What does it mean to be a DevOps at eko?

We value expanding skill sets, discovering new areas of excellence, and pursuing passions over rigid job titles.

Your true potential 

CVs and resumes can’t capture the full essence of who you are as a developer. We believe in looking beyond project bullet points and tech stacks to understand the person behind them. We prioritize how you think and solve problems over specific programming languages and their quirks.

Our ideal candidates are curious, creative thinkers, and continuous learners with a passion for technology. If you thrive on learning by doing, love taking on exciting challenges, and enjoy exploring new territories, then Eko is the place for you.

WHAT WILL YOU DO…

• Lead features end-to-end with full ownership and accountability, from design through deployment.
• Establish monitoring and observability practices that provide real-time visibility into complex workflows and distributed systems.
• Design and build infrastructure for large-scale usage.
• Shape how we rapidly build and release code to production for millions of viewers.

• Advanced knowledge in JavaScript
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python, or Go) for automation and system management.

• Proven experience in security best practices and vulnerability management.
• Experience with SQL and modern data stack tools (e.g., MySQL, Postgres, Snowflake, dbt).
• Experience in software development is a strong advantage.
