Cloudpepper: Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer
Headquarters: Brussels, Belgium URL: https://cloudpepper.io
At Cloudpepper, we build and operate the platform behind 10,000+ Odoo instances. Our control plane is built with Symfony/PHP, our automation runs on Ansible, and the infrastructure underneath is Linux, PostgreSQL, and Nginx.
This is not a pure infrastructure role. We're looking for a senior engineer who can work across both platform and infrastructure: building backend platform features, improving automation, and owning the reliability of production Odoo environments at scale.
Location: Remote (anywhere with CET overlap) or Brussels-based (Belgium) Compensation: $150,000–$180,000/year Schedule: Full-time, flexible working hours
What You'll Do
- Design and maintain the Ansible-driven automation behind provisioning, deployment, scaling, backups, and restores
- Own core parts of our Linux production infrastructure, including performance, scaling, failover, and replication
- Build and extend platform features in our Symfony-based control plane
- Be the person who handles production issues when they escalate past support
- Work directly with the founders on architecture and priorities, with no product manager layer in between
What We're Looking For
- Deep experience with PHP/Symfony
- Hands-on background in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure-heavy backend roles
- Comfortable in Linux administration at a production level
- Fluent with Ansible and infrastructure automation
- Production experience with PostgreSQL and Nginx: performance tuning, debugging bottlenecks under load, and designing setups that stay reliable at scale
- Solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
- Comfortable in Python for tooling and automation
- Able to debug across application, database, automation, and infrastructure layers
- Self-directed, takes ownership in a small team
- Writes clearly: design docs, incident postmortems, async updates that don't need a follow-up call
- Familiarity with Go and Odoo is a plus
Why Join Us
- Remote-first flexibility, with the option to work locally from Brussels
- High ownership and direct impact on a platform used by thousands of businesses
- A small, fast-moving team with very little bureaucracy
- Direct work with the founders, no layers in between
