We’re one of the fastest-growing startups in the Nordics, working with huge, complex challenges to make the lives of our customers simpler and easier. Few (if any) in the world have truly cracked the code for online grocery logistics — but we’re getting close and with high speed. Want to join us?
As a Platform Engineer you will be part of the core team building out our cloud platform Nube, which empowers our product teams by providing flexible self-service interfaces to their everyday infrastructure problems.
In recent months, the team has built the first iteration of our Kubernetes-based platform and is now working closely with product teams to bring all our production services onboard in a safe way from our legacy on-premise infrastructure. In the time ahead, we will be investing heavily in both bringing new capabilities to the platform, and in scaling the solutions and services we already have to suit a rapidly growing engineering organization.
What you'll do
- Provide a tailored runtime for our application containers, and cultivate a golden path for supporting services.
- Ensure our product teams have great common tooling in place for things like continuous deployment, authentication/authorization, and service communication.
- Raise the bar on security in our infrastructure, both in the systems we build and in our culture.
- Participate in our on-call rotation to ensure critical systems are operating normally.
- Platform Engineer is one of two roles within our infrastructure engineering area, the other being Reliability Engineer. We encourage our engineers to move between these roles over time.
