## Job description

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. We work from home about 90% of the time (and sometimes abroad!), but we enjoy meeting each other in the office in Utrecht/Amsterdam every now and then.

What you bring:

- 4+ years of experience setting up, maintaining, and monitoring production infrastructure;
- Proactive and pragmatic in prioritising and solving the needs of our development team;
- Familiar with the main cloud provider products, preferably in AWS;
- Familiar with professional software engineering practices (version control, merge requests, testing, code standards, CI/CD, dev/staging/prod environments);
- Like to empower people and enable teams to do their work;
- Passion about one of the following (the more the better!): developer tooling, serverless and event-driven architectures, cloud-everything, building future-proof solutions, saving our climate, scale-up life;
- Near native fluency in English

Why you will love working here:

- Grow your career as we scale
- Pension Contribution of 4% with an employer sponsored retirement plan
- Public transport allowance via NS business card
- Employee Referral Incentives up to €3,000 for a successful referral
- 27 Vacation Days to rest and recharge
- Remote Work Flexibility up to 2 months/year (with manager approval)
- Structured Onboarding & Mentorship support
- Social Events like Sensorfact Week & team dinners
- Office Perks like unlimited coffee, snacks, and free Friday lunch
