  • "CS is a consultancy that cares about you. The cool tech that CS promotes is to genuinely improve customers' infrastructure, not just give them what they want." - Eric Caleb, Cloud Native Engineer

The role and the details

      • Previous experience and roles that equip you for this role: Full-stack engineer / DevOps Engineer / experience with containerization and Docker
      • As a Cloud Native Engineer, you'll be in charge of shaping solutions for companies in the midst of both an organisational as well as a technological transformation. Working in small, self-managed teams, you'll guide our clients towards creating and automating their cloud infrastructure. We are a vendor-agnostic company, meaning that you will get to apply a diverse mix of tools and services. You mostly perform work from our offices. However, sometimes cooperation with our customers requires us to travel as part of the job.
      • The role is remote within these timezones GMT-4 to GMT+3. We are looking for people who already live in these timezones.

Benefits

Budget and time for learning, personal development, certifications, and contributing to open-source projects
A competitive salary (aligned with your experience)
Possibility for employee ownership and equity-based compensation
Full coverage of travel and commute
Unlimited books budget
25 days of paid leave
A pension scheme

What does it take?

We often build tailored, innovative solutions within complex and ambiguous environments. Therefore, having an inquisitive mind and the eagerness to explore is vital. On top of that, consulting with clients, which depends on asking the right questions and crafting solutions as a team, requires strong collaboration and communication skills

Must-have technical skills

An understanding of best practices and patterns in software development
Experience with CI/CD (knowledge of the principles and ability to set up a pipeline from scratch)
Infrastructure provisioning (such as Terraform, Ansible, Cloud Formation, etc)
Experience in either public or private cloud

A passion for the community (attending events, advocating cloud technology via meet-ups and conferences, or writing blog posts and other pieces of content)
Coaching and mentoring junior engineers
