Job description
Open source is our beating heart and it’s something that fuels our work and our culture. It’s where we began. It’s where we’ll always be. Our vision is to become the trusted open source data platform for everyone. We are a Cast of over 400 individuals (‘Crabs’) located across the globe. Why Crabs? Because we believe in thinking sideways. And right now, we’re looking for sideways-thinking Senior Golang Engineer .

The Engineering team at Aiven lies at the core of our organization. This is a great opportunity to become an integral team member as a Senior Golang Engineer.

We look for engineers who can work around problems by finding new angles. That means both creative and lateral approaches. Thinking sideways.

You will have the opportunity to collaborate with world-class tech people solving the toughest problems, where almost every project you work on is more complex and technically challenging than the previous one.

If you relish pushing your technical boundaries, come join us. Because if you can truly think sideways, you’ll never look back.
Who we are

So, how do we become the trusted open source data platform for everyone? By listening closely to our customers and taking action to ensure they achieve their business goals. You see, the software we create is merely a means of delivering value. Our thinking is customer-first. That’s why our customers are at the front and center of all we do. And in the spirit of sideways thinking, we’re by their side as well. Actively helping them solve their challenges. Collaborating. Sharing. And innovating. In other words, it really isn’t just about who we are. It’s about who our customers are – and where they want to be.
Our values

We want individuals who can embody our values of ownership, courage, and openness.

What does that mean in practice?

We take ownership of the problems we solve. What we do is about improving life for our customers, enabling them to meet their goals. So we own our decisions and mistakes. Sometimes that takes courage. But we don’t falter – we take on challenges with confidence. And right at our heart is openness. We’re always open to new ideas – from wherever and whoever they come.
About the role

We are looking for an experienced engineer to work on Infrastructure as Code tools for our Data and AI Platform, turning the best open source technologies into frustration-free cloud services. You’ll be part of a development team that is focused on our open-source Terraform Provider and Kubernetes Operator, which are both written in Go.

As we are looking for a senior engineer, we expect you to raise the bar for the team through technical mentorship. We’d love you to show us how we can improve what we do. Our teams are proud of what we build and value curiosity, healthy debate, and exchange of ideas.
What You'll Do:

Writing high quality, maintainable code and releasing quality features. Examples of previous features include enabling customers to provide their own SSL certificates for a service or advanced backup configurations.
Performing peer reviews and participating in technical discussions both at the team level and engineering level
Contribute to technical design of features, system architecture, and product roadmap
Helping investigate and resolve customer issues

What We're Looking For:
Must-have:

Excellent development skills in Go
Extensive experience in production software environments
Examples of ownership in designing and implementing technical deliverables in a team environment
Urge to write useful automated tests
Fluency in English, verbal and written

Nice to have:

Bonus points for experience in developing a Terraform Provider or Kubernetes Operator
Experience with one or more IaC solutions, preferably Terraform
Experience with orchestration tools (Kubernetes, OpenShift, etc.)
Experience with one or more public cloud hyperscalers: AWS, GCP, Azure
Product-mindedness, focusing on customer value

Don’t worry if your experience doesn’t line up perfectly – we still encourage you to apply! We believe in investing in our crabs’ professional growth.

If you ask us what’s the best thing about working for Aiven, many will probably say it’s the high concentration of talent from around the world that we have here. Enjoy the agile environment of a hyperscale scale-up where you can truly make an impact and have fun while at it.
