Junior DevOps Engineer in AMSTERDAM AREA

Semmtech is looking for a Junior DevOps engineer to strengthen our software development team.

Who we are

Semmtech provides data management and information management products and services (consulting). It is our goal to make data interconnected, universally accessible and useful in more ways than you can dream of. We foresee smarter means of information use and new business models for our clients, based on distributed and computer interpretable data. We want to liberate businesses from the current IT establishment’s lock-in and make their software and processes flexible and lean.

Our main product suite is a proprietary SaaS/PaaS solution called Laces based on semantic technology for Linked Data, to support our clients in sharing their data within and between organizations. We want our platform to become the number one Linked Data platform.

The role

As a Junior DevOps engineer, you closely work together with our Lead DevOps engineer and the rest of the development team at Semmtech and ensure our Laces products are available and performing the best they can within our cloud environment. Our application stack uses a Java- and Spring back-end, which exposes a REST API that is consumed by our front-end application, which in turn is developed using JavaScript and React.

The type of information users create and manage with our products, relies heavily on semantics and linked data. Semantics is basically applying logic and structure to how people register information. Linked Data is about how all information is interrelated based on the concepts of the world wide web. Incorporating these aspects into our software is intellectually and technically challenging and requires you to find the best approach to solving these challenges.

With your team you will be responsible setting up and managing efficient CI/CD pipelines for Laces, which will allow us to confidently and frequently release new versions of our products. We work in an agile manner using Scrum, in order to deliver and validate implemented features in short iterations. This requires close cooperation with all stakeholders: product owner, customers and/or end-users. While also ensuring our products are available and capable of performing as expected 24/7 for our customers.
