DevOps/software Engineer

We are Outbrain.

We’re one of the world’s largest content recommendation platforms, delighting audiences with engaging, personalized content recommendations while serving as the primary engagement partner and platform for the world’s top digital media companies.

We're looking for a versatile Site Reliability Engineer to help us grow and support services across Outbrain infrastructure. We are working at a huge scale: currently managing hundreds of thousands of ad campaigns and tens of billions of ad impressions per day. Our infrastructure handles more than many millions requests/second. Our systems are running on thousands of powerful servers around the globe and growing. It generates terabytes of data every day that needs to be processed quickly and efficiently. On top of that many of the systems get deployed multiple times every day. Needless to say, there will be no lack of challenges.

A day in the life

• You will join a small team of engineers, which are part of a bigger platform group.
• You will help other engineers be efficient: you will discuss problems engineers are solving and you will consult and help them build optimal systems.
• You will help build and maintain tools for monitoring and deployment for optimal delivery performance.
• You will take care of the underlying infrastructure with the help of Ansible and Chef. A part of the infrastructure is running in the cloud (Azure and GCP), some on leased bare-metal machines and some is running in our own data centers, which are managed by a dedicated team in Outbrain. Each has its own set of challenges that you will help solve on a daily basis.
• You will work with exciting technology: Go, Python, AWS, GCP, K8s, Docker, Chef, Ansible, Terraform, Kafka, Aerospike, PostgreSQL, Redis, Hadoop, BigQuery, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, etc.
• You will be on-call and will help developers resolve production issues.

What you’ll bring

• Good understanding and knowledge of Linux and networking.
• Experience working with deployment and orchestration technologies (such as Docker, Kubernetes, Chef, Ansible and Jenkins).
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, well-tested production code.
• A strong desire to learn and grow as a member of a talented engineering team.
• You lean towards simple and effective solutions and are allergic to over-engineering.
• You set very high standards for yourself and you are constantly improving your skills.
• You like working with people - you'll be doing that a lot.
• You are a reliable, trustworthy person that keeps their promises and takes responsibility for their actions.
• Having experience with our stack is a plus, but not mandatory - we value talent, strong fundamentals and dedication to excellence more than the tools you've used.

Technical Skills/Experience will be tested in the early stages of the recruitment process.

More than snacks!

• Office and home hybrid working (3 days in the office)
• Parking reimbursement
• Expand your toolbox with our mentorship program and internal learning tools
• Pet friendly office
• …and of course a fully stocked kitchen!
• 
  

Please submit your CV in english.
