At Rugvista we are dedicated and passionate about helping people to a home they love. We are an entrepreneurial organisation committed to constantly improving ourselves and our business. Currently, we are seeking a dynamic and ambitious DevOps Engineer who possesses a passion for automation, effective communication, relentless pursuit of improvements, and the ability to assume a leadership role within our domain.

About the role

Our company is growing rapidly, and the tech team is looking for a DevOps Engineer. You will join an ambitious team of developers who are working close with the business and who are focusing on two main objectives:

• To give our customers the best possible experience when navigating through our website.
• To provide the rest of the organisation with tools to be able to efficiently complete their tasks, often through a high degree of automation.

The position will be located either at our headquarters in Malmö, Sweden, or in Berlin, Germany, where we are in the process of opening a small office.

How you make an impact

You will be responsible for creating and communicating the strategy for Rugvista's DevOps pipelines and infrastructure, fostering collaboration and effective communication with developer teams and other key stakeholders across the company.

• Containerization and Virtualization: you may be experienced configuring Docker or possibly serverless architectures.
• Commercial Cloud: you may have experience working with the services of at least one commercial cloud provider - AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
• Automation: you may have set up build and deploy systems and improved automation processes, used to work with CDK, Terraform or similar.
• Version Control: you may be skilled in handling source code in git, using for instance GitLab or GitHub.
• Software development: you may be skilled in one or multiple modern programming languages. TDD, DDD or other agile coding practices like pair and ensemble programming (earlier known as mob programming) are concepts you might be familiar with.
• System Administration: you may be experienced at managing servers based on Linux, Windows or in the cloud with AWS, Azure or OpenStack.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
