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.

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 G

• 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
