Position
At UpCloud you’ll be literally building the cloud.
Sometimes, cloud technologies can be offered as a patchwork of ready-made solutions. Here, however, you'll be working with something that we've built from ground up. You'll know exactly what you're dealing with and you'll have an impact on how to make it even better.
You'll be part of a cross-functional team of experienced developers that strive for agility in software development. Apart from that, you'll find yourself in an environment where healthy conflicts and technical discussions are encouraged and where things are done our own way instead of looking at how others are doing them. Our existing infrastructure is built in Go, Perl, and Python and even if you aren't a master in all of them, you shouldn't hesitate to learn.
Your work will consist of a healthy combination of supporting and refactoring existing infrastructure and building new features and services. The areas you'd be working on will range from block storage to network connectivity to virtualization development.
This role can be performed from our new office in the heart of Helsinki or fully remotely anywhere in Europe. If you're living outside Europe and you would want to relocate to Helsinki, you are welcome to apply too.
Your qualification
Our view is that to be successful in this role you should have experience working with Linux administration and possess knowledge and expertise in the following areas:
- Solid agile software development experience, preferably with Go
- Experience working with scripting languages, especially Perl
- Strong knowledge in storage and network connectivity
- Strong knowledge in virtualization and at least familiarity with containerization
- Experience in applying CI/CD and other automation tools
What we offer
- You'll find an easy-going environment that promotes work-life balance and self-development
- You'll be encouraged to experiment, fail, learn, succeed amazingly, be brave to propose new things, agree and disagree. That’s how you like to work
- While the highest possible level of comfort and growth never co-exist, you'll see the results and impact of your work on a daily basis
- Devices of your choice
- Yearly equipment and training budget
- Flexible, remote-friendly working hours
- Offices in the heart of Helsinki and Singapore
- Team lunches and company parties
- Yearly company retreat
