Junior DevOps/Platform Engineer

Summary

Join Recare as a Junior DevOps / Platform Engineer and contribute to a platform that impacts patients and healthcare professionals. You'll work in a remote-first environment with flexible hours and a supportive culture. Your responsibilities will include enhancing knowledge sharing, improving platform security and compliance, managing workloads, and designing a scalable platform. You'll also work on projects like hybrid cloud setup, continuous integration and deployment, access management, platform development, security, monitoring, and BI stack. Recare offers benefits like an Edenred card, professional development opportunities, an extra day off on your birthday, and a flexible work environment.

Requirements

• You have a solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including routing, IPAM, the difference between switches and gateways, and are comfortable discussing concepts like "autonomous systems" and the OSI model
• You are familiar with the most common Layer 7 protocols such as SSH, DNS, HTTP(S), IMAP, SMTP, etc
• You possess experience in at least a couple of programming languages, with Python, TypeScript, and Bash being the most commonly used in our environment. Experience with other languages, such as Rust or C, is also valuable
• You have hands-on experience with containers, understanding their deployment and management
• You bring practical experience with public cloud platforms, preferably AWS, although experience with other cloud providers will also be valuable due to the similarities
• You have a preference for writing over talking, with the ability to create clear, reusable, and minimalistic texts, such as documentation, post-mortems, and work instructions
• You have experience with ISO 27001 audits or similar information security attestations and are familiar with the standards and processes related to compliance

Responsibilities

• Enhance knowledge sharing and reduce key-person dependency within the platform team
• Improve platform security, observability, and compliance with European regulations and standards (C5, GDPR, ISO 27001) to meet the demands of the healthcare sector
• Manage and scale platform-related workloads to support the company’s growth and increasing operational demands
• Design and architect an efficient, maintainable, and scalable platform that supports the product’s evolution and operational excellence
• Hybrid cloud setup: We migrated to a hybrid, multi cloud infrastructure for legal reasons, where we may need to have one local cloud provider. We have picked open source technologies (Terraform / Kubernetes / OpenStack) for ease of migration
• Continuous integration and deployment: Automatically flag commits which introduced regressions Automate the deployment of our Embedded Analytics solution (Quicksight) Automate the deployment and release of native applications
• Access management: Remove all password authentication to connect to servers (SSO for devs) Automatically rotate any server credentials accesses Provide the right access roles for any user
• Platform: Work on the clients for our cache / databases (golang) Implement & use tracing over our platform
• Security: Setup application security monitoring & WAF access control Conformity to our ISO 27001 certification
• Monitoring: We want to sleep at night and on weekends (and currently doing so) - for that reason, we believe in automation. The idea is to build and use tools that do the work for us, and notify us when something goes south - it doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's better to be prepared
• BI stack: We have a mature BI infrastructure which connects multiple sources to our ELT pipeline (Stitch, DBT, Snowflake) and finally Looker for visualisation

Benefits

• Edenred card - which you can use in the way that suits you best
• Professional Development - your professional development is important to us. We are dedicated to your success and job satisfaction
• Extra Day Off on Your Birthday - so you can celebrate with your loved ones
