About the role
- Easygo is looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to join the DevOps/Platform team behind Kick.com, a live video streaming platform serving more than 130M users worldwide.
- This is a hands-on role focused on taking ownership, solving production challenges, and building the platform that other engineers ship on.
- The platform will be extended to provision environments, delivery pipelines, and shared services for products across Easygo.
Responsibilities
- Design, deploy and operate shared platform services, including our real-time messaging platform running on Kubernetes at high connection volumes.
- Architect and design scalable, high-performance infrastructure solutions aligned with project requirements and company standards.
- Optimise existing systems for performance, scalability and reliability, identifying and resolving bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
- Build self-service capabilities and reusable patterns that reduce friction for engineers using our platform.
- Develop and maintain cloud infrastructure and environments using AWS (EKS), Terraform and ArgoCD, enabling new services to be set up quickly and consistently.
- Own delivery tooling, including GitHub Actions pipelines, deployment safety and release tooling that helps engineers ship confidently and roll back quickly.
- Improve and own monitoring, logging and observability (Datadog / Cloudflare), making the platform’s behaviour visible to the teams that depend on it.
- Plan for and support large-scale live events, including load testing, capacity planning, autoscaling behaviour, readiness reviews and hands-on support during events.
- Lead projects end to end across both offices, keeping progress and decisions documented so colleagues in Belgrade and Melbourne are equally informed.
- Participate in the follow-the-sun on-call rotation.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps or software engineering, with a focus on scalable system design and development.

- Experience with AWS native services, including EC2, RDS, ElastiCache and IAM.
- Familiarity with technologies including Terraform, Golang and NodeJS/TypeScript.
- Experience with complex microservices architectures, high user volumes and large-scale distributed systems.
- Solid understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS and VPCs.
- Understanding of security best practices and experience implementing them.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to tackle complex technical challenges at scale.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working as part of a distributed team across time zones.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with real-time messaging systems or running services with high connection volumes.
