Senior TechOps Specialist

Ready to own it, build it, and grow it?

About us:

We are Publitas! We’re a remote-first, fast-growing SaaS company helping brands turn static content into digital discovery experiences that drive results.

We’re not about busywork, hierarchy, or hand-holding. We hire sharp minds, trust them fully, and measure success by real results, not noise. If you thrive in autonomy, challenge, and high ownership, you’ll love it here.

This role is for you if you… 

• Get excited by taking ownership and figuring things out proactively

• Thrive in a remote, async, fast-paced environment

• Are striving to deliver impact, not just running tasks

• Think in systems but execute with creativity

• Are direct, collaborative, and have a growth mindset

• Know the value of an old-school system admin from back in the days

This role is NOT for you if you…

• Need layers of process or someone to constantly tell you what to do

• Prefer “business as usual” over change

• Want a team where mediocre is okay

• Have never worked remotely and think async means “lonely”

• Are waiting for permission instead of taking initiative

The work you’ll do…

As a Senior System Administrator at Publitas, you’ll play a key role in strengthening and scaling the backbone of our global SaaS operations.

You’ll bring deep technical knowledge, structured process thinking, and strong project management skills to a high-velocity environment - where priorities shift fast, and alignment is everything.

You will:

• Own and manage our hybrid and cloud-agnostic environments (AWS, GCP), ensuring reliability, performance, and security.

• Drive operational excellence by improving task flows, managing priorities, and aligning stakeholders across SRE, IT, and Security and Development/Platform teams.

• Be the SPOC (Single Point of Contact) for internal and third-line operational requests, ensuring timely follow-ups and clear communication.

• Execute hands-on technical work, from SaaS software management, monitoring, access management and general administration.

• Implement and refine processes that make our operations predictable and scalable - reducing reactive firefighting and improving structure.

• Contribute to strategic improvements, from researching scalable architecture patterns to preparing systems for M&A-readiness.

• Balance quick execution and long-term improvement, ensuring our infrastructure grows as fast as our business.

What you bring…

• 5-7+ years of technical experience in system administration or large-scale SaaS operations.

• Deep understanding of system internals - OS, networks, architecture, and debugging.

• Proven experience managing cloud-agnostic environments (AWS, GCP, or similar).

• Strong project management skills - you can manage pipelines, coordinate stakeholders, and keep execution on track.

• A process-driven mindset, focused on predictability, structure, and continuous improvement.

• The ability to work autonomously, make sound technical decisions, and communicate clearly across distributed teams.

What We Provide to Help You Win…

• A competitive salary

• 25 vacation days + your local national holidays

• A top-tier MacBook and remote-ready gear

• Monthly wellness budget to invest in your health

• Co-Working allowance

• Events, training, or courses that directly and primarily contribute to your work at Publitas

• Free books on Kindle and Audible

• Free Publitas Swag (merchandise)

How to Apply…

We don’t ask for CVs or cover letters. Why? Because they rarely tell us who you are or what you’re truly great at.

Instead, we ask smart questions and give you a chance to show us what you’d bring to the role.

No fluff. Just real insight into what it’s like to work together.
