Description
Ecosia, or as we like to call it, the search engine that plants trees, is a groundbreaking social business and one of the first B-Corps in Europe. As part of our mission to cultivate a more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable world, we want to plant a billion native trees by 2020. So far our 7 million users have planted over 50 million trees with their 120 million monthly searches and we are growing and planting worldwide.
We are looking for a developer with a full-stack mindset and expertise in devops and infrastructure to join us in Berlin! As a software developer with an infrastructure focus, you’ll split your time between: coding on our products and applications with your product team; and working together with other infrastructure-focused developers from other teams to improve our Kubernetes-based infrastructure and developer workflow. Do you want to become part of an inspiring team and craft a product used by millions of users?
What you’ll do
- Maintain and improve our infrastructure codebase and share ownership of our production systems (using Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Nginx, and many others)
- Share on-call responsibilities with other members of the team (with compensation for participating, and time-off after incidents)
- Accelerate our developer workflow and productivity with tools, systems and processes (currently using Bazel, Jsonnet, Github, CircleCI)
- Join an encouraging, multi-functional product team, sharing in application development tasks (in Go, Python, and JavaScript) and collaborating closely with product owners and other developers
- Be involved in decision-making regarding our cloud infrastructure (currently AWS, primarily using kops for Kubernetes)
- Help us foster a “software ownership” culture, including supporting or mentoring other developers with running code in production
What you bring
- You have the ability to turn ideas into code that you are proud of
- You are familiar with Kubernetes, both as a developer of applications and as a cluster operator
- You have production experience with coding in Go, Python, or Node.js, and containerization using Docker
- You have experience with AWS or a similar cloud infrastructure provider, especially operating Kubernetes clusters
- You have experience with monitoring applications in production
- Bonus: You have experience with a monorepo build tool like Bazel
- You’re passionate about extending your skills and working on multiple stacks with the support of the team
- You care deeply about testing
- You not only care about your work, but also about the people you’re doing it with
- You have respect for and share our core values
- You can speak and write English fluently (German not required)
What we offer
- A chance to help craft and develop a product used by millions of users
- Opportunity to use state of the art infrastructure tools and try out new tools and techniques, and contribute to open-source projects we use
- Be a member of a highly skilled, multi-functional team that’s eager to collaborate and help you develop your skills
- Space to add your expertise without being rigid about the way things need to be done
- Chance to be part of something meaningful
- Fair compensation package (including compensation for on-call) based on your skills and experience
- Phenomenal office in the heart of the Berlin
- Flexible working hours and location
- All the tools you need and perks like a free-book policy
- Weekly team breakfasts
- Oh, and coffee, and organic snacks and fruit, we have plenty of both
