• Perform routine and emergency updates as needed
• Actively monitor the state of our systems
• Respond promptly to alerts and on-call phone calls
• Quickly mitigate site outages to minimize downtime
• Develop further and optimize our work processes

• You have an exceptional drive and a very high level of initiative
• You are highly flexible with an entrepreneurial mindset to solve problems
• You have a strong background in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience. A degree is a plus, but we value skills more than titles
• You have strong Linux skills
• You have experience with the whole networking stack and are able to set up firewalls and load-balancers
• You have practical expertise with Docker and orchestration with Ansible and/or TerraForm
• You are able to read and comprehend code in Rust or Golang
• You are able to develop small tools in a programming language of your choice (preferably Golang, Rust or NodeJS)
• You can design and critically think about the architecture of projects
• You are fluent in English (German is a plus)

What we offer

• A fun, friendly, and close-knit crew

• Support for furthering your self-development, skills, and career
• An opportunity to work and learn alongside leading professionals, teams, and projects in a cutting-edge industry
