At UpCloud you’ll be literally building the cloud.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer. But at UpCloud, it is ours - and we want to make it the best possible. Our Cloud is a fabric of thousands of high-end server computers, network gear, and storage devices, all woven together to deliver the best performance.

UpCloud is growing, and we’re looking for a Kubernetes Full Stack Software Engineer to join our development team!

In this position, you’ll have a chance to directly contribute to the evolution and success of one of our core products, by developing our Managed Kubernetes Service!

You’ll be part of a tightly-knit team of experienced developers who built the product from the ground up, now enabling our customers to run container workloads in UpCloud, through new and more sophisticated features.

Your work will consist of extending the control panel features in our Hub interacting with our Managed Containers Services, and also develop key Kubernetes components, such as cluster and infrastructure provisioning. We prefer to build our features with user-centred design, and our work is prioritised based on our customer needs, with their engagement & based on their feedback.

Our view is that to be successful in this role, you should have relevant experience working with Kubernetes and open-source technologies in:

• Front-end development preferably with React & Typescript
• Back-end development with Go
• Writing web APIs interacting with PostgreSQL (or other relational databases) using Go

Previous knowledge in one or more of the following aspects, are a nice bonus:

• Interacting with K8s cluster using Go
• Kubernetes operators, controllers and custom resource definitions (CRDs)
• Monitoring tooling for distributed systems (e.g. Grafana & Prometheus)
• General knowledge of the Terraform

What does a day in this team look like?

You implement features and have discussions with your team and Product Manager, which relevant use cases from our customers we may prioritise. You research and build proof of concepts with your peers to help define the approach to those cases. From the outcomes of the investigation phase, together you’ll develop the solution in sprints, and validate it.

As a Kubernetes Full Stack Software Engineer, you’re good in understanding engineering problems, while being pragmatic and hands-on in your approach to solve them, actively seeking for mentoring from more senior colleagues, if needed.

You’re constructive in your communication, and you feel comfortable in receiving and giving feedback, even when there are different points of view.

This role can be performed from our new office in the heart of Helsinki or fully remotely anywhere in Europe.

At UpCloud we'll provide you an easy-going environment that promotes work-life balance and self-development. You'll be encouraged to experiment, fail, learn, succeed amazingly, be brave to propose new things, agree and disagree. That’s how we like to work.
