Responsibilities and work environment

Voima is looking for a Senior DevOps / Infrastructure engineer with a keen eye for automation and exceptional knowledge of the current IT landscape. You enjoy building solutions that ease the other developers' work by automating tasks and building pipelines. You will be mainly working on CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure builds all the way from physical servers, VM's to clusters in Kubernetes. You will be architecting and planning with other developers on how Voima's infrastructure is built and managed in order for it to be maintainable, scalable, resilient and secure. You will be growing the team around you to run production infrastructure in several cloud deployments as well as physical on-premise servers. We offer great growth potential. From this position there are direct routes to leading future teams, project management positions and head of development departments, if that interests you.


You will be working in a small team of in-house developers with a range of differing skills. You will be mainly working with small group of developers on your tasks and the work can vary from coding infrastructure and DevOps projects completely independently or creating CI/CD pipelines for other teams to deliver automated testing and development. Our software engineering teams follows the SCRUM method. Our software engineering team enjoys innovating and coming up with new innovative solutions to increase security, ease development or automate processes.


We aim for healthy KPIs to track development: we feel like, for example, measuring work by hours does not reflect developer productivity, nor does the number of closed tickets. It is somewhere in between.


The challenges we face in the infrastructure side vary from scaling of global transaction processing to issues of security, automation, identity management, automatically scaling systems and many others. The goal of DevOps processes is to automate our internal and external infrastructure scaling with minimal system administration.



Tech stack

Our goal is to simplify and reduce as much as possible - we think that long gone are the days of traditional manual system administration. We try to keep the IT debt to a minimum and do things properly the first time, instead of contriving hacky solutions just to meet a deadline. We deeply believe in creating solid infrastructure instead of mountains of code on the development side. We strive to be independent and always critically evaluate if we truly need third-party dependencies in a project. We care deeply about the security of our software and we always evaluate how any solution affects our security posture.


In short: Simplify, reduce dependencies and automate.


As regards to tech stack, here are some of the technologies we use for DevOps and Infrastructure:

- Terraform and Packer

- Git, Gitlab CI/CD

- Docker

- Kubernetes, Helm

- Cloud providers (AWS, VMware etc.)

- Rancher and Harvester

- On-premise hardware


Requirements

- At least 5 years of experience in professional software development

- Be a good communicator

- You can understand complex concepts

- You know where to look for solutions

- You can learn new concepts quickly

Voima Gold

Voima Gold is an innovative fintech company offering account services for global clients. We have over a thousand clients from over 30 countries around the world. In the last couple of years we have built our own web- and mobile applications as well as our own vault in Helsinki, Finland. Last year, our revenue was 19.2 million euros. Currently, we hire 19 full-time employees and our company is constantly growing. Our office is in the heart of Helsinki. The Voima Account was created to counter the unfairness of the banking system. Regular banks do not safeguard people’s money in a safe manner. In case the bank fails to balance their operations, the clients face the consequences and lose their savings. This has happened already in Cyprus, and the instability of the financial world makes bank collapses likely to happen elsewhere as well. On top of this, creating more and more money in the recent years has led to euros and other currencies losing their value. On the other hand economics and history have shown that gold retains its value. Gold copes better with crisis and economic downturns.The people who have owned physical gold have retained the value of their money and purchasing power, unlike people who have only stored the majority of their money in a bank as digital numbers. This is why we offer accounts with physical gold holdings. We believe it is fair, that our clients get to keep the value of their money and purchasing power now and for generations to come.
