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
