Junior Site Reliability Engineer

Flightradar24 is the world’s most popular flight tracking service. More than 2 million people use our website and mobile apps every day. When something exciting happens, such as when the pope or the Antonov An-225 are flying, our servers get pummeled.

In addition to our systems and cloud infrastructures we operate a globally distributed network of 30,000 Raspberry Pi-based radio receivers, feeding real-time aircraft data into our platform.

We’re now looking for a driven junior Site Reliability Engineer to join our team who is a fast learner and wants to work with modern data center and cloud operations.

What you’ll do

• Maintain and evolve our system infrastructure based on a modern virtualized data center environment as well as AWS and Azure cloud services
• Standardize and automate the provisioning of infrastructure resources via Infrastructure-as-Code, orchestration, and configuration management
• Optimize the reliability and performance of on-prem and cloud infrastructure, including networking, virtualization, SAN and other storage
• Contribute to and support scaling out of infrastructure and services to cloud platforms
• Interact closely with our developers to deliver a highly performant and reliable live production platform, and investigate production issues for continuous improvement
• Be part of developing our future private cloud based on open technologies like OpenStack, Ceph, and KVM, and integration with public clouds
• Over time work with much of our tech stack, including: Linux, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, Redis Cluster, RabbitMQ, Haproxy, Nginx, VMware ESXi, Juniper network equipment, Dell EMC SAN, Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, Datadog, Jenkins

Who you are

• You strive to learn new technologies and are interested of taking your existing skills to the next level
• A self-starter who naturally assumes responsibility for driving projects forward
• Reasonably strong experience with Linux, either you are self taught or you have relevant experience through studies or previous work experience
• It’s a plus if you also have experience with some (but not necessarily all) other parts of our platform technology, e.g. data center equipment, networking, cloud (AWS), virtualization, automation, scripting, or web/online technology
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written. Comfortable working in a distributed team of multiple nationalities

Note that although our company has a flexible remote work model, our data center is located outside of Stockholm, Sweden, so proximity to this location is required.
