Job description

Work with Purpose - your work has a real impact on patients and healthcare professionals in the medical field.
Corporate Culture - we embrace structures that foster high performance and strong team dynamics. Our interactions are characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and recognition. We work together towards common goals and expect the same from you.
Flexibility - would you like to pick up your child from daycare? Do you enjoy exercising during lunchtime? We support you in achieving that balance.

Tech stack:

Backend code. We're a Go shop. We are big fans of the limitations of the language that enables everyone to write similar code, without the stress of code style debates.
Infrastructure. We try to keep simple architecture which is cloud provider agnostic - a set of web servers running in orchestrated containers, a managed PostgreSQL database and a managed redis cache. We have a hybrid cloud setup. Our production infra is on T-Systems and non-production is on AWS.
Monitoring. We have tried a lot of solutions but decided to go all-in with Datadog (metrics, logs, security, and tracing through APM).
Frontend code. Our frontend apps are built in React and React Native. We use GraphQL to communicate between the apps and the backend.
AWS and Openstack based cloud (basically postgres + k8s)
Github Enterprise Cloud
CircleCI (moving to Github Actions)
Dockerhub and ECR
Datadog
Snowflake

This is how you will make an impact as a Junior DevOps / Platform Engineer:

Enhance knowledge sharing and reduce key-person dependency within the platform team.
Improve platform security, observability, and compliance with European regulations and standards (C5, GDPR, ISO 27001) to meet the demands of the healthcare sector.
Manage and scale platform-related workloads to support the company’s growth and increasing operational demands.
Design and architect an efficient, maintainable, and scalable platform that supports the product’s evolution and operational excellence.

Some projects you'll work on as a Junior DevOps / Platform Engineer:

Hybrid cloud setup:

We migrated to a hybrid, multi cloud infrastructure for legal reasons, where we may need to have one local cloud provider.

We have picked open source technologies (Terraform / Kubernetes / OpenStack) for ease of migration.

Continuous integration and deployment:

Automatically flag commits which introduced regressions
Automate the deployment of our Embedded Analytics solution (Quicksight)
Automate the deployment and release of native applications

Access management:

Remove all password authentication to connect to servers (SSO for devs)
Automatically rotate any server credentials accesses
Provide the right access roles for any user

Platform:

Work on the clients for our cache / databases (golang)
Implement & use tracing over our platform

Security:

Setup application security monitoring & WAF access control
Conformity to our ISO 27001 certification

Monitoring:

We want to sleep at night and on weekends (and currently doing so) - for that reason, we believe in automation. The idea is to build and use tools that do the work for us, and notify us when something goes south - it doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's better to be prepared.

BI stack:

We have a mature BI infrastructure which connects multiple sources to our ELT pipeline (Stitch, DBT, Snowflake) and finally Looker for visualisation.
