Our Softies are a diverse and globally distributed team that are on a mission to change the future of data infrastructure with task-specific hardware and open source. We aim to do all the hard work so that our customers can adopt the best open source has to offer in a bulletproof and resilient way.

We're looking to add a Senior Systems Engineer to our newly created Product Engineering team, to drive new initiatives that accelerate our customer projects and bolster our product definition work. You’ll be working in a cross functional team with our product, marketing, sales and engineering teams.

Product Engineering works on quick-turnaround new technology projects to demonstrate how our server stack works and to make it easy for our partners, systems team, and our customers to deploy similar solutions. This can consist of first-time technology deployment/testing, demonstrating functionality and testing performance. We aim to automate and document everything we do, to ensure it can be easily consumed by others, both internally and by our channel partners and customers. Examples of recent projects include backup, data management, benchmarking, network automation, and containerisation.

Working alongside our product and solutions architecture teams, you will be driving:

• Proof of concept projects with industry partners, which integrate with our product lines.
• Maintenance of our deployment and automation tooling.
• Creation and maintenance of new and existing technical documentation that is both internally and externally-facing.
• Designing and proving out new customer-specific solutions alongside our solutions architecture team.
• Mentoring new colleagues as they get to grips with our technology stack and build their skills - both technical and otherwise.

• 5+ years experience in a technical role, ideally building and maintaining infrastructure.
• Fluency with Linux systems.
• Fluency with Git and version control.
• Experience with at least one of Salt, Ansible, Chef, mgmtconfig, or Puppet.
• Programming experience with Python, Go, Java, or C.
• Excellent proficiency in English, and a discipline of writing well-written and meticulous technical documentation as you work.

Ideally you might also have experience with one or two of the below:

• Open Source Storage, particularly Ceph, but also underlying technologies eg. LVM, ZFS.
• Open Source Virtualisation eg. Libvirt, OpenStack, Cloudstack, OpenNebula.
• Kubernetes deployment and operation.
• Contributions to open source projects.

Benefits

We pay competitively in the market in which you want to be located, and provide an attractive benefits package including significant share options in our fast growing, mid-stage start-up. 

Location

You tell us! This role gives you the freedom to live and work where you can be at your best. We operate globally and also have some pretty cool offices worldwide. Time travel (aka time zone optimisation) is one of our super powers and we use this to our best advantage in setting up teams and how we work. This role can be based in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand.

Recruitment agencies

We work with like-minded companies across all of our business. We’re not into vendor lock-in of any type, we don’t do the hard sell and we treat time and attention as valuable resources. Recruitment agents, please don’t send us unsolicited resumes or CVs unless we’ve asked you to work with us on the role - it just shows us you’re not our type.
