About the Team

The mission of our team in Allegro is maintaining and tuning private and public cloud solutions  and its ecosystem. Our work is a never-ending challenge that gives us an opportunity to learn new technology trends from the world of FOSS and run them. If we don’t find what we need in the FOSS, we develop it.

Your main responsibilities:

• Operating running private (Openstack) and public (GCP) clouds
• Working in the spirit of the GitOps philosophy
• Automating and optimizing tools related to our work (most often related to Openstack and GCP)
• Creating tools according to our needs and requirements
• Holding on-call duty 24/7

What we offer:

• Our technology stack is: openstack private cloud, GCP, linux ubuntu,
• Tech teams integrations: Prometheus, ELK, Artifactory, CMDB, kubernetes, etc 
• Opportunity to develop programming skills in various technologies: Bash, Python, Golang, JS.
• We are responsible for architecture of private and public cloud environments
• The possibility of getting to know private cloud technology from the inside.
• We go from managing services at the IaaS level to diving into drivers and BIOS settings as needed

This is the right job for you if:

• Linux Mastery & Architecture: Deep hands-on experience in Linux Systems Administration (with a preference for ARM architecture), including proficiency in debugging at the kernel, networking, and storage layers.
• Automation & Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages, specifically Bash and Python, to build robust automation solutions.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Extensive experience with IaC practices covering infrastructure, compliance, and security using tools such as Terraform.
• Configuration Management: Proven expertise with configuration management tools such as Ansible and Salt.
• Cloud & Provisioning: Practical experience in provisioning resources and managing permissions/IAM within public cloud environments (GCP/Azure/AWS).
• Troubleshooting & Distributed Systems: Demonstrated expertise in analyzing and troubleshooting complex issues, preferably within the context of large-scale distributed systems.
• Database & Networking: Solid understanding of MySQL and a strong foundation in networking principles to contribute to a well-rounded engineering skill set.

What we offer:

• Flexible working hours in the hybrid model (4/1) - our hours can start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work. 
• Long term discretionary incentive plan based on Allegro.eu shares (restricted stock units).
• Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results.
• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).
• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.
• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).
• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.
• A training budget, inter-team tourism (more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.
• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.
• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, Advent of Code, and many other occasions we enjoy. 
  
  And that's just the beginning! You can read more about the benefits here.
  
  #goodtobehere means that:
• You will join a team you can count on - we work with top-class specialists who have sharing knowledge and experience in their DNA.
• You will love our level of autonomy in team organization, the space for continuous development, and the opportunity to try new things. You get to choose which technology solves the problem and you are responsible for what you create.
• You will value our Developer Experience and the full platform of tools and technologies that make creating software easier. We rely on an internal ecosystem based on self-service and widely used tools such as Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, GitHub, and GitHub Actions. Thanks to this, you can contribute to Allegro from your very first days on the job.
• You will be equipped with modern AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on developing new services and refining existing ones (also leveraging AI support).
• You will create solutions that will be used (and loved!) by your friends, family and millions of our customers.
• You will meet the Allegro Scale, which starts with over 1000 microservices, an open-source data bus (Hermes) with 300K+ rps, a Service Mesh with 1M+ rps, tens of petabytes of data, and production-used machine learning.
• You will become part of Allegro Tech - We speak at industry conferences, cooperate with tech communities, run our own blog (it's been over 10 years!), record podcasts, lead guilds, and we organize our own internal conference - the Allegro Tech Meeting. We create solutions we love (and can) to talk about!
