Responsibilities
  • Engage in and improve the whole lifecycle of Services—from inception and design, through deployment, operation and refinement
  • Whiteboard a fix to a scaling problem -- and then make it happen
  • Maintain Services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency and overall system health
  • Take Operational responsibility for the Services that we own, including taking part in an On-Call rotation, practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems

  • Evolve Services by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity
  • Contribute to our Internal Tooling set that helps us improve our Operations processes, manage our Infrastructure, and scale our Systems


A successful candidate will have
  • Experience setting up and maintaining distributed environments know how to design, implement and operate services with functional, scalability or costs constraints
  • Experience working in a DevOps focused culture environment, where the team you’ll join will be providing support to feature teams to accelerate time to market thru tools and baselines offered
  • Experience in AWS services and container-related technologies, specially EKS
  • Experience in automation and programming to keep Infrastructure as Code. Knowledge of Golang/Python, as most of the tools we provide to the teams, and we are owners of are coded in that language
  • Commitment to provide well-tested, performing and high-quality services and strong skill capabilities to push it forward
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to communicate effectively with technical communities
  • Able to participate in the remunerated on calls team once every 3-4 weeks
  • Continuously discover, evaluate, and implement new technologies to maximise development efficiency
  • Experience working as a Sysadmin/Platform engineer in production on services with high traffic


Some of the benefits that we offer
  • The chance to make an impact in one of the fastest-growing scale-up companies in Europe
  • Develop your career working in a super exciting environment with a great working atmosphere, international work environment with an international and multidisciplinary team
  • Salary and Performance reviews every six months
  • Highly competitive salaries
  • ESOP (Employee Stock Plan) program and all technical staff are eligible for it after reaching a certain level of seniority
  • Flexible working hours
  • We are a remote-first company, so if your office is at home, we will provide for any equipment you need to do your job
  • Free emotional and psychological well-being support with Therapy Chat
  • Annual personal learning budget of €1,000 for conferences, courses, books, etc.
  • Free languages classes: English, Spanish, German, French

What we’re about

At Job&Talent, we're revolutionising the employment market globally. Our mission is simple and clear. We’re empowering the people who do essential work - from delivery drivers and warehouse workers, to cooks and cleaners - to get work and get paid on their terms.


We match these people with companies we’ve verified through our powerful tech platform. Apps, AI, web-based tools, innovative matching solutions and more. We create seriously smart technology, made for humans, by humans.

And the numbers show we're doing things right. 340,000 people got work with over 2,500 companies globally last year, with clients spanning industries from logistics to retail, hospitality and more. We generated €1.9 billion in revenue in 2022. And we’re grateful to our top tier investors at Atomico, Kinnevik and Softbank.


We're headquartered in sunny Madrid, but we're a remote-first company operating in 10 countries across Europe, the United States and Latin America.


But there’s a missing piece. You.


Join our community

If you’re looking for a company that values innovation, high standards and data, you’ve found it. We’re also good listeners, because everyone’s voice is heard at Job&Talent. These values help us make good decisions and keep momentum. That’s how we operate. Standard.


When it comes to our people, we’re all uniquely different. And it’s that difference that makes us stronger.


We encourage everyone to bring their true selves to work. Being real and empathic means we can build better products, services and workplaces for our workers and our clients. And dare we say it, we think that makes us all happier humans.


What’s in it for you

We're building the world’s leading digital marketplace for essential work. You’ll hear 10x experience, AI, technology and human-centred design quite a lot. We strive for that across the entire company, from finance, to supply, to product.


Make an impact through extreme ownership of the work you do. You create something and you help drive it forward. At Job&Talent, you’ll make an impact across borders with cross-functional teams, wherever you are.


Be rewarded financially. It’s ingrained into our company philosophy. We offer our employees competitive salaries and benefits. Our Talent team can tell you a lot more about the perks in your region.


Grow professionally by doing, not just watching or talking. We’re completely hands-on and we’re bootstrappers, making the most of our resources. And don’t be surprised to find yourself on a call with one of our founders. They like the details as much as the big picture.


Proud to champion equality

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
