This role focuses on building, scaling, and maintaining robust infrastructure that powers automation workflows in a hybrid AI‑human environment. You will be responsible for ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability of systems that support large-scale automated processes. Working in a remote freelance setup, you will combine DevOps expertise with automation systems knowledge to design scalable architectures and optimize system performance. The position involves hands‑on infrastructure management, monitoring setup, and troubleshooting in high‑load environments. You will collaborate with AI‑driven agents while ensuring systems remain stable, observable, and fault‑tolerant. This is a highly technical opportunity for engineers who enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges and improving automation at scale.
Accountabilities
Deploy, configure, and maintain self-hosted automation environments such as n8n or similar workflow systems.
Design and manage scalable infrastructure to support high-volume automation workflows and data processing tasks.
Ensure system reliability, uptime, and fault tolerance across distributed automation pipelines.
Implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to track performance and detect failures.
Set up alerts for critical system events such as node failures, performance degradation, or workflow disruptions.
Optimize infrastructure to handle concurrent workloads and performance-intensive operations.
Support scaling strategies to ensure systems remain stable under increasing demand.
Troubleshoot infrastructure issues and independently resolve system-level performance problems.
Continuously improve deployment workflows and automation reliability.
Requirements
Minimum 3+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or backend systems management.
Strong experience with cloud platforms, server environments, and deployment pipelines.
Proven ability to design and maintain high‑availability and scalable systems.
Hands‑on experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (metrics, logs, uptime monitoring).
Familiarity with containerization tools such as Docker or equivalent technologies.
Solid understanding of system performance optimization, scaling strategies, and fault tolerance principles.
Experience supporting automation platforms or high‑frequency workflow systems.
Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to work independently in complex environments.
High attention to detail and strong focus on system reliability and stability.
Ability to manage infrastructure in remote and self-directed work environments.
Upper‑intermediate or higher English proficiency (B2+ required).
Nice to have: portfolio or examples of infrastructure, monitoring, or scaling systems.
Benefits
Fully remote freelance opportunity with flexible working schedule.
Work on cutting‑edge AI + automation hybrid infrastructure systems.
