Backend Software Engineer – Kubernetes Service, Orchestration team

3 days ago

Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland UpCloud Full time

At UpCloud you'll be literally building the cloud

Usually, the cloud is just on someone else's computer. But at UpCloud, it is ours - and we want to make it the best possible. Our Cloud is a fabric of thousands of high-end server computers, network gear, and storage devices, all woven together to deliver the best performance.

As we're growing, we need a new teammate to join our Orchestration team, either from our office in Helsinki or fully remotely within the EU

In this position, you'll directly contribute to the success of our Managed Kubernetes Service. You'll be part of a tightly-knit team of experienced developers who built the product from the ground up, now enabling our customers to run container workloads in UpCloud, through new and more sophisticated features.

As a Backend Software Engineer, you're experienced in understanding engineering problems, exploring approaches, and proactively contributing and refining those with your other colleagues. You're constructive in your communication, and you feel comfortable in receiving and giving feedback, even when there are different points of view. You mentor other colleagues, when necessary, while working together on what you're building.

To be successful in this role, you have…

  • Experience on backend Software development in Go

  • Gone beyond being just a regular Kubernetes user: you've been leveraging it - even better if you've developed it for production

  • True motivation to grow your knowledge deeper into Kubernetes and containers engineering

Previous knowledge in one or more of the following aspects, is a nice bonus:

  • Lifecycle management (for example certificates and cluster upgrades)

  • Kubernetes operators and working with custom resource definitions (CRDs)

  • Advanced container networking (we use Cilium)

  • Building/creating/designing (HTTP) API service(s) using Go

What does a day in this team look like?

Your work will consist of developing key Kubernetes backend components, such as cluster orchestration and infrastructure provisioning, and integrating the product with our internal systems. We prefer to build our features with user-centered design, and our work is prioritised based on our customer needs, with their engagement & based on their feedback.

You discuss with the team and the Product Manager, which relevant use cases from our customers we may prioritise. You research and build proof of concepts with your peers, exploring the approach you choose to those cases. Once you demo and validate it, together you'll develop the solution in sprints, till it is in production-ready state.

At UpCloud we'll provide you an easy-going environment that promotes work-life balance and self-development. You'll be encouraged to experiment, fail, learn, succeed amazingly, be brave to propose new things, agree, and disagree. That's how we like to work.

If you would like to join our journey to never become yet another cloud provider, please get in touch using the 'apply for this job' button. We review all applications, and we do get back to all our candidates. Cos that's just how we roll
