Python Job: CI engineer

Are you a continuous improvement engineer with a passion for pipeline optimization? Do you want to work for an international SEO frontrunner with a growth mindset?

As a CI engineer you are the owner of the continuous integration pipelines at Yoast. You are constantly busy with optimizing and extending the pipelines. As a CI engineer you know how to estimate our developers' needs, developing and maintaining the pipelines that connect with their processes.

What are you going to do?

As a CI engineer you are part of a small, informal DevOps team consisting of three colleagues and you often work in close collaboration. As a team you are responsible for the transition from development to operations. The most important stakeholders are our senior developers and QA specialists.

• You manage the plugin development environment in Docker
• Management of Jenkins and creation of CI pipelines

• Migration of Jenkins setup to the cloud using Kubernetes

Who are you?

• You have a university degree or equivalent (at minimum), preferably in computer science, ICT, or a similar area.
• You have a minimum of three years experience in a similar role.
• Linux, Bash, and container management tools like Docker and Kubernetes hold no secrets for you.
• Basic programming experience with languages such as Python, Ruby or Javascript and code-style tools such as ESlint or PHPCS, and experience with CI platforms such as Travis and Jenkins.
• When something doesn't go to plan or you see room for improvement, your inner Sherlock or Cherry Holmes is on the case and you research solutions pro-actively.
• You have a good sense of what the stakeholders need in terms of technical implementation.
• You speak and write English fluently, preferably with a minimum proficiency of C1 level.
• Living in the UTC -1, UTC, UTC 1, UTC 2 or UTC 3 time zone is required.

• 25 vacation days (on the base of 40 hours). Next to that, you’ll get five volunteer days which you can spend helping out at the local soccer club for example. Or to supervise a school trip of one of your children.
• A bonus scheme.

• We have a great pension plan, which is fully paid by Yoast.
• Exercise and stay fit! We have our own gym and a personal trainer!
