Description
Your role
During the first months, the role will focus on the upgrade of postfix, cyrus, roundcube and mailman.
Collaboration and shared responsibility are at the heart of our success. We are looking for a senior technical linux-focused self-starter who can take robust responsibility for tasks, someone who thrives in an environment that values initiative and individual ownership. The responsibility will ultimately be at the team level, and we expect from our candidates that they are able to teach what they know, as well as learn from others. All team members actively contribute to sprint planning and reporting, and the scrum roles rotate across the team on a voluntary basis.
The Senior Site Reliability Engineer position will contribute to helping us move towards more automation of the production environment, while helping guide other members of the team and assisting with day-to-day work prioritisation.
Closing date: 9 June 2024
