About the job

As for our software, the whole stack runs on Python, we expect you to have at least basic knowledge of functions, classes, and OOP.

You will work with people directly at our datacenters, with our support teams, and with our product teams to find ways to optimize deployment workflow, improve data gathering and DCIM integration, and to provide software solutions for pre-production machines.
