The ideal candidate is a passionate, driven and smart software engineer who takes pride in delivering excellent software, with a wide breadth of skills and some degree of depth in any specialty that can be applied to web application development.
We are looking for a fast learner, able to embrace a diverse and advanced technology stack, knowledgeable on the latest tech trends and best practices, pragmatic yet with an outstanding attention to details.
We will expect you to be:
- very proficient with any of the following:

- We do not put any particular emphasis on formal education: what matters most is what you can do, and how you do it.
Scope
You will be part of a world-class engineering team, contributing to the development of one project aimed at operating large-scale cloud, hybrid and bare-metal systems with a very specific and complex purpose: running mission-critical SAP software.
You will be onboarded to contribute to a well established and extensive codebase, participate in daily video-conference team meetings, collaborate with your peers via real-time chat, GitHub and/or other various tools, ultimately presenting your technical achievements to the relevant stakeholders in iterative time boxes.
You will be put on the driver seat and pull your tasks from a never-ending backlog of things to do: you will negotiate the acceptance criteria of the deliverables with your Product Owner and the Engineering Manager, and then agree with your peers the implementation details. You will be an active part in a cooperative decision making process to establish what to do, when and how.
Perks
- Working for an established software company comes with some usual benefits: competitive pay, established career paths, and all the hardware and software you’ll ever need.
- In addition to that, you will join a team with a remote-first mindset, geographically distributed across Europe, championing a healthy work/life balance via flexible working hours and vacation policies.
- Open-source is at the heart of SUSE: that means you will spend the majority of your work time on your public track record, contributing to the global FOSS community.
- Your personal growth will be fostered by conference sponsorship, internal exchange and mentoring programs, hackathons, tech talks and learning courses.
