What are you going to do?

Enabling our customers’ organizations to continue to grow! The ‘formal description’ is that as a cloud engineer, you’ll be responsible for a stable infrastructure on which we run our customer environments. But we’re not that formal. So, how would we describe what we do? The SaaS Platform team works with cutting-edge technology, and that’s pretty cool. We host over 7000 customer environments that are updated twice a week and require 24/7 uptime. That’s why we’re constantly challenging ourselves to see if we can go faster or make improvements.

Integrating operational work with engineering tasks and being on call 24/7 requires careful coordination. Imagine a dynamic workplace where we do our engineering work by sprinting through tasks in a Scrum fashion while operational tasks are managed with Kanban’s flexibility. Night shifts ensure round-the-clock support for critical tasks. Clear communication and mutual respect between teams are vital to the success of this hybrid approach.
