Infrastructure Engineer, Senior [remote from Portugal and selected EU countries]

We are currently collaborating with a leading global e-commerce and luxury resale group, present in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. In this context, we are looking for someone with energy, a sense of responsibility, and motivation to take on the role of Senior Infrastructure Engineer, in one of the strategic initiatives we are leading with this client.

FCamara are one of the fastest-growing technology and innovation groups in Latin America, and since 2021, we've been operating in Portugal, working across various domains, including Unified Commerce, Application Development, AI (of course), and Cybersecurity, with over 1,700 professionals distributed across 12 companies in Brazil, Portugal, and the United Kingdom – through projects, managed services, squads, and staff augmentation.

Portugal serves as our service hub for the Northern Hemisphere. From here, our team supports clients in Portugal, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

In Europe, in addition to the FCamara brand as a technology service provider, we are also the main investor and shareholder of Beta-i, a leading name in the field of open and collaborative innovation.

At FCamara, members of our consulting and service teams – proudly known as Orange Blood – find a space to grow and develop their skills. We work on challenging initiatives with real impact, creating the conditions for a true professional leap.

Whether joining with prior experience or through our Orange Juice programme, we are proud that many of our talents have gone on to become entrepreneurs or have progressed into leadership roles such as CTOs, IT Directors, Innovation Leads, or other senior positions in companies around the world.

"Those who join FCamara usually leave much better than when they arrived." – said by former Orange Bloods, not by us.

In practical terms, this person will be primarily responsible for building, maintaining, and evolving a cloud-native platform infrastructure, empowering engineering teams through continuous automation, infrastructure-as-code, and self-service capabilities.

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• Design, build, and operate robust, cloud-native infrastructure focusing on automation, scalability, and high availability
• Maintain Linux and Kubernetes-based systems using automated workflows and modern pipelines
• Drive the implementation of self-service capabilities to reduce cognitive load and empower development teams
• Ensure system reliability, high performance, and fault tolerance for large-scale distributed systems during peak traffic events
• Contribute to technical strategy and roadmaps aligned with global business objectives
• Partner with Principals, Engineering Leads, and developers to translate requirements into scalable platform solutions
• Optimize cloud cost efficiency and system reliability using automated processes and modern infrastructure patterns
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to foster continuous improvement and engineering excellence

For this position, we are looking for someone with at least 5 years of experience in similar roles.

You'll be the right fit if you bring these mandatory requirements:

• Solid experience designing, building, and maintaining complex platform infrastructure and distributed systems
• Deep knowledge in multi-cloud infrastructure environments (e.g., Azure, GCP)
• Strong hands-on expertise with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and Linux administration
• Proven experience with modern CI/CD patterns and tools (e.g., ArgoCD, Jenkins)
• Practical programming skills in languages such as Python or Golang for platform tool development
• Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and platform automation

And it will be very nice if you also bring:

• Experience implementing cloud cost optimization strategies (FinOps)
• Solid background in security and compliance standards for platform engineering
• Experience with internal developer platforms (IDPs) and dev-ex enablement

Beyond technical knowledge, we also expect you to have a collaborative and team-oriented profile:

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a continuous improvement mindset
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across multi-disciplinary teams
• Technical leadership and mentorship capabilities
• Focus on resilience, psychological safety, and operational excellence
