Your opportunity

Team.blue is looking for a System Engineer to join our OpenStack team in Leiden. In this role, you will help develop, operate, and maintain a large-scale OpenStack platform across multiple datacentres in the Netherlands.

By making our infrastructure reliable, scalable, and easy to use, we enable our customers to focus on what they do best. Automation plays a key role in our platform, helping customers become as self-sufficient as possible. After all, nobody enjoys being dependent on customer care.

You are a system engineer who feels at home on the command line and enjoys working close to the infrastructure. You like diving into complex technical challenges and understanding how systems behave under the hood. Guidance is available, especially in the beginning, but curiosity and ownership are essential.

The team

As part of the OpenStack team, you will work on a complex environment managing a public cloud environment for our customers. You will be expected to understand how OpenStack components interact and how they are operated in production.

Python plays an important role in managing and automating our infrastructure, so being able to read and write Python code is essential. You will also work with a microservices-based architecture and should be comfortable understanding how services communicate and depend on each other.

The team continuously evaluates new tools and technologies to improve the platform. You will need to pick up new concepts quickly and apply them in practice. Work is organised in sprints, and we follow SCRUM as our development process.

What your day will look like

You work from home or another workspace, with at least one day per week at our Leiden offi
