United States onlyAt UpCloud, you’ll be literally building the cloud.
Sometimes, cloud technologies can be offered as a patchwork of ready-made solutions. At UpCloud, however, you'll be working with something that we've built from the ground up! Our existing infrastructure relies on commodity server hardware running open-source Linux-based systems and in-house automation developed and maintained by our own developers.
We’re on a mission to be the number #1 European cloud platform, built on performance, reliability, and trust. While data sovereignty has become a hot topic in the EU, we can proudly say that we’ve been mastering it since 2011. UpCloud’s business and infrastructure are growing with 15 existing data centers worldwide.
Being on a growth path, we need new hands on deck! We’re looking for a senior-level Site Reliability Engineer to join our skilled team that is eager to embrace your new ideas, and give you an opportunity to influence how our Operations look like. Our team has a very flat culture, and communicates openly. You will be offered trust and independence in your work, yet you’ll always have the support and help of your teammates.
In this role you will:
Support development teams in implementing, rolling out, and testing new features/products
Plan and build new development, QA, and production infrastructure, making sure operational requirements and best practices are met
Maintain and improve several existing systems
Participate in the development of our UKS (UpCloud Kubernetes Service) product
Handle daily operational tasks together with the rest of the operations team, keeping production running by focusing more on the software side of things, automation, and monitoring
Plan and execute change management and regular maintenance with minimal impact to production
You will need to have:
Several years of Linux server administration experience
Good understanding of distributed computing systems
Experience with Docker/Kubernetes
Virtualization and storage systems knowledge
Experience with high availability databases, preferably MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Scripting skills (Bash/Python)
Automation and IaC experience (Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu)
Ability to design and implement monitoring
Experience with version control and CI/CD pipelines
Basic knowledge of server/networking hardware and Data Centers
A can-do attitude, with proven problem-solving and solution-finding skills
We also appreciate:
