Easygo, behind the global brands Stake, KICK and Easygo Gaming, is expanding its engineering presence in Belgrade and is hiring a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer for the team behind Kick.com, a live video streaming platform serving more than 130 million users. The role is hands-on, focused on owning production challenges and building the platform other engineers use; the same platform will later be extended to provide environments, delivery pipelines and shared services for other Easygo products.

Key responsibilities

• Improve monitoring, logging and observability (Datadog / Cloudflare).
• Help new products reach their first production deployment and support large-scale live events, including load testing, capacity planning and autoscaling.
• Keep systems secure and contribute hands-on code, leading projects end to end across both offices.
• Use AI tooling to improve processes and take part in the follow-the-sun on-call rotation.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years of hands-on experience in infrastructure, DevOps or software engineering, with a focus on scalable system design.
• Experience with complex microservices, high user volumes and large-scale distributed systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills, excellent communication skills and comfort in a distributed team across time zones.
• Preferred: experience with real-time messaging, load testing, CI/CD tooling and internal developer platforms.

• AWS native services: EC2, RDS, ElastiCache, IAM
