As Switzerland’s leading digital hub, we provide our media and platforms with enabling technology solutions, to drive their businesses. We stand for interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and dynamic development.
We are on the move – and want to keep moving. We are farsighted. We are proactive. We are courageous. We are TX.
TX Services is a subsidiary of the TX Group. To expand our Ricardo Belgrade team at our TX Services site in Belgrade, we are currently looking for a smart, talented, and dedicated DevOps Engineer.
Today, Ricardo is the largest online marketplace in Switzerland with over 2.3 million listed items and more than 4 million users. For more than 20 years, we have helped our users to find a new home for their idle objects. Ricardo is the paradise of bargain hunters, the happiness of collectors, and therefore second-hand is our DNA.
While you were reading this text, four articles have already been sold on our platform.
You will be part of Ricardo Engineering, a remote-friendly department of 50 engineers located in three countries (Zug, Switzerland - Belgrade, Serbia - Sophia Antipolis, France). We work cross-functionally, with around five teams active on different topics at once.
As a DevOps Engineer at Ricardo you’ll help us to provide a reliable, secure, and easy to use platform for all engineers. A DevOps Engineer has three hats to wear:
- We maintain and improve the platform Ricardo is running on,
- We create tooling for automation, reporting, and to increase developer productivity,
- We help design reliable services.
For this position, we are hiring in Serbia and France.
What we are looking for
We're a group of seven engineers with a diverse skill set. Besides the usual tools for infrastructure management we have a few internal tools, written in Go and Python. We are looking for someone with experience in either language, who will be a primary maintainer for one of those tools and has a solid foundation with troubleshooting systems.
In addition, you have the knowledge to debug issues on Linux. For example, you know how to find the root cause of pods that have been killed by Kubernetes.
You strive to reduce toil and you don't have to be told what to do. When you notice a problem, you don't look the other way; you either fix it or come up with a plan. You are curious and want to understand how things work. You are not afraid to ask for help and you are willing to help others.
DevOps Engineer is a complex role and there are many different areas of expertise. Nobody can know everything but you should be familiar with some of the tools and technologies in the following list:
- Go or Python development experience (2+ years)
- Kubernetes
- Istio
- Prometheus and Thanos
- Terraform
- Helm or Kustomize
- CI/CD (CircleCI)
- Tracing (Jaeger)
- Logging
- Keycloak
- Cloudflare
- GCP (or any other Cloud provider)
How do we work
At Ricardo we work in six weeks cycles and so does the DevOps team. Work in our team is usually assigned to two people so that you always have a sparring partner. This gives you the flexibility to pair when needed. It is also a great way to share the knowledge in the team.
We regularly have short (15-30min) internal lightning talks, where we show each other what we worked on and we've got Hackdays.
Because the bidding on Ricardo never stops, we have to keep the lights-on 24/7. For that we have a mature on-call organization. Joining the on-call rotation is voluntary but as a DevOps Engineer you should be willing to join the rotation when needed.
