What will you be doing?

As a DevOps engineer, you will collaborate with 2 DevOps engineers in your team, providing support to our product teams. You will assist them with technical issues related to websites or the underlying infrastructure. Keywords for your responsibilities include optimization and automation. We are constantly working on optimizing our websites, platform, and the infrastructure that supports everything. We expect you to stay updated on the latest developments in security and other DevOps-related matters and assess whether the latest trends are relevant to our company.

Our main focus at the moment is on improving our platform in the cloud (Google Cloud Platform), documenting our infrastructure as code using Terraform, and facilitating insights into our Kubernetes cluster.

Who are you?

Our ideal candidate has at least 3 years of experience as a DevOps engineer or a similar role (such as Systems Engineer) and is eager to further advance in this field. Ideally, you have knowledge of the following products and/or mastery of the following techniques:

• Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine)
• Docker
• GCP (Google Cloud Platform)
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Terraform
• Linux (mainly Ubuntu/Debian)
• Bash and at least one other scripting or programming language

But most importantly, we value your willingness to continuously expand your knowledge and expertise. We cannot expect you to master everything we apply.

Although we are growing significantly as a company, we operate in small teams where we try to switch quickly and engage in a lot of collaboration. This provides a high degree of freedom in the way we work. You should be comfortable with this way of working: communicating with your team members, providing input, engaging in discussions and collaborations with other engineers and product teams, ensuring smooth software deployment. Weekly meetings for an optimal workflow are not uncommon, allowing you the space to shape your own work method.
