Zürich, Schweiz VSHN AG Vollzeit

VSHN, pronounced like “vision,” is Switzerland's leading partner for enabling DevOps, cloud-native development, and agile IT operations. We empower software teams with self-service products like APPUiO and Application Catalog, as well as tailored solutions built on our Managed OpenShift product and standardized building blocks leveraging GitOps, CI/CD, VM-based services, and various support and operations subscriptions. Most of these services are provided as managed services by VSHN, ensuring applications are testable, deployable, scalable, and operable in any cloud or on-premise environment.

Your new role: Junior Kubernetes Services Engineer

As a Junior Kubernetes Services Engineer in our Application Catalog (AppCat) Team at VSHN, named Schedar, you will assist in engineering and maintaining our AppCat services. You’ll work on requirements engineering, consulting, building new services, and improving existing ones.

Your key focus will be developing new AppCat services and enhancing existing ones using your knowledge of Go programming, the Kubernetes Operator SDK, and Jsonnet. Working with tools like Crossplane, you’ll gain hands-on experience in Kubernetes at a CKAD or KCNA level, as well as Linux and scripting, to contribute effectively to our Scrum Team.

In addition to development tasks, you’ll assist with operations work, including responding to alerts, resolving customer tickets, debugging issues, and communicating effectively with customers.

Responsibilities summarized

  • Build and maintain services: Work with your team to develop new AppCat services and improve existing ones.
  • Customer support: Provide timely support to customers using AppCat services.
  • Bug fixing: Identify and resolve bugs in AppCat services.
  • Operations: React to alerts, debug issues, and ensure reliable service delivery.
Company culture

As an organization, we thrive on diversity and self-management, orienting ourselves on Agile and Sociocracy 3.0 principles. We emphasize transparency, collaboration, and common goals, valuing Scrum-like workflows in our tech teams. Decisions at VSHN are made collaboratively, valuing reasoned arguments over hierarchical positions - we trust in self-responsibility in everyone, in people who share the responsibility of their team, and that decisions happen with the subject-matter experts, in our teams where we face the day-to-day challenges while getting the best possible support from the wider organization.

Read more about how VSHN is unique in our handbook - one example of how much we value Transparency and live open source as an organization.

  • We live in a culture that enables working remotely and from home (even before COVID-19), we have mandatory on-site events a few times a year, and in general, we also enjoy meeting at the office to connect and socialize.
  • Like all VSHNeers, you’ll receive a fixed monthly salary and phantom stock options in the company in a fully transparent salary system.

Does this sound interesting? Then apply now, and let’s meet for a casual (virtual) cup of coffee soon
