DevOps Engineer Opportunity at Chordify

At Chordify, we're looking for a DevOps Engineer (3+ years of experience) to join our team.

About the Job

Our mission at Chordify is to make it as easy as possible for musicians of all skill levels to learn to play their favorite music.

As a DevOps Engineer at Chordify, you'll help improve the server infrastructure, for both our users and colleagues.

Within Chordify, you'll work in the Digital Infrastructure team - a team whose mission it is to provide a secure and reliable infrastructure for Chordify's operations. Ultimately, our users will have a great experience on our apps and web, thanks to the stable server infrastructure that you provide.

You

• love music

• have experience with maintaining (virtual) server infrastructure

• have plenty of new ideas for improving our infrastructure, for example on how to most effectively deal with an increasing number of visitors

• understand the importance of security updates

• can communicate with other teams about infrastructural changes

• are not afraid to break things by pressing the wrong button and learn from it

• are located in the Netherlands

We

• Are a bunch of friendly, open, always caring people, from a variety of cultural and professional backgrounds.

• Are an autonomous workforce, with our own flavor of the Holacracy method.

• Serve tens of millions of users with a fairly lean server infrastructure.

• Have no managers, no micromanagement.

• Love music!

Our work philosophy is simple: We believe in an autonomous workforce where everybody takes care of themselves and their work. We call it Chortonomy, where everyone does what they know best, and with all our skills combined we make Chordify.

You Will

• be part of the Digital Infrastructure team - a multidisciplinary team that focuses on maintaining, refining, and improving the infrastructure which runs our internal services and supports the millions of people who use Chordify every day;

• help ensure that the Chordify platform is always online

• look at upcoming infrastructure requirements, and ensure they are implemented without downtime

• respond to monitoring messages and take proper action, for example by upgrading a VPS to have more RAM (or maybe by filing an issue with our back-end team that a certain process is suddenly using a lot of RAM)

• automate as much as possible, for example gracefully taking a server offline for maintenance

• maintain and improve CI pipelines

The most important tools and software that we use in our team are Puppet (which may at some point be replaced, potentially by Nix), HashiCorp Vault, MariaDB, Redis, Nginx, HAProxy, ProxySQL, Jenkins, Nagios, Gitlab, and Sphinx search.

You Get

• a gross monthly salary of €3900 to €5100 (based on 40h/week, excluding 8% holiday allowance) depending on your skills and expertise;

• a result-based collective bonus of up to 10% of your yearly salary;

• flexible working hours;

• to work at either our Utrecht or Groningen office and, if you want, partially from home;

• a pension scheme;

• a daily free lunch, snacks, and drinks;

• commuting expenses reimbursed;

• a leased bicycle of your choice;

• a budget each year to spend on anything music related;

• to be part of an international team of music lovers;

• to enjoy Friday afternoon drinks, regular game evenings, and team outings;

• to make music during work;

• to trade public holidays for other days that are important to you;

• to focus on your mental health through OpenUp.
