Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer – iGaming Tech Stack Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Tech Stack Depth: This role exposes you to a genuinely modern and broad infrastructure stack — Kubernetes, Terraform/Pulumi, Kafka, Patroni (HA PostgreSQL), Vault, and ELK. These are highly marketable, in-demand skills across cloud-native and SRE roles globally, positioning you well for senior IC or staff-level roles at larger tech firms.
iGaming Industry Context: SOFTSWISS operates in the iGaming/online casino space — a high-availability, compliance-heavy domain that demands serious infrastructure resilience. Experience here translates well to fintech, adtech, or other latency-sensitive industries.
Compensation Reality: No salary is disclosed. Market benchmarks for Senior DevOps/SRE in remote-first European companies (especially Poland-headquartered) typically range from $60,000–$90,000 annually for B2B contracts or local equivalents. If offered a local Polish contract, ensure the rate reflects remote/international market standards.
Green Flags:
- Genuine full-time remote with flexible hours — rare at senior level in some regions
- Mental health programme signals awareness of engineer burnout
- Conference participation and internal workshops support continuous learning
- International team suggests diverse collaboration experience
Watch Points:
- Russian language requirement (B1+) narrows the candidate pool and may reflect CIS-region team composition — confirm team distribution for timezone fit
- No mention of on-call structure or incident response compensation — worth clarifying given the monitoring/alerting responsibilities
Headquarters: Nowy Rynek Poznań, 61-579 Poland
