System Administrator

At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries with our innovative and sustainable app-only service. We do almost everything in-house, developing cutting-edge technologies and processes to ensure we continue to grow rapidly without missing a beat. If you’re a passionate System Administrator, we’re offering you the opportunity to join the diverse team at our Amsterdam HQ and make a real difference in our scaleup environment.

🥜 In a nutshell

As a Sysadmin, you’ll be responsible for our IT-related productivity from day one. You’ll have a crucial role in making sure our colleagues at the office, in our Fulfilment Centers, and at the Hubs, can get their important work done! By ensuring that our systems are up and running and fully secure, you’ll help ensure our customers across the Netherlands, Germany, and France, get their groceries on time.

We run advanced Warehouse Management Systems and a fleet of electric vans that operate with tight deadlines: daily deliveries go out each day, come rain or shine, with lots of engagement and quick thinking.

Your hands-on support goes beyond the classic line, have you tried turning it off and on again? and your people skills are as strong as your tech know-how. In exchange for your invaluable support, you'll gain in-depth experience within an ambitious and innovative tech company. With plenty of room to grow, you'll get to know the best practices in asset and account management, security, and much more. We don’t hide what we do. Instead, we open-source with the community that helped us grow. Here’s proof: http://picnic.tech
