DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer
🚀 Full-Time Contract-to-Hire Position
We’re looking for a DevOps / SRE Engineer who will own the reliability, scalability, and automation of The Sports Market’s cloud infrastructure. This is a full-time contract-to-hire role, offering the opportunity to transition into a long-term core engineering position after an initial contract period.
You’ll be instrumental in our migration from a managed ledger platform to a fully self-hosted, Kubernetes-driven, AWS-based architecture. This role puts you at the heart of The Sports Market’s next evolution—building the platform that powers a global sports trading ecosystem.
If you thrive in cloud-native environments, enjoy automating complex systems, and want to help architect a next-generation platform, this role is built for you.
