- Build automation tools and solutions to improve system observability, availability, and operational efficiency.
- Investigate and resolve complex technical incidents; act swiftly to maintain platform stability.
- Own performance monitoring and capacity planning across a large fleet of bare-metal systems.
- Drive infrastructure improvements by bridging gaps between hardware and software teams.
- Explore and implement emerging technologies to maintain best-in-class system performance.
- Take initiative on infrastructure projects and contribute to long-term architectural decisions.
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 6 years of experience managing large-scale Linux/UNIX server environments in a performance-critical context.
- Strong understanding of Linux kernel internals and system-level debugging.
- Proficient in Python and passionate about automation and tooling development.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code , preferably with Ansible .
- Comfortable in fast-paced, high-performance computing environments.
- Strong grasp of networking , virtualization technologies, and hardware-software integration.
- Analytical problem-solver who thrives in complex, dynamic environments.
- Clear communicator, capable of articulating design choices and technical trade-offs.
- Naturally curious, with a proactive and adaptable mindset—comfortable with frequent change.
What You’ll Get
- Fully covered relocation assistance, including sign on bonus, relocation cost coverage and an apartment close to the city centre and office provided for the first few months.
- Full Visa sponsorship, covering costs and logistics of acquiring one.
- Opportunity to work in Amsterdam with highly skilled engineers from more than 40 nationalities.
- Collaborative and high-performance culture focused on solving complex technical challenges.
- A performance-based bonus structure tied to collective success, not individual competition.
- Fully-paid health insurance and commuting benefits.
- On-site perks including breakfast, lunch, and access to fitness and wellness programs.
- Ongoing training opportunities and support for attending technical conferences.
- Relocation support and visa sponsorship where required.
- A culture of inclusion that values diversity of thought and experience.
