**About the project:**
At Sircular, we are building a set of products that will transform the landscape for investors and startups in Europe. We believe that startups will be the most important force to solve the challenges we face in this century. In order for them to succeed, most ambitious entrepreneurs must get access to capital. Our mission is to democratise access to the best investors and most promising startups. Sircular is a market network platform where startups and investors meet each other and build long-lasting relationships.

We aim to become the world’s most important place for startups and investors, and you can help us get there. If you are excited about the startup ecosystem, interested in getting ownership in a high-growth company, and passionate about technology, let’s connect!

**Role:**
As a DevOps consultant you will help Sircular establish a solid infrastructure, including some initial optimisation, infrastructure refactoring, and consultation on future scaling. You will setup CI/CD (replacing the current solutions that are lacklustre), and analyze Sircular’s infrastructure and deployment requirements in line with the company’s long-term goals, proposing and implementing a long-term solution. You will also consult and support Sircular in their DevOps needs.

We’re looking for a long-term collaboration, but this role is not designed to be full-time. There are a few options of engagement for this role:
- You can join as a consultant on an ad-hoc basis (work on-demand / as needed)
- You can join on a part-time basis, working actively for 2-3 days a week
- Or you could combine the two options, working on an ad-hoc basis and occasionally jumping in for a few days of more active engagement

**Key requirements:**
- English proficiency (effortless verbal and written communication)
- Significant experience (2+ years) with DevOps and DevOps automation (with e.g Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)
- In-depth understanding of networking (TCP/IP, VPC,VPN) 
- In-depth understanding of AWS solutions
- Experience in security management, infrastructure cost optimisation, and infrastructure monitoring (and corresponding AWS solutions)
- Good understanding of CI/CD workflows and how to manage them
- Fluency in scripting languages (bash/zsh)

**Bonus (nice-to-haves):**
- Experience guiding the engineering team in defining processes and rules
- Experience building solutions for distributed application monitoring
- Programming experience
