Are you a data-crunching DevOps/Backend Engineer, who wants to use cutting edge technology to build an amazing product used by thousands, processing billions of data points at incredible speed?

Morningscore is a Danish startup, founded in 2018, with a clear mission of becoming one of the 3 most popular SEO tools globally. Unlike competitors such as Ahrefs and Semrush, Morningscore gamifies the SEO experience for roughly 1000 customers across 30+ countries (and growing), which is why our service is rapidly increasing in popularity. Our product is not only loved by our customers, it's also 100% custom built by our amazing team.

We are currently a small team of 9 talented and quirky colleagues, diverse with 4 different nationalities. The majority work from our HQ in Odense, but a few colleagues work remotely. We don’t bulls**t when we say that we’re a klose-knit team (family) and that we have a LOT of fun. At Morningscore you’ll get your own personal space suit when joining and free access to the company’s purple tractor 🚜💜🧑‍🚀 (license required).

About the role 🤝

As our new DevOps/Backend Engineer you will be a critical part of our ambitious SaaS team, reporting directly to our CTO, Bjarne. We use state-of-art technology to do some intense data crunching, with billions of entries in our DB. We might be a small startup, but the service we’re working on is gigantic and incredibly powerful. We work with Open Source and our 100% custom made platform is built using Node.JS, ReactJS, MongoDB, and Apache Cassandra. Unintentionally, we run on the same stack as Netflix. 

We’re independent workers but love collaborating to crack big challenges. With a flat organizational structure you’ll get a lot of creative freedom in this role and get the chance to have a massive impact on both our products and technologies. 

This is first and foremost an onsite position in Odense. However, if you think you are the perfect candidate for this role and you’re not based nearby, we still encourage you to apply as long as you have the chance to work from our office at least 10 days per year. We’ll take care of your travel, hotel and food expenses. 

Typical tasks you will be happy to take on 🤖

• MongoDB and how to cluster it

• System and infrastructure monitoring and maintenance

• Backend development tasks in Node.JS and PHP

• Database administration and optimization (Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis)

• Updating and configuring Linux servers

• Monitoring and configuring Kubernetes

• Improving upon a GitLab CI/CD pipeline workflow

• Optimizing server resources

What you will need to thrive in this role 👊

Our main requirements are strong experience with Linux servers and Backend Development - any other relevant skills will ease the learning curve and make you a more relevant candidate. Examples include;

• Strong javascript knowledge

• Experience working with Laravel and PHP

• Experience with Kubernetes

• Experience with Terraform and Ansible

• Experience with Rancher (1.6 + 2.x)

• Experience with MongoDB

• We care deeply about your career. We invest in our people and aspire for them to become successful both professionally and personally. 

• You will be a major factor in our growth from startup to scale-up, working alongside a crazy ambitious team that is building highly scalable, world-class products.

• Flexible work - work from the office, from home, from the beach, or from space. You decide! 

• A flat organization where you can be your own boss and be fully autonomous from the get-go. 

• A fun social group where we treat each other like family, not colleagues. Tons of get-togethers both inside and outside of work. You’ll laugh every single day, guaranteed.
