Remote | Immediate Start | Initial One-Month Contract

We need a proactive, hands-on DevOps engineer to take a small but messy infrastructure estate and turn it into a clean, secure and easy-to-manage production platform.

This is not an audit-only or advisory role.

You will own the full cycle:

Review → Protect → Clean Up → Standardise → Deploy → Test → Document → Handover

Current Estate

The environment includes approximately:

• 9 Linux VPS servers

• websites, applications, APIs and services

• Docker, Docker Compose and Coolify

• PostgreSQL, Redis and BullMQ

• Next.js, Node.js, Strapi and PWAs

• Cloudflare DNS, SSL, WAF and R2

• GitHub and self-hosted Gitea

• Several WordPress and cPanel environments

• A local Docker and AI development machine

Most applications are already built or substantially complete. The priority is to clean up the estate, protect what is working and establish a reliable company-controlled deployment process.

First Priority: Days 1–2

The first task will be to work with our WordPress team to tidy, secure and redeploy the existing cPanel and WordPress estate.

This includes:

• mapping all WordPress sites, domains, databases and hosting accounts;

• confirming backups before changes;

• reviewing PHP versions, SSL, plugins, themes and security;

• cleaning up abandoned or duplicated installations;

• resolving broken routing, database or deployment issues;

• redeploying the agreed WordPress sites cleanly;

• confirming each site is live, backed up and manageable;

• documenting the completed WordPress and cPanel setup.

Once the WordPress estate is stable, you will move into the wider infrastructure audit and deployment work.

Wider Responsibilities

You will:

• audit all servers, containers, domains, repositories, databases, queues and environments;

• map each application to its server, repository, database and deployment;

• compare live code against Git and preserve any live-only changes;

• create and verify backups before making structural changes;

• standardise GitHub, Gitea, Docker and Coolify;

• implement protected branches, pull requests and owner-approved Production releases;

• establish a clear deployment flow:

Development → Staging 2 → Staging 1 / Pre-production → Production

• separate databases, credentials, Redis/BullMQ services and storage where required;

• fix routing, environment variables, persistent volumes, networking and reverse proxies;

• deploy and stabilise the remaining applications;

• review Cloudflare DNS, SSL, caching, WAF and R2;

• configure monitoring, logging, health checks and restart policies;

• implement tested application rollback and database recovery;

• clean up the local AI and Docker machine;

• remove obsolete services only after backup and approval;

• produce clear documentation and train the internal team.

Production Safety

No destructive Production change may be made without:

1. a verified backup;

2. a documented rollback plan;

3. explicit owner approval.

The project is complete only when the agreed estate is deployed, tested, backed up, documented and handed over.

AI-Assisted Deployments

We use Codex and other AI development tools heavily.

You must be comfortable deploying AI-assisted builds, reviewing Dockerfiles, environment variables, dependencies and logs, and working with developers to resolve application-level issues.

Blind deployment is not acceptable. You remain responsible for infrastructure validation and deployment safety.

Required Experience

Strong practical experience with most of the following:

• Linux VPS administration

• Docker and Docker Compose

• Coolify or a similar platform

• GitHub and Gitea

• PostgreSQL backup and recovery

• Redis and BullMQ

• Cloudflare

• Nginx or Traefik

• Monitoring and logging

• WordPress and cPanel

• Next.js, Node.js or Strapi deployments

Kubernetes is not required. We want simple, reliable and maintainable infrastructure.

Team Support

You will receive daily support from:

• Founder: approximately 06:00–15:00 ICT

• Technical lead and team: approximately 15:00–03:00 ICT

• WordPress developers for the initial cPanel cleanup

• Application developers for code-level fixes

• Codex-generated audits and deployment packs

You must be available for meaningful daily overlap with the team, ideally including 12:00–16:00 ICT.

Who We Need

We need someone who:

• takes initiative;

• works independently without disappearing;

• communicates clearly;

• raises blockers early;

• documents every important change;

• follows the agreed process;

• avoids unnecessary complexity;

• finishes and tests what they start.

This role will not suit someone who only produces reports, waits for constant instructions or hands implementation to somebody else.

Contract

• Immediate start

• Remote

• Initial one-month contract

• Must be your primary project

• Daily progress reporting required

• Possible ongoing work after successful completion

Please apply with a short summary of your relevant DevOps, Docker, WordPress/cPanel and production deployment experience, your availability and examples of similar estates you have personally cleaned up and redeployed.
