About the role
We're an Amsterdam-based team of 100 (and counting), with 25+ nationalities and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our collective travel belts. What we have in common, beyond very well-worn passports, is this: We want to change the way people travel. That's exactly what we're doing, with the app that lets you plan, track, and relive every trip. Polarsteps has over 20 million users already. For us, this is just the beginning.
Your expedition: DevOps at Polarsteps
One person, the whole platform.
Polarsteps helps 23+ million travellers plan, track and relive their trips, and all of it runs on our infrastructure. As our DevOps Engineer, you’ll be the main point of contact for that infrastructure. You’ll work alongside our Platform team and support all 8 of our engineering teams, so everyone can ship with confidence.
There’s plenty of room to bring your own ideas and improve how we work, with a supportive team around you to figure things out together. If you enjoy being hands-on, setting up good processes and helping others make the right technical choices, this is your kind of adventure.
Our ambition is big. We want our infrastructure ready for 100 million+ users, built efficiently in both cost and resources.
Your itinerary
What your journey at Polarsteps will look like day-to-day:
You will:
Report to Simeon, our Lead Backend Engineer, and work closely with our Platform team (Youri, William, Paco, Jimmy, Florian and Ledio) and team leads across Engineering.
Own the day-to-day operations of our AWS stack, including S3 and our PostgreSQL databases.
Spot bottlenecks in our architecture and scaling, both for users and for developer experience. You’ll create and execute a plan with Engineering and other stakeholders.
Review, improve and maintain our observability, monitoring and alerting.
Manage and respond to incidents, and keep our infrastructure and troubleshooting documentation up to date.
Strengthen platform security and privacy, working alongside our external security lead.
Lead initiatives like rolling out company-wide SSO and managing our VPN.
Support our Data team with the infrastructure behind our analytics stack.
The equipment in your backpack
What we’re hoping you’ll bring with you:
5+ years as a DevOps Engineer, SRE or Platform Engineer.
Experience automating infrastructure and processes on AWS.
Fluency in shell scripting, Python and Terraform / OpenTofu.
Experience monitoring, troubleshooting and scaling a similar stack (Python, PostgreSQL/RDS) under growing load.
Comfort making changes to backend code when automation calls for it.
