Requirements

5+ years of professional software development experience.
Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Go, Java, Python).
Experience with software engineering fundamentals, including testing methodologies and quality documentation.
Technical depth in building or managing distributed systems at scale.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical direction and help a team navigate through ambiguity and complex organizational changes.

Nice to Haves

Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Knowledge of database and stateful systems (e.g., MySQL, Kafka, HDFS, or Redis).
A mindset for automation—specifically a track record of replacing manual processes with self-healing systems.

Design, build, and maintain the automation frameworks that deploy and run all database engines globally, ensuring high availability across on-prem and multiple cloud environments.
Solve high-impact infrastructure problems where the solution isn't always obvious - such as automating kernel upgrades or storage cluster expansions across millions of containers.
Build and own services written in Go, focusing on system reliability, resource forecasting, and intelligent placement to maximize utilization.
Navigate the messiness of technical debt and shifting priorities, ensuring every code change is backed by rigorous testing while maintaining a bias for action.
Unblock fleet-wide efficiency by optimizing scheduling, with the goal of eliminating manual on-call operations through automation.
Lead through influence by mentoring peers and collaborating across global engineering sites (SF, Amsterdam, Seattle, Bangalore) to ship practical solutions at speed.
Engage with the local community by participating in or leading tech meetups hosted at our Aarhus office to share knowledge and drive engineering excellence locally.
