Cloud Software Engineer

Intro

Unoperate is ready for its first hires! I founded Unoperate to help companies create and manage cloud-based software. The last two years proved that there has been a high demand for what Unoperate offers. The happy customers include Google, Codility and two other companies, which would rather not reveal themselves. This has given me the confidence to build a team to deliver high quality services on a larger scale.

The job

Your job will entail whatever it takes to solve customers’ problems: design, software development, infrastructure, maintenance. Unoperate doesn’t focus on particular technologies – it focuses on utilizing high-level expertise in building reliable, robust and scalable solutions. Therefore, the technologies will vary but the focus will remain on backend, cloud and infrastructure. For a taste of what to expect, please see the testimonials.

What’s in it for you?

• 18K-22K PLN, depending on how much experience you have; B2B contracts only
• working with cloud-based technologies
• flexibility – you get to chose your working hours, remote work is possible
• very convenient office location in Warsaw (the National Stadium), with plenty of food options on the nearby Francuska street; public transit users will enjoy Metro, trams and buses; drivers will enjoy a free parking
• if you live outside of Warsaw area, you get 900zł office allowance

Why Unoperate?

You might ask yourself why Unoperate, rather than other companies of a similar profile hiring today. Let me try to convince you as concisely as possible:

• you’ll have a chance to take part in building a company without risking your own money or compromising your salary
• you’ll get a lot of mentoring from me; let me cut the false modesty – I took part in endeavors, which taught me a lot and I’m eager to pass that knowledge on; among those endeavors are technical leadership in a team running the largest database on the planet (Google Bigtable), leading a filesystem design, acting as a VP of engineering or developing the most scalable (back then) disk-based distributed backup solution (HydraStor)
• because we’re only starting to grow, you’ll have a much bigger say in what and how we do than you’d have in a well established company

What’s expected of you

This job is for you if you:

• Are eager to develop cloud software
• Know English at the working proficiency level
• Are a great programmer in at least one language (preferably C++, golang, python or rust)
• Have an SRE mindset
• Understand the challenges of distributed programming and know the standard solutions to them
• Are a quick learner; it’s impossible to know all the technologies, so it’s essential that you are able to learn them quickly
• Prefer working with many technologies to becoming an expert in a particular one
• Are a pragmatist – value robustness, simplicity and speed of delivery over mathematical beauty
• Have the ability to dive deep when things go wrong, i.e. practical knowledge of UNIX, networking, hardware characteristics, containers, etc.
• Prefer moving targets over well defined tasks, where only gaps need to be filled
