Ready to scale your career in a high-growth scale up where your results drive real world change? We’re Sensorfact, Europe’s #1 smart monitoring platform for the industry, on a mission to make industry smarter, cleaner, and more efficient. Every day, our technology helps thousands of manufacturers cut energy waste, reduce costs, and lower carbon emissions through intelligent data insights and automation. Today, we’ve joined forces with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation. This partnership has propelled us onto the world stage, enabling us to expand rapidly and help more businesses optimize their energy efficiency, cut costs, and make a positive impact on the planet. Apply today and help shape a smarter and more sustainable industry. What you will do: - You’ll support our development team with solid tools, automations and processes for CI/CD, testing and deployment. - You’ll manage our AWS infrastructure and monitor its performance, making sure it’s ready to scale as needed, it’s properly secured and costs are predictable. - We are upgrading significant parts of our infra to be ready for the next level. You’ll be working with state of the art tools (e.g. Kubernetes, infra-as-code, managed services) on a modern cloud architecture. - You’ll interact with developers, data engineers and scientists and product managers to make sure your solutions are solving actual problems. - You’ll join a small DevOps team, complementing the other three DevOps engineers and picking up projects independently. - You work together with the other developers by sharing knowledge, discussing tech solutions, improving our own tools and processes and reviewing code. - Being part of a scale-up, you are proactive and pragmatic in prioritizing and solving the needs of our development team. As we are scaling up our platform with a small team, we leverage new technologies to keep performance and productivity. - Our core platform is based on a microservices architecture using Node.js as the runtime environment platform. These microservices are deployed in Kubernetes - EKS (AWS is our cloud infrastructure provider). - We have several databases, mostly managed (RDS Postgres, Altinity Clickhouse). - We use Terraform/Terragrunt for Infrastructure as Code. - Some external managed services, such as Aiven Kafka and Altinity Clickhouse. - We use MQTT/EMQX for messaging and real-time communication - Observability stack via Grafana/Prometheus/Loki/Tempo. - Gitlab CI and ArgoCD for CI/CD. There is no need to be an expert in every technology mentioned here, but transparency is another of our values, so we want you to know what you are applying. How we do it We do sort-of-scrum with 2-week sprints, sprint planning, retrospectives and daily stand-ups. We keep track of things using Miro, Linear, Google Drive and Outline, and we stay in touch with each other over Slack. The course is determined by goals, set collaboratively by business, data science, development and product teams. Developers are involved in the entire process: from ideation and refinement to concrete project plans. We have a professional culture of testing and code reviews.
