The ‘formal description’ is that you’re responsible for a stable infrastructure in which we run our customer environments and that you make it possible for the organization to grow continuously. However, we’re not really formal. So how would we explain what we do?  Well, the Operations team works with cutting edge technologies, and that’s pretty cool. We host over 3000 customer environments which are updated twice a week and need 24/7 uptime. That’s why we keep on challenging ourselves to see if we can go faster or make improvements.

Tech Stack
Do you have relevant technical experience? Then this list will give you an idea of the tools we work with. We use these technologies on Windows and Linux servers, MS SQL databases, firewalls and VPN servers. But, it’s not about what we currently use. It’s about a curious mind and an abstract way of thinking.

With 6 colleagues in total, we’re not a big team. We are supported by 3 SaaS support colleagues. We are social technicians with a big love for what we do and find it important to be open to each other, which also means that we give feedback. In our team, we can say everything and we always listen to each other.

We work according to the agile principles. You’re probably familiar with them. There’s always something to do when it comes to maintenance, improvements and working smarter. So, we as a team determine what has high priority in our backlog. During our 2-week sprints, we deliver what we’ve committed to. Retrospectives keep us on our toes and show us what improvements can be made.

We expect you, and the team, to be playful with technology. Mind you: playful, but responsible. In the interview, we would like to hear what you’ve figured out and implemented tech-wise in your previous or current job.

• At least 5 years of experience as a Cloud Engineer.
• You enjoy the complexity of SaaS.
• You believe in teamwork and clear communication as much as we do.
