Desired Skills and Experience

  • You maintain and improve our deployment pipelines, so the developers can smoothly and reliably release their applications.
  • You create and maintain the “infrastructure as code“  for our AWS cloud environment.
  • You support developers in deploying their applications.
  • You experiment with new technology to research future use.
  • You automate recurring tasks to make your job (and that of the developers) easier.
  • You like to be challenged. You see the obstacles to get to a cloud-based infrastructure as an opportunity to learn.
  • You share knowledge with your Tech Development colleagues to make them self-sufficient. Better teach a man to fish than to give him one, right?
  • You stay cool when things break. You search for the root cause and don’t stop until you find it. Once you do, you make sure this can’t fail again.
  • You don’t wait for things to come to you. You go out and get them. You’re self motivated, communicative and get things done.
  • You work together, because you like to learn from your colleagues. You coach your team members and provide them with honest feedback.
  • You have your own opinion and you’re able to voice it in a constructive discussion.
  • You are smart and have some way to prove it.
  • You are awesome with Linux, Windows or both! Since we have .NET, Delphi and PHP stacks we can use your experience.
  • You are strong with configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef, or Ansible.
  • You believe in configuration management - if it’s not managed, it’s not real.
  • You know scripting and have development experience in Python, Ruby, Javascript or plain old Bash.
  • You “automate all the things” from bootstrap to backup.
  • You have a DevOps mindset with a strong drive to get things done. You automate. You collaborate. You communicate.
  • You have experience working with CloudFormation. Certification is a plus, otherwise we’ll make sure you get it.
  • You have done similar work before, at least for 3 years.
  • You think big and start small. In the end, it’s about getting things done.
  • You take pride in what you do, but welcome feedback.
  • You are adaptable and don’t mind stepping outside of your comfort zone.
  • You get bonus points if you have experience working with Scrum and if you have experience working with other cloud providers. You also get bonus points for writing a nice cover letter, you would make team lead Sander Knape very happy with that!
  • You are willing to relocate to Rotterdam or somewhere nearby.
  • Money.

  • 25 leave days. As long as you’ll promise to come back.
  • Travel allowance and a retirement plan.
  • An office at the best possible location. It’s only a short stumble away from Rotterdam Central Station. Or a 2-minute walk.
  • Relocation assistance, from a to z (if you live abroad).
  • Dutch language courses. To help you become a Rotterdammert.
  • An international work environment. With colleagues from places like Belgium, Spain, Australia, Mexico, and Italy.
