Software Engineer - UpCloud Kubernetes Service

at  UpCloud

At UpCloud you’ll be literally building the cloud.
The cloud is just 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.
UpCloud is growing, and we’re looking for a Software Engineer with full stack experience to join our development team, either from our office in Helsinki or fully remotely in Europe!
In this position, you’ll have a chance to directly contribute to the evolution 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.
Your work will consist of extending the control panel features in our Hub UI, interacting with our Managed Containers Services, and also developing tooling and observability capabilities for our Site Reliability team.

Our view is that to be successful in this role, you should have relevant experience working with Kubernetes and open-source technologies in:

• Front-end development with React & Typescript
• Back-end development with Go
• Writing web APIs interacting with PostgreSQL (or other relational databases) using Go

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

• SRE mindset and monitoring tooling for distributed systems (e.g. Grafana & Prometheus)
• Interacting with K8s cluster using Go

WHAT DOES A DAY IN THIS TEAM LOOK LIKE?

You implement features and have discussions with your team and Product Manager, prioritising relevant needs from our customers.. You research and build proof of concepts with your peers to help define the approach to those cases. From the outcomes of the investigation phase, together you’ll develop and validate the solution in sprints, demoing the outcomes and refining the next steps until production ready.
As a Software Engineer, you’re good in understanding engineering problems, while being pragmatic and hands-on in your approach to solve them, actively seeking for mentoring from more senior colleagues, if needed.
You’re constructive in your communication, and you feel comfortable in receiving and giving feedback, even when there are different points of view.
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. That is a promise.
