Who are we?

At Nosto, we’re on a mission to make every impression relevant. We’re a global leader in the booming e-commerce space and work with amazing customers like Dermalogica, FIGS, Muji and Flight Center.

Utilising behavioural data, deep integrations, machine-learning technology, and automated workflows, the Nosto Commerce Experience Platform makes it easy for brands and retailers to quickly deploy fully personalised commerce experiences at scale. We proudly foster a positive, diverse and supportive culture. We believe in always listening to our customers and achieving big things by accomplishing something small every day.

About the opportunity

We’re looking for a well-rounded Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to work closely with research & development teams and operate and improve our infrastructure.

At Nosto we believe in working together to reach a common vision. We're a team of talented & earnest professionals and we love a good challenge, but more importantly we also love to have fun while doing it.

Having offices in 9 different locations around the world means you'll be working in a multinational company together with colleagues from different countries and different backgrounds. We proudly foster a positive, diverse and supportive culture. One of the things we constantly get positive feedback from is a really good work & life balance at Nosto, be it for family matters or your personal interests.

What you would be working on

All of our environments are running in the cloud and our task is to make them scalable, available and secure. We are true believers in automation and build solutions that minimise manual configuration and operational burden.

As a company we value small, working pieces over a “work in progress”. Having the possibility to constantly push improvements to our service is really important for us and our team has even built our own deployment system that makes deployments fun again.

You will have the freedom to innovate and the independence to make impactful decisions. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of our services:

  • Hundreds of thousands of request per minute
  • Over a million concurrent visitors
  • Tens of terabytes of data

Due to the seasonality in ecommerce we have thrilling amounts of traffic during the shopping season. You will participate in ongoing work to ensure we can keep up with the traffic with lightning fast response times. 

You will also be working together with other Engineering teams to design, build and maintain our core databases and data storages that allow Nosto to scale to support millions of concurrent visitors. With a lot of data and a rapidly growing customer base we need to be smart with the technologies we use and sometimes challenge the earlier routes we've taken. 

What we expect

There's a lot of different technologies we use at Nosto and we're not expecting you to master all of them. Talent and the right attitude will definitely take you a long way. We also believe you would bring something new to the team with you. Here's some traits we're expecting you to have: 

  • Proven experience (7+ years) as an SRE/DevOps Engineer or in similar developer role
  • Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration tools
  • Good understanding of Linux systems administration, networking and security best practices
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, Go etc.)
  • Good communication and collaboration skills, with a commitment to mentoring and knowledge sharing
  • A pragmatic approach to solving problems and ensuring solutions are effective & efficient
