About you
To be able to grow fast, new features needs to be implemented and different stakeholders will be involved. The current Laravel codebase is reaching its limits. It is too slow, it is not decoupled and the codebase is difficult to maintain with larger teams. Therefore the choice to move to microservices!

In your position as DevOps/SRE, you will:

  • Implement Kubernetes and Docker for local, test and staging;
  • Rebuild and maintain our CI/CD system;
  • Make our Continuous delivery strategy fly;
  • Monitor our internal services and external services and improve uptime and performance based on users needs;
  • Setting up performance and security kpi’s;
  • Implement and monitor performance dashboards, triggers and SLA’s;
  • Implement performance tests and help us with (auto) scaling up;
  • Advice and help us to decide if we should stay with Google Cloud or move to AWS.

The company is growing fast. If you have what it takes we can offer you opportunities to be involved in the growth of the online platform. In short, a great opportunity to discover and develop your qualities!
