Full Stack Developer

At UpCloud, you’ll be literally building the cloud. Particularly in this role, you’ll be touching everything our customers see - that is, more than 10,000 people worldwide.

We’re on a mission to be the number #1 European cloud platform, built on performance, reliability, and trust. While data sovereignty has become a hot topic in the EU, we can proudly say that we’ve been mastering it since 2011.

Sometimes, cloud technologies can be offered as a patchwork of ready-made solutions. At UpCloud, however, you'll be working with something that we've built from the ground up! Our existing infrastructure relies on open-source built with Go & Perl, with a heavy emphasis on a distributed microservices architecture.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer to join our team responsible for our Core product, preferably with a specialisation in Compute.

In this role, you will:

• Work as part of an experienced team focused on our core software: computation, storages, and networks.

• Improve and further develop the provisioning and components behind our entire cloud stack.

• Focus especially on our Compute stack - including VM provisioning, CPU, and GPU.

• Enhance and upgrade our internal integrations and collaborate with our other development teams.

• Participate in building our next level of cloud offering, like improved storages and compute plans.

You will need to have:

• Skills and background in full-stack or backend development: our stack is Perl and Golang. Knowledge of these or similar languages is a must-have.

• Understanding and skills with frontend development. Our stack is React, TypeScript, and Next.js: working with them is, of course, even better!

• Knowledge and practice with API development and modern practices.

• A proactive work mindset will give you plenty of freedom and responsibility.

We also appreciate (read: not compulsory but a nice bonus):

• Understanding and skills with virtualisation, Linux servers, bare-metal, or large-scale systems

• Knowledge of hypervisors, the Linux networking stack, and virtual storage solutions

• Understanding of the Linux platform (Kernel parameters, initrd, systemd)

• Experience in applying CI/CD and other automation tooling, as well as Git.

• Experience working with distributed architecture and building microservices.

• Understanding of customer expectations for cloud infrastructure.

You can work from our office in the heart of Helsinki or fully remotely anywhere in the EU.
