(Senior) DevOps Engineer

Omio is pursuing a vision of delivering the world's travel inventory to enable journeys to and from anywhere.

As the largest source of travel inventory globally we work with 1000+ suppliers operating in 35 countries in Europe and North America. We are the destination of choice for 600m+ customers annually across our two brands: Rome2Rio for global discovery, and Omio for ticketing and journeys. Simultaneously, we are launching new geographies, new verticals and new products.  We have offices in Berlin, Prague, London and Melbourne. 

We are a team of more than 300 passionate employees from more than 45 countries who share the same vision: to create a single experience that helps send travellers almost anywhere in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.

Omio is a 100% Kubernetes-native company. All our workloads run on Kubernetes and we follow trunk-based development. We are looking for a Senior SRE Engineer with a special interest in solving infrastructure problems. You are passionate about the new era of cloud-native solutions. You have a good understanding of system architectures and components: compute, storage, networking, databases etc. You like solving Ops problems by writing code/scripts and embrace the concept of infrastructure as code. You will help us scale out our infrastructure and operations in a decentralised environment that promotes the speed of our organization.

We are a team that not only supports developers on their software development cycle but, is focused on building useful tooling across the whole organisation, defining clear boundaries on the usage and expectations. Our approach to solve problems is: contract first, tooling second. For more information check out our blog post.

If you like operating infrastructure and you are attached to large scale, high-performance web systems, please have a look at our requirements:
