System Engineer – Managed Kubernetes
The Container Services team is responsible for delivering Leaseweb Managed Kubernetes: a platform that empowers customers to deploy, manage, and update their own Kubernetes clusters while simplifying the complexity that comes with running them at scale. We are looking for a motivated System Engineer to help build and evolve this product.
Product Engineering at Leaseweb
Our team of approximately 110 engineers works in small scrum teams, each with end-to-end responsibility for a specific product or part of our architecture. We work on a remote-first basis, coming together in person at our Amsterdam headquarters twice a year.
Our organizational structure is flat, placing a high value on independence and entrepreneurship. The atmosphere is informal and relaxed, creating a highly motivating work environment where you will work alongside some of the most inspiring colleagues in the industry.
As a System Engineer in the Container Services team, you are responsible for developing our container offering based on Kubernetes. Your main activities will be automating the deployment of Kubernetes clusters across Leaseweb's various compute offerings, as well as maintaining and monitoring those clusters.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals: software engineers, system engineers, a scrum master, product owner, and product management. You are not afraid to experiment, but you always keep observability, scalability, stability, and reliability in mind.
Explore, evaluate, and integrate new Kubernetes versions and components, advising on best practices and identifying issues before they reach production
You will make this happen by:
Delivering across the full lifecycle: design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and aftercare
You love working in a team setting. You enjoy building new solutions using the latest technologies. You believe that continuous improvement also applies to yourself and have the desire to grow. You are not afraid to experiment but at the same time keep in mind observability, scalability, stability and reliability.
