[Hiring][Remote][EU][Freelance] AWS DevOps - Maintenance & On-Call
Hi all — we’re HelpMyCash, a Barcelona-based financial comparison platform operating since 2010, and we’re looking for a senior freelance AWS DevOps/SRE profile for ongoing infrastructure maintenance, incident support, and operational reliability.
This is a stable production platform, not a greenfield rebuild. We’re looking for someone who can act as our primary DevOps/SRE operational point of contact within a clear freelance retainer, SLA, and on-call setup. The goal is to keep things reliable, handle maintenance, triage incidents correctly when they happen, and act as our operational safety net.
Engagement
- Freelance / contractor
- Remote, EU preferred
- Must be reachable during Spanish business hours
- Light ongoing retainer around 4h/week
- Larger infrastructure tasks quoted separately
- Critical on-call coverage paid at a premium
- Rate: from €50/h, negotiable depending on experience, availability, SLA, and on-call setup
What we need
- Monitor platform health and triage alerts
- Handle routine maintenance: restarts, certificates, patches, minor fixes
- Respond to incidents during Spanish business hours under a clear SLA
- Best-effort response to critical issues outside business hours with premium compensation
- Identify infrastructure risks before they become outages
- Coordinate larger infrastructure interventions when needed
- Advise us on infrastructure decisions when needed
This is not an application-development role. You may need to read logs or code to determine whether something is app-side or infra-side, but you won’t be expected to write product code.
