WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The Open Home Foundation is looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer based in Europe to join our Back-office team. This team is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Foundation, offering support to the rest of teams to ensure the proper functioning of our entire organization.
In this role, you’d be the primary owner for the Cloud Infrastructure at the Open Home Foundation. This includes the systems that the OHF projects rely on, like the cloud services needed for Home Assistant’s account-linking (which authenticates local Home Assistant to 3rd party cloud systems) and iOS/Android Push notifications, or the software we use to run our community forums.

ABOUT US

The Open Home Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland, with the objective of fighting for the fundamental principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. It does this by supporting the development of open-source projects, and open connectivity and communication standards.

A big part of this is Home Assistant, the biggest open-source project in number of contributors, but the Open Home Foundation also owns or collaborates with other projects important to promoting privacy, choice, and sustainability in the smart home, like:

• Open hardware tools (e.g., ESPHome, ESP Web Tools)
• Open standards (e.g., Python Matter Server, Z-Wave JS, ZigPy, BTHome, Improv Wi-Fi)
• Open voice (e.g., Rhasspy, Wyoming Protocol, Piper)
• Music Assistant

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure and services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, primarily with Terraform on AWS
• Automate deployment pipelines and operational tasks to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability of applications and services
• Architect, refactor, and manage highly available and scalable systems in containerized environments (e.g., Docker) with supporting services like Redis.
• Administer and maintain critical operational tools and platforms, including Discourse forums and other core system services
• Collaborate with our Home Assistant and Ecosystem teams on the development of any cloud-dependent features inherent to their projects, like the Mobile Notifications service in Home Assistant.
