Cloud Engineers and Architects for GCP & AWS
Revolgy
Full-time · 100% remote · EU citizens · Europe (pref. max +/- 3 hours difference to CET)
WE ARE REVOLGY...a bunch of cloud-native enthusiasts. Currently, there are about 60 of us. Leading Czech cloud-services company, on the market since 1996. Certified and trusted partner of Google and AWS, providing digital transformation services through cloud infrastructure and online collaboration tools. Helping our 2000+ B2B (Baltics 2 Balkan) clients grow their business in the cloud.
WE WANT YOU! 🤩Our team of super ambitious folks with strong collaboration and communication skills needs new colleagues. Our Technical production team is growing and we are looking for suitable candidates to help us deliver projects leveraging cloud-native services to our clients. Our mission is to empower our clients with the best possible cloud architecture solution and deliver cloud professional services.
How do we do that?
The client writes the source code of his application. And then our job begins. We build a CI/CD pipeline (Gitlab-CI, Circle CI), deploy it on the GCP/AWS infrastructure, which we define in Terraform (Infrastructure as Code principle). The GCP/AWS resources stack is different for every customer. Some customers prefer containers (ECS, EKS), some VMs (EC2) or even serverless (Lambda). Managed services are on the rise, but we do not hesitate to get our hands dirty with deployed Prometheus. It is all paired with a bit of security such as fine-grained IAM, security groups and CloudTrail.
OUR TEAM
Cloud Architects and Cloud Engineers deliver infrastructure analysis, billing optimizations, Proof of Concepts, Lift&Shift migrations and true DevOps partnerships with the client. We formulate our own development guidelines, which allows us to build a strong technical culture. Everyone has his/her own voice that is heard.
The rule we follow is that 1 person works on a maximum of 2 projects, and our projects usually take from 2 up to 20 man-days. At the beginning of each project, there is a strong part of project planning led by the project manager. Every team member has full trust and we embrace self-managed work ethic.
We emphasize personal development and offer fully-funded learning time for certifications and/or specializations. Every certification is appreciated with a little gift at minimum.
We will happily allocate time for writing blog posts or discovering a new technology that can push us forward.
