. Benefits include a competitive compensation package, learning and development budget, and various travel opportunities to meet colleagues at 'sprints'.
