DevOps Engineer (m/f/d) – Cluj

Introduction

Cluj | Hybrid| DevOps Engineer 

At Impower, we’re redefining how property management works: simple, fast, and digital. Thousands of property managers still rely on outdated tools and manual processes. Our mission is to change that by creating a seamless, data-driven platform that empowers people to manage real estate with ease and confidence.

We are leading the shift toward AI-driven ERP systems in our industry. From automating accounting and bookkeeping to enabling intelligent, agentic workflows, we integrate artificial intelligence deeply into our product and engineering culture.

Our backend runs on Java (Spring Boot) and the frontend on React and TypeScript, deployed through Docker and Kubernetes on AWS.

• Manage Infrastructure: Implement and manage scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS) using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) in partnership with the Senior SRE.

• Ensure Operational Health: Collaborate on improving monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to proactively identify and troubleshoot issues in our production environments.

• Drive Reliability: Contribute to implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to enhance system performance, security, and stability.

• Enable Product Teams: Provide tooling and guidance to product engineers, helping them adopt better operational and deployment practices.
