The Team

At BLP, we create cutting-edge products for automated document processing. We are now building a dedicated team to automate internal processes as well, providing a unique opportunity to design tools from scratch using state-of-the-art technologies and modern engineering practices.

Engineers on this team will take end-to-end ownership of internal automation tools and workflows, building solutions that amplify impact across the company. As BLP grows rapidly, the improvements this team introduces compound, enabling more efficient operations and giving the company the ability to scale without unnecessary overhead. This is a chance to tackle high-leverage problems in a fast-moving startup environment, where the right solution can have wide-reaching effects.

Our team thrives on spotting inefficiencies and turning them into impactful solutions that are built once, the right way. We value engineering excellence in every decision, prioritizing simple, maintainable architectures, clean code, and sustainable design that 'just works' with minimal ongoing maintenance. We take pride in craftsmanship, focusing on solving problems properly rather than quickly, so our tools continue to deliver value over the long term.

What You'll Do

• Be the DevOps evangelist at blp: lead the way in building a world-class developer experience and spreading DevOps best practices across all teams.

• Enable other teams: collaborate closely with product teams to tackle their toughest DevOps challenges, implement sustainable solutions, and equip them with the skills to maintain and evolve those solutions independently.

• Build and maintain internal developer productivity tools, workflows, and automation that help teams ship faster and more reliably.

• Own infrastructure evolution: help teams deploy tools and services to the cloud in a robust, scalable, and maintainable way, using modern IaC tools like Terraform and the most suitable cloud products.

• Optimize CI/CD pipelines: make builds faster, deployments safer, and delivery smoother through automation, caching, and pipeline simplification.

• Raise the bar on reliability: enhance system monitoring, alerting, and observability to catch issues before they impact users.

• Harden security: ensure Kubernetes clusters, cloud resources, and dependencies stay secure and compliant with standards like ISO 27001.

Tech Stack

Our infrastructure and automation tools are constantly evolving, but today we rely on:

• Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS

• IaC & Automation: Terraform, Cloud Build, Cloud Run, GitHub Actions, Dependabot

• Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes

• Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana

• Languages: Python, Go, Kotlin, Java, TypeScript

• Security & Compliance: ISO

• Version Control & Collaboration: GitHub, Slack, MS Teams

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Opportunity to build tools used across the company that solve real problems.

• See the direct results of your work in how teams across the company operate more effectively.

• Small, highly skilled team where every engineer's voice matters.

• Direct influence on the team's tools, practices, and culture.

• Freedom to choose technologies and approaches that work best.

• Deep technical challenges with real impact, not "busywork," but improvements that compound over time.

• Collaborative, engineering-first culture that values craftsmanship, learning, and ownership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience with DevOps tools (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, GCP), including hands-on experience deploying and maintaining production workloads. Strong understanding of infrastructure as code, automation principles, system reliability, security, and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Logging, OpenTelemetry). Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 is a plus.

• 3+ years of experience with modern programming languages, preferably Java, Kotlin, Python, or Go.

• Passionate about software craftsmanship: Strong understanding of software development principles, Clean Code, and Clean Architecture.

• Ability to transform vague ideas into precise requirements, specifications, and executable code.

• Team-oriented: proactively support goals, close gaps, and foster smooth collaboration.

• Strong learning ability and dedication to continuous improvement.

• Comfortable with tools like Git, Gradle, GitHub, and Docker, and adaptable to quickly learn and apply new technologies, whether emerging frameworks, APIs, or innovations like LLMs.

• Exceptional abstraction skills: simplify complex systems, identify core concepts, create generalized models, and communicate complex ideas clearly.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: balance cost and benefit, avoid over-engineering, and deliver high-quality solutions efficiently.

• Ownership and initiative: take responsibility for your projects, propose solutions, and maintain focus on achieving objectives.

• Excellent communication skills: able to explain complex DevOps concepts to developers with varying levels of experience.
