Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
BlueLabs Software
At BlueLabs we started out last year with the vision of building a next generation sports betting platform focused on performance, reliability, modularity and automation. After a period of experimentation, we are now excited to see our technology powering the launch of a new B2C operator in Ghana in early 2021.
To ensure the continuous enhancement of our platform while scaling up operations and entering additional African countries we are now looking to enlarge our team. As a result, our Infrastructure Team is now on the lookout for an Infrastructure Engineer who wants to join our distributed team and help us execute our vision.
The Team
Our mission is to provide secure and reliable infrastructure, enabling other engineering teams to successfully deploy and manage their mission-critical workloads, while ensuring the maximum availability of our products. We are passionate about resiliency, automation and to keep things up and running at scale.
Currently, we are busy building the infrastructure foundations that will soon host our production environment. We expect you to be part of this milestone, suggesting, implementing and owning solutions that will make our infrastructure more efficient and reliable.
On a regular day, you might find yourself working on:
- Deploying services or designing processes to support the needs of other engineering teams.
- Defining what our infrastructure might look like in the near future.
- Preparing a backup and disaster recovery strategy to keep our data safe and minimise the RTO.
- Writing code to automate processes and deploy new cloud services/resources.
- Maintaining the core infrastructure of the company.
- Working with other engineering teams to troubleshoot and resolve operational issues.
- Improving services operational efficiency and performance.

Remote Work
We are hiring for talent, not for a specific location. You will find that members of our team are distributed all over Europe.

However, to facilitate team communication and collaboration we currently require you to be located in a European time zone (between UTC-1 and UTC+3). You must also be able to travel to other European locations a few times a year for on-site meetings and workshops.
Compensation
The budgeted compensation range for this role is €58,000 to €64,000 annually, depending on your background and experience. As an independent contractor, you will be responsible for paying any taxes or applicable fees in your country of residence.
