DevOps for a Symfony project

Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer (Symfony, Ansible, Linux)

Location: Remote (anywhere with CET overlap) or Brussels-based (Belgium)

At Cloudpepper, we build and operate the platform behind 10,000+ Odoo instances. Our stack is built on PHP/Symfony and Ansible, and powers the provisioning, management, and scaling of Odoo ERP environments.

This is not a pure infrastructure role. We are looking for someone who can both build backend platform features in Symfony/PHP and own the automation and Linux infrastructure behind Odoo environments at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain the Ansible-driven automation behind provisioning, deployment, scaling, backups, and restores
• Own core parts of our Linux production infrastructure, including performance, scaling, failover, and replication
• Build and extend platform features in our Symfony-based control plane
• Be the person who handles production issues when they escalate past support
• Work directly with the founders on architecture and priorities, with no product manager layer in between

Requirements

• Hands-on background in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure-heavy backend roles
• Deep experience with PHP/Symfony
• Comfortable in Linux administration at a production level
• Fluent with Ansible and infrastructure automation
• Production experience with PostgreSQL and Nginx: performance tuning, debugging bottlenecks under load, and designing setups that stay reliable at scale
• Solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Comfortable in Python for tooling and automation
• Able to debug across application, database, automation, and infrastructure layers
• Self-directed, takes ownership in a small team
• Writes clearly: design docs, incident postmortems, async updates that don't need a follow-up call
• Familiarity with Go and Odoo is a plus

We Offer

• Remote-first flexibility, with the option to work locally from Brussels
• High ownership and direct impact on a platform used by thousands of businesses
• A small, fast-moving team with very little bureaucracy
• Compensation: $150,000–$180,000/year

Schedule

• Full-time
• Flexible working hours
