Dear Hiring Manager,
I am excited to apply for the Senior DevOps Engineer position at Zartis. With over 7 years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure and a strong focus on AWS, I have successfully led infrastructure refactoring and performance tuning initiatives for cross-functional product teams. I am particularly drawn to this role because it offers the autonomy and ownership I thrive on, while allowing me to act as a bridge between engineering and CloudOps. My proactive mindset and strong communication skills have enabled me to deliver value quickly in fast-paced environments. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your fintech project and drive measurable business impact.
Sincerely,

Sample interview questions
I would start by auditing the current setup, including resources, configurations, and cost. Then I'd review documentation, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring. I would prioritize quick wins and establish a dialogue with the engineering team to understand their pain points, then create a roadmap for improvements.
In my previous role, I facilitated weekly syncs between dev and ops, translating requirements into infrastructure changes. This reduced deployment friction by 30% and increased trust between teams.
I once migrated a monolithic application to a microservices architecture using ECS and RDS. I broke down the project into phases, ensured zero downtime, and reduced costs by 25% through right-sizing resources.
I use monitoring tools like CloudWatch and Prometheus to identify bottlenecks. I analyze metrics, optimize database queries, adjust auto-scaling policies, and conduct load testing. I also review architecture for inefficient patterns.
I am self-driven and like to understand the bigger picture to make informed decisions. I prioritize tasks based on impact, set clear goals, and communicate progress to stakeholders. I take ownership and ensure deliverables meet quality standards.

You will work on meaningful projects that accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies, from strategy and discovery through to full product delivery, helping turn complex challenges into measurable outcomes.
With engineering hubs across EMEA and LATAM, and long term partnerships in financial services, healthcare and life sciences, and energy and climate, we offer opportunities to work on projects that truly matter.

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to work on a project in the fintech industry.
The project:
Our teammates are talented people that come from a variety of backgrounds. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture based on trust and innovation.
You will be embedded within an AI-driven product team, working as a bridge between the engineering team and CloudOps. Your main objective will be to take ownership of AWS infrastructure work, offloading DevOps responsibilities from the engineering team so they can focus on business logic and product development. This is a hands-on role supporting infrastructure improvements, refactoring, and performance-tuning activities.
We are looking for someone with good communication skills, ideally with experience making decisions, being proactive, used to working autonomously, and with good attention to detail. This role requires a senior profile who can add value quickly with minimal ramp-up or supervision — it is not suitable for a junior candidate.
What you will do:
Take ownership of AWS infrastructure work for the product engineering team
Act as a bridge between the engineering team and CloudOps, ensuring smooth collaboration and alignment
Support infrastructure improvements, refactoring, and performance-tuning initiatives
Offload infrastructure/DevOps tasks from the engineering team, enabling them to focus on business logic and product development
Work autonomously to identify and resolve infrastructure challenges with minimal supervision
Contribute to the reliability, scalability, and performance of cloud infrastructure
What you will bring:
7+ years of hands-on experience as a DevOps Engineer, with a strong track record in senior-level roles
Strong AWS expertise, with proven ability to take ownership of cloud infrastructure work
Experience acting as a liaison between engineering and CloudOps/infrastructure teams
A high level of autonomy — able to add value quickly with minimal onboarding or supervision
Solid experience with infrastructure refactoring and performance tuning
Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset
Nice to have:
Experience working within embedded or cross-functional product teams
Familiarity with AI-driven platforms or SaaS environments
Experience with infrastructure-as-code and automation tooling
What we offer:
100% Remote Work
WFH allowance: Monthly payment as financial support for remote working.
Career Growth: We have established a career development program accessible for all employees with 360º feedback that will help us to guide you in your career progression.
Training: For Tech training at Zartis, you have time allocated during the week at your disposal. You can request from a variety of options, such as online courses (from Pluralsight and Educative.io, for example), English classes, books, conferences, and events.
Mentoring Program: You can become a mentor in Zartis or you can receive mentorship, or both.
Zartis Wellbeing Hub (Kara Connect): A platform that provides sessions with a range of specialists, including mental health professionals, nutritionists, physiotherapists, fitness coaches, and webinars with such professionals as well.
Multicultural working environment: We organize tech events, webinars, parties, and activities to do online team-building games and contests.
