Job description
As a DevOps Engineer at Helin, you are the bridge between our development and operations teams. You'll implement and manage DevOps practices, ensuring smooth and efficient software delivery across our organization. You'll be responsible for automating, deploying, and maintaining our cloud environments.

Your responsibilities will include: 
  • Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deployment processes and ensure code changes are automatically tested and deployed in a controlled manner.
  • Use tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation to define and manage infrastructure as code and automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure.
  • Implement and manage monitoring tools to ensure system health and performance and set up logging and alerting mechanisms for quick incident detection and response.
  • Manage and maintain server and environment configurations using tools such as Puppet, Chef, or Ansible and ensure consistency and reliability across different environments.
  • Manage cloud infrastructure and services in our Azure tenant and optimize cloud resources for cost-efficiency and performance.
  • Work closely with development, operations, and security teams to foster a culture of collaboration and ensure alignment on processes, goals, and tools among all stakeholders.
  • Implement security best practices in CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and deployment processes and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
  • Identify areas for automation to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort and implement automation scripts and tools to streamline operations and minimize human error.
  • Monitor and improve application and infrastructure performance and implement caching, load balancing, and other techniques for high availability and scalability.
  • Respond to and resolve infrastructure, deployment, or application performance incidents and participate in on-call rotations for 24/7 support when necessary.
  • Document processes, tools, and systems for future reference and share knowledge and best practices with team members.
  • Evaluate, implement, and manage DevOps tools, including version control systems, CI servers, and containerization tools.
Qualifications
Honestly, we don't even need to spell out this role for you. You live it and breathe it. To thrive in this team, it's important to work independently, be a quick learner, and have experience with Azure DevOps and CI/CD pipelines. You are someone who gets a kick out of driving important changes. Someone who leaves a mark! 

If you are not an expert yet, you are planning to become one and you:   
  1. Are a resident of The Netherlands and have a permanent work permit (we do not sponsor visas nor relocations).
  2. Have Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
  3. Have 3+ years of experience in a DevOps or similar role
  4. Have strong proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Bash), experience in Python or C#, and with CI/CD tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, Pipelines), as well as with infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Bicep, ARM)
  5. Are familiar with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and have knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure) and networking and security principles.
  6. Have exceptional English communication and people skills; you are adept at conveying complex technical information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and have excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
And it would be great if you have experience in a fast-growing scale-up international environment.

This is what you get from us
  • A chance to be part of an amazing international and fast-growing team.
  • A flexible work environment; at our growing office in Rijswijk or from home.
  • The chance to learn, excel in your craft and grow. We will support your education and development with a yearly budget, and you’ll have plenty of freedom for your own ideas and initiative.
  • Lunch is on us and on Fridays, we get food from one of our favorite local eateries delivered to the office.
  • We’ve got your commuting expenses covered: if you walk, bike, drive or use public transport with an NS business card.
  • After putting in all effort, we want to make sure you can unwind too. If you work a 40-hour week, you’ll have 24 vacation days, and we will offer you the possibility to work remotely for 2 weeks per year.
  • We've got your retirement savings sorted too, and Helin covers half of the contribution.
