Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer

## About the role 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. ## 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 ## About the company Cloudpepper builds and operates the platform behind 10,000+ Odoo instances.
