The work is real
SEAL, our entry product, is live in Swiss healthcare: more than 800,000 secure interactions every month through our partner HIN. We are now rolling out the Verimesh Suite, our Decentralized Key Management (DKMS) infrastructure, starting with HIN and the first hospital and technical-partner deployments. Everything we ship is Open Source, under AGPLv3.
All of that runs on infrastructure someone has to build and keep running: in our own cloud, and increasingly in our partners' and customers'. A demo runs when someone is watching. Production runs at three in the morning when no one is. We are hiring the engineer who makes sure ours does.
Our infrastructure is decentralised by design: a real WireGuard mesh, Nodes running inside our partners' and customers' own environments, not tenants on someone else's platform. Keeping that running rewards people who understand what the tools abstract, not only how to configure them.
What you'll do
- Build and operate Vereign's own production infrastructure: containers on Kubernetes/OpenShift, the WireGuard mesh, CI/CD, observability, backups, and secrets management, on Swiss hosting.
- Help partners and customers stand up and run the same stack in their own environments (Hub, Node, and Cloud), hand in hand with our Solutions & Support Engineer.
- Automate onboarding so a new institution goes live repeatably and predictably, not by hand each time.
- Own reliability: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and a fair on-call rotation for live, regulated systems.
- Keep the build honest: reproducible pipelines, because verifiable code is a precondition for verifiable trust.
Who you'll work with
Petar Dobrinov (Head of DevOps), Zdravko Iliev (Head of Engineering), Rosen Georgiev (Head of QA), Kalin Canov (General Manager Sofia), and our Solutions & Support Engineer, plus the partners and customers whose deployments you help keep running, starting with HIN.
What we're looking for
- Real production ops experience: Linux, containers, and Kubernetes (or OpenShift) operated for real, not just in a lab; CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (for example Terraform, Ansible, or Helm); and observability you have actually relied on during an incident.
- Systems understanding underneath the tooling: how Linux really behaves (processes, memory, storage, filesystems), so you can diagnose a misbehaving box without waiting for a dashboard to tell you the answer.
- Networking to the layer that matters: TCP/IP, routing, DNS, and TLS/PKI, and a feel for how traffic actually moves across a mesh, not only how to click a security group into place. WireGuard is a strong plus.
- A security-minded instinct: secrets management, hardening, and reproducible builds treated as defaults, not afterthoughts.
- The judgement to automate a problem away rather than firefight it twice, and strong written English so others can run what you build.
We are not looking for someone who only assembles YAML until the pipeline goes green. We want someone who understands what is underneath it: real networks, real machines, the physical layer, not just a cloud console. A well-rounded systems engineer who has moved into DevOps is exactly who we have in mind.
Regulated or healthcare environments, Open Source familiarity, and Bulgarian alongside English are all a plus.
Based at our Sofia office (hybrid). Because you will operate live, regulated systems, the role carries a fair on-call commitment we will define together and staff sustainably as the team grows. Compensation is competitive and matched to your experience, discussed early and openly.
A note from the CEO: A demo runs when someone is watching. Production runs at three in the morning when no one is. What we build is depended on by institutions in a regulated sector today, which means someone has to keep it running, in our cloud and in theirs, without drama. Plenty of people can make a pipeline go green. Fewer can tell you what it is actually doing, and fix it when the abstraction leaks. That understanding is what keeps regulated systems up at three in the morning. If you take quiet pride in systems that simply stay up, and you would rather automate a problem away than fight it twice, we should talk.
All the best,
Georg
