DevOps Engineer / System Administrator
Hello. We apologize for the use of Russian in the project description. The entire technical stack, Master Checklist, and communication with the current development team were conducted in that language. To maintain the accuracy of terminology and the efficiency of the tech lead's work, the description is published in the original language of the documentation. Thank you for your understanding.
Project Description:
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to finalize the infrastructure and set up the CI/CD pipeline for the P2P platform — CharterBnB.com. The work is done in conjunction with the Tech Lead, who conducts the final Code Review.
Area of Responsibility:
- Technical Stability: execution of a range of tasks according to the specifications.
- Access Control: implementation of Zero Trust security protocols and SSH authorization.
- Deployment Guarantee: ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the CI/CD pipeline and database synchronization via WPMerge.io.
Technical Stack:
Ubuntu 22.04, CloudPanel, Nginx, Redis, PHP 8.3, GitHub Actions, WPMerge.io, Cloudflare, Sentry, UpdraftPlus.
Current Hardware (Production):
- CPU: 6 Cores (AMD Ryzen 9950X).
- RAM: 8 GB.
- Storage: 480 GB NVMe.
- Network: 10 Gbps port.
Your Key Engineering Challenges:
- CI/CD & Repository: Setting up GitHub Actions for automatic deployment to Staging and Live with protection for the main branch.
- Synchronization (WPMerge.io): Deploying a fault-tolerant architecture for the parallel work of multiple teams without the risk of overwriting database data.
- Performance Tuning: Optimizing the Nginx + Redis + PHP 8.3 stack on CloudPanel (Ubuntu 22.04). The goal is TTFB < 300ms.
- Automated Testing: Deploying an environment for Smoke tests (Ghost Inspector, Mailtrap) before each release.
- Security & Hardening: Configuring WAF (Wordfence), SSH access via keys, and Zero Trust protocols.
Team Interaction:
- Reporting to Tech Lead: Code Review of all your configurations and deployment scripts.
- Ensuring Frontend: preparing the Staging 1/2 environment and Git access (without direct access to the Live server).
- Data Synchronization: maintaining the stability of WPMerge.io for the content and SEO teams.
- Transfer and Cleanup: direct transfer of keys to the Owner and complete removal of temporary sessions/accounts upon completion.
Conditions:
- Payment: Fixed for the entire scope "turnkey".
- Format: Strictly through the Freelancehunt Safe.
Our Rules of Engagement (Master Standard SSoT):
- GitHub First: No edits via FTP. Only Atomic Commits, PR, and Branch Protection.
- Step 0: Any work in the sandbox starts with "Pull from Live" via WPMerge.io.
- Responsibility: We value autonomy. You choose architectural solutions, but you are responsible for the outcome.
Details: A complete technical specification, detailed Master Checklist, and access will be provided after a short technical interview. We need an engineer who values order and discipline.
Looking forward to having you on board!

Client's review of cooperation with Mykyta S.
DevOps Engineer / System AdministratorBrilliant work. Throughout my experience, I have rarely encountered such a professional, quick, and insightful specialist. Mykyta does not just mindlessly close tasks; he deeply understands the essence and does everything at the highest level. No bureaucracy or time-wasting — everything is clear, structured, and to the point. But what is especially valuable is the absolutely adequate, human attitude towards the project and the Client, which is now a huge rarity. Against the backdrop of many others, working with Mykyta is simply a breath of fresh air. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend collaborating.
Freelancer's review of cooperation with Maryna V.
DevOps Engineer / System AdministratorWorking with Marina V. on the CharterBnB project was truly interesting and productive. It wasn't a simple website or a one-time setup, but a full-fledged serious DevOps project for a large WordPress platform in the yacht charter marketplace niche. There were many important technical tasks involved: setting up server infrastructure, optimizing Nginx/PHP-FPM, Redis, MySQL, Cloudflare caching, staging/live environments, CI/CD through GitHub Actions, WordPress security, Wordfence, backups, monitoring through Sentry, Telegram alerts, email/DKIM/SPF/DMARC, recovery tests, documentation, and handover.
The project was very intensive and technically interesting: it required not just "setting something up," but building a proper production-ready process, where there is staging, live, deployment control, protection, backups, caching, post-release checks, and clear documentation for further support. I particularly appreciated that Marina understood the value of quality infrastructure, was involved in the process, provided feedback, helped with access, and made decisions on important issues.
Marina V. proved to be a reasonable, interested, and responsible client. You can discuss technical details with her, suggest improvements, and move the project towards a more stable and professional architecture. It was a pleasure to work on a task where not only quick results matter, but also reliability, security, performance, and long-term maintainability of the project.
A very cool order and a strong project. Thank you for your trust, for the communication, and for the opportunity to work on such a complex infrastructure. I definitely recommend Marina V. as a client for serious technical and DevOps tasks. I would be happy to continue our collaboration in the future.

1045 7 0 Hello! Your approach to development through SSoT and Branch Protection is the only correct way for a stable product. I have experience building complex systems (my project is integraljobs.cz) and clearly understand the responsibility for data integrity when teams work in parallel.
My strategy for addressing your challenges:
GitHub Actions & Deploy: I will set up atomic deployments on Staging/Live with complete branch isolation and automatic execution of Smoke tests (Ghost Inspector).
Performance Optimization: Tuning the stack Nginx + Redis + PHP 8.3 for stable TTFB < 300ms on your hardware (Ryzen 9950X).
Data Sync (WPMerge.io): I will implement a "Pull from Live" protocol and set up conflict-free database synchronization for SEO and content managers.
…
Security Hardening: Implementation of Zero Trust protocols, closing SSH only with keys, and configuring Cloudflare WAF.
Communication: I am ready for thorough Code Review from the Tech Lead. All documentation and commits will be clear and structured.
Why me:
I use AI agents to check configurations for security and quickly write automation scripts. This ensures the absence of the "human factor" in critical nodes of the infrastructure.
I am ready to discuss the technical specifications and transition to Safe. I guarantee complete handover of keys and Cleanup by the end!
