Jellyfish gathers all information company wide and makes it a platform to implement processes that enhance the team's productivity and understanding.

You'd be bothered by an inefficient process\n\n* Good understanding of software engineering practices and how to apply them\n\n* Excellent written communication skills, and fluency in English\n\n* Self-discipline to take on a project and push it to completion without too much management. You also know when to ask for help\n\n* Highly organized, able to handle many threads at once, and keep things moving\n\n* Experience with Node.js\n\n* Experience building single-page applications with React, or any similar modern framework\n\n* Strong testing skills\n\n* Understanding of the command-line interface\n\n* Understanding of backend systems and how they interact with front-end applications\n\n\n\n\nNice to have:\n\n\n* A sample of your work (URL or attached sample)\n\n* Contributions to OSS projects (please include a URL)\n\n* Having worked remotely before\n\n* Experience with balena as a user\n\n* Experience with embedded GNU/Linux, anything ranging from personal projects with a Raspberry Pi to commercial or industrial scenarios with custom devices\n\n* Experience building automation tools\n\n* Experience building productivity software\n\n\n\n\nMake sure to let us know if any of these items apply to you!\n\nABOUT WORKING AT BALENA\n\nWe come from 15+ countries, and we embrace a remote culture with flexible hours.

We value the ability to learn, which is more important to us than knowledge of specific technologies. We know that learning fast means being outside our comfort zone, which is OK -- we'd rather learn than let our assumptions get in our way.\n\nBENEFITS\n\n\n* Work with an extremely talented, diverse team\n\n* Equipment of your choice\n\n* Remote-friendly\n\n* Flexible working hours\n\n* Generous vacation policy\n\n* Annual company gathering in an international location - this year, Barcelona in October\n\n* We send you hardware for side projects!\n\n\n\n\nTO APPLY\n\nWe're delighted to hear about you!

\nThe elevator pitch \n\nTake the lead on fully automating our DevOps and be part of our international and collaborative team of curious remote developers building consumer tech front-ends in React/React-Native and complex infrastructure backend in Node.js (microservices).\n\nWe’re looking for a DevOps developer that can craft and implement a fully automated CI/CD pipeline and institutional deployment at (massive) scale.\n\nAbout you ‍‍\n\nWe’re excited to tell you about Aula and what we’re working on, but first of all, let us explain who we’re looking for. The most important thing about you is that you are curious and care deeply about building great products that affect people’s lives. You are excited about joining a startup with all the ups and downs that entails. You are transparent, reliable and considerate. You are excited about shipping quickly. You are excited about trying out the newest technologies. You are ready to work hard to further our mission.\n\nBeyond this, our requirements are:\n\n\n* A passion for making developers’ lives easier and happier\n\n* Thorough knowledge of CI/CD Tooling\n\n* Programming experience in Node.js\n\n* Comfortable with infrastructure as code and deployment to public clouds\n\n* Extensive experience in designing Unix/Linux system architecture\n\n* Deep expertise in deploying cloud solutions (AWS etc)\n\n* Solid experience with containerisation technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)\n\n* Experience with Terraform and other Hashicorp products.\n\n* Experience with production databases management and deployments\n\n* You live within GMT-5 and GMT+5.5 (from South America/Central US time to India, Pakistan and some of Russia) for us to be awake at the same time.\n\n\n\n\nAbout us \n\nAula is a communication platform for education. Think ‘Slack for education’: consumer tech on the front-end yet complex infrastructure on the back-end. We’ve built Aula because we believe digital learning infrastructure should encourage community and participation-based learning.\n\nFor students, this means less one-way communication from the teacher, more collaboration with fellow students (using integrations with tools like GitHub and codepen) and easier access to student services like the welfare team - even if you’re commuting or are away from campus on a placement. We’ve recently raised a $4.2m seed round and some people think we’re worth watching out for.\n\nOur team \n\nWe’re a bunch of people from all over the world (Denmark, Philippines, France, Albania, Georgia, Pakistan, Sweden, India, UK and US) that care deeply about making educational experiences more engaging. Our developers have previously lead teams that have built things like the Georgian version of Youtube (myvideo.ge with 2.5 million monthly unique viewers) and a novel way to share and view 3D medical images (TissueStack), so beyond focusing on creating a supportive and collaborative environment where features get shipped quickly, we also have quite a bit of experience.\n\nYou’ll be working closely with your team so we thought you should hear from two of your future team members, Oliver and Brice.\n\nWe are backed by a world-class team of investors such as Project A, Nordic Makers (an angel group including Co-founders of Unity and Zendesk) and executives from LinkedIn and IBM.\n\nOur tech stack \n\nWe only use the bleeding edge tools to build educational infrastructure of the 21st century.

\nThe short version \n\nTake the lead on fully automating our DevOps and be part of our international and collaborative team of curious remote developers building consumer tech front-ends in React/React-Native and complex infrastructure backend in Node.js (microservices).\n\nWe’re looking for a DevOps developer that can craft and implement a fully automated CI/CD pipeline and institutional deployment at (massive) scale.\n\nAbout you ‍‍\n\nWe’re excited to tell you about Aula and what we’re working on, but first of all, let us explain who we’re looking for. The most important thing about you is that you are curious and care deeply about building great products that affect people’s lives. You are excited about joining a startup with all the ups and downs that entails. You are transparent, reliable and considerate. You are excited about shipping quickly. You are excited about trying out the newest technologies. You are ready to work hard to further our mission.\n\nBeyond this, our requirements are:\n\n\n* A passion for making developers’ lives easier and happier\n\n* Thorough knowledge of CI/CD Tooling\n\n* Programming experience in Node.js\n\n* Comfortable with infrastructure as code and deployment to public clouds\n\n* Extensive experience in designing Unix/Linux system architecture\n\n* Deep expertise in deploying cloud solutions (AWS etc)\n\n* Solid experience with containerisation technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)\n\n* Experience with Terraform and other Hashicorp products.\n\n* Experience with production databases management and deployments\n\n* You live within GMT-5 and GMT+5.5 (from South America/Central US time to India, Pakistan and some of Russia) for us to be awake at the same time.\n\n\n\n\nAbout us \n\nAula is a communication platform for education. Think ‘Slack for education’: consumer tech on the front-end yet complex infrastructure on the back-end. We’ve built Aula because we believe digital learning infrastructure should encourage community and participation-based learning.\n\nFor students, this means less one-way communication from the teacher, more collaboration with fellow students (using integrations with tools like GitHub and codepen) and easier access to student services like the welfare team - even if you’re commuting or are away from campus on a placement. We’ve recently raised a $4.2m seed round and some people think we’re worth watching out for.\n\nOur team \n\nWe’re a bunch of people from all over the world (Denmark, Philippines, France, Albania, Georgia, Pakistan, Sweden, India, UK and US) that care deeply about making educational experiences more engaging. Our developers have previously lead teams that have built things like the Georgian version of Youtube (myvideo.ge with 2.5 million monthly unique viewers) and a novel way to share and view 3D medical images (TissueStack), so beyond focusing on creating a supportive and collaborative environment where features get shipped quickly, we also have quite a bit of experience.\n\nYou’ll be working closely with Oliver, our CTO, so we thought we’d put a face on him.\n\nWe are backed by a world-class team of investors such as Project A, Nordic Makers (an angel group including Co-founders of Unity and Zendesk) and executives from LinkedIn and IBM.\n\nOur tech stack \n\nWe only use the bleeding edge tools to build educational infrastructure of the 21st century.

Once a month we also have ‘Mad Computer Science Idea’-day, where the entire team gets together to create something that has never been created before or using some tech that’s usually not used for that purpose.\n\nThe role \n\nWe’re looking for a seasoned developer that can take the lead on creating a fully automated DevOps setup to make our developer team really happy.  \n\nHere’s a snapshot of what you’ll be working on:\n\n\n* Infrastructure deployment/management:\n\n\n\n* Management of our current infrastructure.\n\n* Monitoring of our resources: dozens of network interfaces, hundreds of servers, dozens of databases, etc.\n\n* Deployment of new infrastructure resources (new institutional environments)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Tooling\n\n\n\n* Integrate all the automation around infrastructure/deployments into the Aula-CLI\n\n* Create new tools to ease other developers’ lives/deployments\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Deployment/test pipeline\n\n\n\n* Create/maintain the right pipeline in order to ensure maximal automation around running our tests and deployments\n\n* Full CI/CD pipeline\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe already use a number of solutions for automating repetitive and/or critical tasks.

The first three stages all take place asynchronously in a dedicated Slack channel filled with other curious and smart candidates - it’s turned out to be quite a community. You’ll chat with Oliver about your experience and your thoughts particular topics. You’ll then receive a (~5 hour) test to complete over the course of 48 hours - on the weekend if you’d like. Then you get to meet the team on video conference. If both parties feel comfortable, we’ll then give you an offer to join us. The whole process takes place over the course of around 10 days, in your own time.\n\nWe put a lot of effort into finding and developing the right team members and we prefer to spend our time on candidates that take the time to understand if they fit into the role. Please start your application with the words ‘I breathe semicolons’ to show that you took your time to read all of this \n\nApplication deadline: May 28  \n\nLook forward to hearing from you,\n\nThe Aula team \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to DevOps, Engineer, React, JavaScript, Video, Cloud, Medical and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $67,500 — $120,000/year\n
