SumUp enables businesses to get paid easily, process orders quickly, sell online instantly and manage their money more efficiently. SumUp creates the tools businesses need to make their business and their customer experience thrive!
At the ‘Point of Sale Lite’ tribe, we help small merchants facilitate their in-store operations and bring them closer to their customers. We make it easy for them to run their business with features such as a Product Catalog, Inventory Management, Business Analytics, Compliance Support, Loyalty Features, and more.
As the Lead DevOps/Production Software Engineer in the POS Lite tribe at SumUp, you’ll create and maintain the tooling development teams need to succeed operationally as they build and run their services. You will do that together with a Production Software Engineer, whom you will lead and support in their personal development.
As the DevOps team, you’ll work shoulder to shoulder with the tribe’s teams as well as the central Platform tribe.
We’re building a diverse team with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds, so we especially encourage folks from underrepresented groups to apply – your unique perspective is just as important to us as your technical skills.
What you’ll do:
Move up and down the software stack, writing both application and infrastructure-level code
Advocate for operational discipline (performance, reliability and security in the services we provide)
Enjoy both teaching and learning on the job
Lead another Production Software Engineer in their daily work and personal development
Participate in regular on-call rotation for production incident response
Love pair-programming (even if you don't do it all the time)
Reduce complexity and cognitive overhead in systems and services
Bring clarity to deeply technical topics when addressing stakeholders
Have a good sense of humor about yourself and your work
You’ll be great for this role if:
You approach your colleagues with deep empathy and respect
You prioritize your work with the end customer in mind
You feel comfortable with test-driven infrastructure and distributed tracing
Analytics techniques for understanding constantly-shifting production environments are well known to you
You are proficient in JVM languages like Java/Kotlin and/or Golang
You act self-confident even in the face of a high rate of change
You manage your own time & priorities and help your directs to do so
You commit to "outcomes", not "outputs"
It’s a plus if you’ve got prior experience with:
GitHub Actions
Kubernetes
Major cloud vendors, especially AWS
Security and/or Compliance-as-Code
Safe shell scripting practice
Service meshes and their kin
