Summary

Join a Series B company revolutionizing air freight and logistics. As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will manage and improve the company's cloud infrastructure, primarily on GCP and Hetzner, working closely with software engineers. You will operate and maintain Kubernetes clusters, infrastructure components, and dashboards, while also focusing on security improvements and cost reduction. The role requires at least two years of experience as a cloud infrastructure engineer and strong communication skills. You will report directly to the CTO and work remotely, with regular in-person meetings. The company offers a range of benefits, including a home office budget, team trips, unlimited co-working options, mental health care, and generous paid time off.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience as cloud infrastructure engineer with one of the major cloud providers
• A strong growth mindset. You are biased to action, resilient and a self-starter who is excited about tackling new challenges and always keeps the user in mind
• Exceptional written and verbal skills with fluency in English (Bonus points for love of emojis 😎). You’re a great communicator and easily build relationships across internal stakeholders in a remote-first setup
• An ability to embrace uncertainty and display a high level of adaptability
• A willingness to learn and openness to accepting feedback, generously giving their own in return
• Flexibility to run deployments involving downtime outside of core operation hours

Responsibilities

• Assess security risks and actively increase security of our operations by thinking about refined approaches to authorization, network segmentation or encryption (during transport and at rest)
• Identify and implement improvements across our infrastructure stack. More infrastructure as code, better alerting, reduction of cloud cost

Benefits
