Lead DevOps Engineer at Hobbii

Are you an experienced Lead DevOps Engineer looking to take ownership of infrastructure and shape the future of a fast-growing tech setup? Join us and help build scalable, secure solutions that support millions of users worldwide.

At Hobbii, we’re offering you the chance to make your mark. As the main driver behind a major migration project, you'll play a pivotal role in our technical direction and gain invaluable experience. We believe in freedom with responsibility, and our work culture reflects that.

Whether you’re an early riser, a post-run starter, or a snooze-button champion, you’ll have the flexibility to work from where it suits you best — whether that’s from home or our Copenhagen HQ. Our office is full of energy, with regular social events and great coffee. In our latest eNPS survey, colleagues were one of the highest-rated things about working here — and they’re ready to welcome you.

The Quest

You’ll lead and further develop Hobbii’s DevOps practice — continuing our journey to a robust, scalable platform, while overseeing the migration from our existing services to a modern cloud setup.

The Road Ahead

• Get familiar with our current infrastructure, tech stack, and teams
• Lead our migration to a new cloud-native platform
• Improve our CI/CD pipelines
• Guide architecture and tooling decisions
• Balance efficiency and security in our cloud and on-prem environments
• Build and grow the DevOps function as we scale
  
  

Your Mastery

• 5+ years as a DevOps or Platform Engineer
• Proven experience designing secure, scalable cloud infrastructure
• Strong knowledge of Linux, containers, and orchestration
• Solid understanding of networking and hybrid-cloud environments
• Proficient in Terraform, Docker, and AWS
• Familiar with the AWS Well-Architected Framework
  
  

Our setup includes AWS (S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, ECS, CloudFormation, etc.). The new platform is built entirely with Infrastructure as Code, using Terragrunt to manage a multi-account AWS environment with EKS at its core. We also operate some on-prem workloads in our warehouse.

This role is located at our headquarters in Copenhagen NV, Denmark. Consequently, you must possess a valid EU work permit

Your Fellow Adventurers

You'll work closely with other Tech Leads and report to the CTO. Hobbii’s tech team consists of 30+ tech colleagues, and we’re growing. You’ll be central to establishing a strong DevOps function.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive salary tailored to your experience, plus:

• Flexible remote work options that allow you to work from home when it supports your workflow and well-being — because we value your work-life balance
