Senior DevOps Engineer

Automation is the key to success for any organisation. At Schibsted Enterprise Technology providing the right tools and guidelines is of vital importance in order to gain speed on the deliveries of our division. We are looking for people that embrace automation, are innovative and love to help others delivering both better and faster solutions.

Our Infrastructure runs on top of the tools that a specialized team is building, such as Spinnaker, Travis or Artifactory. We run our services on AWS and apply CI/CD mechanisms.

We strongly believe in continuous improvement of always-on systems and we work relentlessly to achieve near complete resiliency in everything we do. This means no actual user downtime, seamless infrastructure and service upgrades as well as being proactive to issues.

So come and join our DevOps team to be at the forefront of active systems engineering and development.

- Work in close collaboration with the engineering organization, making sure that they follow the infrastructure guidelines that you have set and help them make design/reliability tradeoffs as well as implement systems that fail over gracefully and transparently to clients.
- Implement monitoring and logging solutions that enable the production systems to be monitored 24/7.
- Respond to requests from engineering by building self-service solutions
