DevOps / Network Engineer (VPN) (Remote)

Who You Are and What You’ll Do

Must Have

• 5+ years of professional DevOps, SRE, or network engineering experience running production infrastructure in an agile environment, with hands-on experience using:
• AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS/PostgreSQL, Route 53, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch) plus at least one additional provider such as DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, or Linode
• Infrastructure as Code and configuration management: Terraform and Ansible
• Docker and container orchestration or fleet management for many small nodes across providers
• Linux system administration and networking: iptables/nftables, WireGuard, routing, NAT, DNS, TLS/certificates, and traffic shaping
• Observability and alerting: Datadog (or Prometheus/Grafana), Cloudflare, log aggregation, on-call and incident response
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions (or similar) with automated testing, deployment safety, and rollback
• Scripting and automation in Python, Go, or Bash
• VPN and domain expertise: Hands-on experience operating VPN, proxy, or networking infrastructure in production, with a strong understanding of server provisioning, configuration and key management, health monitoring, failover, and network performance. Experience with WireGuard, Shadowsocks, OpenVPN, or IKEv2/IPsec technologies at scale is strongly preferred.
• Deep understanding of DNS and domain management, CDN/edge (Cloudflare), IP reputation, geo-distribution, and strategies for resilience against blocking and provider outages.
• Security fundamentals: secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or SSM), encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege IAM, vulnerability scanning, and hardening of public-facing servers.
