At Hobbii, we’re offering you the chance to make your mark. As the main driver behind a major migration project, you'll play a pivotal role in our technical direction and gain invaluable experience. We believe in freedom with responsibility, and our work culture reflects that.

Whether you’re an early riser, a post-run starter, or a snooze-button champion, you’ll have the flexibility to work from where it suits you best — whether that’s from home or our Copenhagen HQ. Our office is full of energy, with regular social events and great coffee. In our latest eNPS survey, colleagues were one of the highest-rated things about working here — and they’re ready to welcome you.

The Quest

You’ll lead and further develop Hobbii’s DevOps practice — continuing our journey to a robust, scalable platform, while overseeing the migration from our existing services to a modern cloud setup.

The Road Ahead

  • Get familiar with our current infrastructure, tech stack, and teams

  • Lead our migration to a new cloud-native platform

  • Improve our CI/CD pipelines

  • Guide architecture and tooling decisions

  • Balance efficiency and security in our cloud and on-prem environments

  • Build and grow the DevOps function as we scale

Your Mastery

  • Proven experience designing secure, scalable cloud infrastructure

  • Strong knowledge of Linux, containers, and orchestration

  • Solid understanding of networking and hybrid-cloud environments

  • Proficient in Terraform, Docker, and AWS

  • Familiar with the AWS Well-Architected Framework

Our setup includes AWS (S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, ECS, CloudFormation, etc.). The new platform is built entirely with Infrastructure as Code, using Terragrunt to manage a multi-account AWS environment with EKS at its core. We also operate some on-prem workloads in our warehouse.

This role is located at our headquarters in Copenhagen NV, Denmark. Consequently, you must possess a valid EU work permit

Your Fellow Adventurers

You'll work closely with other Tech Leads and report to the CTO. Hobbii’s tech team consists of 30+ tech colleagues, and we’re growing. You’ll be central to establishing a strong DevOps function.

Working at
Hobbii

About five years ago, four tech entrepreneurs spotted a huge interest in yarn; Our growth journey started back in 2016 and consisted of four young guys and a pallet of yarn. They started to supply yarn and inspiration to knitting and crocheting enthusiasts around the world, and we haven’t looked back since. That developed into an adventure which so far has led us to the prestigious Børsen Gazelle award as Denmark's fastest growing company in 2020! 🥇 The recipe behind all of this is about us having fun and delivering results - often in that order!
