🎯 The Role

At Visma e-conomic, we’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join our SRE team. You’ll help keep a business-critical SaaS platform performant, resilient, and always on for the 300,000+ customers who run their business on it. Our foundations are solid. The work is now shifting toward operating and scaling them, and toward a more automated, agent-assisted way of running operations. If you like turning firefighting into engineering and cutting toil through automation, this one’s for you.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of our cloud infrastructure, i.e. Kubernetes clusters and deployments, networking and traffic management, edge computing, resource access control, and much more.
• Build, maintain, and improve our CI/CD pipelines e.g ArgoCD, GitHub Actions alongside our Development Experience team and defining sensible defaults and templates for product development teams;
• Monitoring platform health through Datadog by setting up observability, dashboards, and alerts to catch issues before they become incidents;
• Responding to production incidents as part of a 24/7 on-call rotation, and building the runbooks and improvements that prevent recurrence;
• Manage IAM, secrets, and security configuration alongside our Security team across our infrastructure and third-party services;
• Supporting product development teams when they face infrastructure issues, sharing knowledge, and helping them operate their services reliably.

📌 Required Qualifications

This is a mid-level role for someone with 2 to 3 years in a SRE, DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure role, or 2 to 3 years as a developer with solid operations exposure.

• Solid experience with several of the following, and an interest in the rest:
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Containers and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• CI/CD pipelines
• Observability and monitoring (Datadog or similar)
• Relational and NoSQL databases
• Queuing and caching systems
• Cloud networking and security (IAM, secrets management)
• Programming and scripting (e.g. C#, Python)

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Proficiency in English.
• Previous experience with a major cloud provider (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• You stay calm when faced with an unfamiliar system failure, and you’re comfortable troubleshooting alongside the owning team until it’s resolved.
• You thrive in ambiguity. We can’t always predict the next incident, and task descriptions won’t always be fully spelled out.
• You can effectively collaborate with people in a distributed environment using async communication. You enjoy collaborating in small to mid sized groups and communicating async over Slack.
• Ready to join a 24/7 on-call rotation.

🎁 Benefits

• We love that you bring your ideas to the table: You will be part of a culture that favours experiments and value initiative, so it’s easy to get your ideas heard.
• Make an impact from day 1: We want you to experience meaning as much as you experience mastery through creating value that impacts people's everyday lives. And you get to influence how to go about creating that value with full autonomy of your work.
• Flexibility at all stages of life: Work is an important part of life. Yet, we know that you are much more than your job. We make room for people at all stages of life.
• We invest in your competence: When you step into Visma, opportunities from A-Z awaits. You will be met by engaged leaders that care for and support you, and take part in competence sharing and learning networks across Visma within.
• We embrace diversity and foster an inclusive environment: Our team thrives on different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas, creating a welcoming space where everyone belongs and can contribute their best.
• Above all, we are a team: Team spirit is key for us to deliver on our promises to people and society, but most importantly; to form a culture where people support and care for each other as much as we have tons of fun together
• Total compensation: 30k - 50k EUR (annual)
