Senior DevOps Engineer; Azure

This role has a firm timezone requirement — you must operate within CET (UTC+1) ± 3 hours. That means your workable window spans roughly UTC-2 to UTC+4. This covers a wide swath of Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East, but rules out Southeast Asia, the Americas, and East Asia as bases for this role.

Popular nomad destinations within range include:

• Lisbon, Portugal – UTC+0/+1; excellent nomad infrastructure, affordable (€1,500–2,200/mo for comfortable living), and covered by the D8 Digital Nomad Visa.
• Tbilisi, Georgia – UTC+4; at the very edge of the window; very low cost of living (~€900–1,400/mo), and citizens of many countries can stay up to 365 days visa-free.
• Tallinn, Estonia – UTC+2/+3; EU-based, startup-friendly culture, and home to the original Digital Nomad Visa program in Europe (~€1,800–2,500/mo).

Schedule structure: The role promises consistent 8-hour working days, which provides predictable time-blocking for travel planning. Up to 24 flex days per year is a strong perk for taking extended trips without pay loss.

No travel stipend or coworking allowance is explicitly mentioned, but Proxify's monthly payment model means you'll have a reliable income to budget your own nomad setup.
