An operations-first engineer with deep expertise in running, scaling, automating, and monitoring streaming infrastructure like Kafka and RabbitMQ.
At Armis, streaming is at the heart of our product. We operate hundreds of streaming applications that transform, aggregate, analyze, and enrich the most valuable data we collect from our clients. We process billions of events and petabytes of raw data daily — and we’re just getting started.
Our mission is to provide a rock-solid, scalable, and secure infrastructure foundation that empowers our engineers to build and operate streaming services with confidence. This includes managing the full lifecycle of Kafka and RabbitMQ clusters, automating deployments, securing system access, and building out observability and monitoring capabilities that scale with our growth.
We are seeking a skilled and motivated DevOps engineer with deep familiarity in the streaming ecosystem to join our elite infrastructure team.
