At Cloudpepper, we build and operate the platform behind 10,000+ Odoo
instances. Our control plane is built with Symfony/PHP, our automation runs on
Ansible, and the infrastructure underneath is Linux, PostgreSQL, and Nginx.
This is not a pure infrastructure role. We're looking for a senior engineer
who can work across both platform and infrastructure: building backend
platform features, improving automation, and owning the reliability of
production Odoo environments at scale.
**Location:** Remote (anywhere with CET overlap) or Brussels-based (Belgium)
**Compensation:** $150,000–$180,000/year
**Schedule:** Full-time, flexible working hours
### What you'll do
* 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 ### What we're looking for
* Deep experience with PHP/Symfony
* Hands-on background in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure-heavy backend roles
* 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 ### Why join us
* 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
* Direct work with the founders, no layers in between ### How to apply Apply at <https://cloudpepper.io/careers/platform-engineer/>
