DevOps Engineer

We are looking for DevOps Engineers of all skill levels who love to explore new technologies, optimize existing ones and share the knowledge along the way.

At Custom Ink, we are building an e-commerce platform on which you are able to design and order custom printed swag, and the operations and supply chain tooling that powers our large printing facilities. We have millions of users, and more than a hundred applications running in AWS.

This is a remote position; however, to be eligible for hire, candidates must reside within the Czech Republic, with in-office presence for onboarding. 

What will you do

• Engineer and optimize automated cloud infrastructure across multiple regions, ensuring high availability, security, cost efficiency, and PCI compliance.

• Build and maintain next-gen infrastructure for AI models and microservices using Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), Lambda, Kserve, and Knative.

• Develop, review, and refine software tooling and frameworks (primarily in Python and Go) to reduce deployment friction and enhance self-service capabilities for developers.

• Collaborate closely with global engineering ecosystems, maintaining regular regional working hours while occasionally syncing with international team members on major initiatives.

• Design, manage, and scale robust CI/CD pipelines to accelerate software delivery and testing automation.

• Participate in our on-call rotations and help actively resolve infrastructure incidents.
  

What we’re looking for:

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience as a DevOps, Systems, or Site Reliability Engineer. 

• Strong programming proficiency in Python, Go, or Ruby, with a proven track record of building internal tooling and contributing directly to application codebases beyond basic scripting.

• Core cloud expertise in AWS utilizing services such as EKS, RDS, Aurora, Lambda, and EC2 (AWS certification is a plus).

• Experience supporting AI/ML workloads, including hands-on exposure to modern open-source AI infrastructure components like Kserve, Knative, or vector databases.

• Experience deploying and managing AI agents using cloud frameworks such as the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) or AWS Bedrock, with a focus on standardization, guardrailed development, and cost-effective infrastructure management.

• Solid Infrastructure as Code (IaC) experience managing environments using Terraform and AWS SAM.

• Practical understanding of a modern Kubernetes stack built on EKS and GitOps workflows using ArgoCD.

• Pipeline automation skills utilizing CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or custom CI/CD orchestration tools.Clear, confident communication skills, essential for working within the local team and syncing with international colleagues.
  

Who this role isn't for: 

• Engineers who prefer a traditional, high-firefighting infrastructure setup over structured IaC and GitOps optimization.

• Siloed specialists who want to execute isolated infrastructure tasks rather than collaboratively partnering with development teams to optimize, containerize, and migrate microservices.
