DFDS is heavily accelerating our cloud journey for existing IT infrastructure, in a push to "left shift" responsibilities onto the respective development teams using Kubernetes and Cloud Native Foundation eco-system projects as our tooling of choice.As our Cloud Developer, you will join our platform group. The purpose of the group is to spread best practices on software development and making it easier, faster and safer for all of DFDS' developers to use Cloud features.
We see the platform as the tool that lessens the load for everybody else.
Developers in the platform group works alongside our expert Site Reliability Engineers. Some of the typical tasks you will be doing is building value-adding features into the core platform, design and run educational workshops and co-create new platform features alongside the SREs and other teams in DFDS.
There is also some bad stuff. DFDS is a hundred-and-fifties-something and while the IT is surprisingly not that old, there is the occasional nineties-era homegrown ball of mud terrorizing the hallways. You won't be asked to work on it, but you might be asked desperate questions on ideas for strangulating it.
Also, as the platform team, there are internal users who know where you sit. Your finest purpose is to help them preferably to help themselves next time.
