DevOps Engineer

Overview

This is a remote position.

About Jetbro

Jetbro is a technology consulting and systems integration firm that builds reliable, scalable digital systems for organizations where technology is central to everyday operations.

We specialize in infrastructure-led digital transformation, enterprise modernization, observability engineering, and mission-critical system design. Our philosophy is simple: systems should work quietly, predictably, and under pressure. We value clarity over complexity and reliability over noise.

This role is part of a structured monitoring audit and advisory engagement for a large enterprise client running Mendix applications on Kubernetes.

About the Role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience in Kubernetes-based production environments, especially in monitoring and observability systems.

This engagement is focused on evaluating and strengthening an existing observability stack built around:

• Prometheus
  
• Grafana
  
• Kibana
  
• Loki
  
• Kubernetes
  
• PostgreSQL
  

This is not a greenfield setup. The infrastructure already exists. Your role is to:

• Audit what is configured
  
• Identify coverage gaps
  
• Recommend improvements
  
• Define KPI and SLO thresholds
  
• Improve alerting systems
  
• Suggest architectural optimizations
  

You will work closely with Jetbro’s Architect and Project Lead. This role requires structured thinking, documentation clarity, and production maturity.

Key Responsibilities

• Audit Prometheus scrape targets, exporters, and metric endpoints
  
• Review Grafana dashboards, alert rules, and data sources
  
• Assess log coverage across Kibana and Loki
  
• Map monitoring coverage across application, infrastructure, database, ingress, and platform layers
  
• Identify missing exporters, stale dashboards, broken panels, and alert gaps
  
• Analyze historical metrics to establish performance baselines
  
• Define SLOs, KPIs, warning thresholds, and breach thresholds
  
• Suggest Prometheus alert rules and Alertmanager routing strategies
  
• Implement KPI and SLO alerts within Grafana alert management
  
• Evaluate Kubernetes cluster topology and infrastructure usage patterns
  
• Recommend architecture optimizations based on observed load and behavior
  
• Document findings in structured audit and advisory reports
  
• Participate in weekly syncs and structured handover sessions
  
  
  

Requirements

Mandatory Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering
  
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes production environments
  
• Experience working with Prometheus for metrics collection and alerting
  
• Experience configuring and reviewing Grafana dashboards and alerts
  
• Exposure to log management systems such as Kibana or Loki
  
• Strong understanding of observability across application, infra, DB, and ingress layers
  
• Experience defining or working with KPIs and SLOs
  
• Experience analyzing historical performance data
  
• Ability to troubleshoot production-level monitoring gaps
  
• Strong documentation and communication skills
  

Good To Have

• Experience with Mendix environments
  
• Experience monitoring JVM-based applications
  
• PostgreSQL performance monitoring exposure
  
• Experience with Alertmanager configuration
  
• Experience in audit or advisory-style engagements
  

• Exposure to enterprise Kubernetes architectures
  

What we Care About

• Structured audit thinking over random checks
  
• Production maturity over theoretical knowledge
  
• Data-driven thresholding over guesswork
  
• Clear documentation over informal debugging
  
• Advisory mindset over task-based execution
  

This is a freelance role. We expect clear ownership, consistent availability for agreed hours, and strong delivery discipline.

Benefits

Benefits

• A chance to work on a greenfield project and influence architectural decisions.
  
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
  
• Flexible work environment (remote or hybrid options available).
  
• A collaborative and innovative team culture.
