CloudBackend is about to launch a revolutionary new decentralized database service, The Singularity Database. The service makes developers considerably more productive with all technical challenges to run, manage, and build APIs for the database in the cloud solved from the get go, while also keeping data in sync with connected clients to simplify application development. This enables any front-end developer to build the entire solution and become a full-stack developer, while removing boring and tedious tasks from full-stack developers. It is a transformative technology for web developers, mobile app developers, and IoT developers. It is a key technology to enable decentralization of data, edge computing, and the shift into using a database as a service, instead of manually installing and running a database on cloud infrastructure.

Work description

As a system administrator at CloudBackend your focus will be on maintaining and developing physical and digital infrastructure for the platform. You will work with systems that are local as well as distributed across the world. Your responsibilities will cover everything from implementation and update of hard- and software, to security work and data center architecture.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of building a unicorn company and we will offer employees stock options. The CloudBackend team has previously invented and launched services such as iCloud and been behind brands such as MyCloud.

With the track record of being behind two of the world's most well-known cloud brands, it is time to create a third and we are looking for coworkers to participate in this exciting journey.

Responsibilities

• Manage the network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and threats.
• Monitor live system and improve automated monitoring.
• Orchestration of decentralized containers across many edge locations.
• Troubleshoot issues to improve uptime.
• Maintain and upgrade software and less frequently hardware.
• Automate distributed deployment and configuration of our platform
• Manage the network across all data center locations (cloud, peering and co-location).
• Work with improving performance and the data center architecture of the PaaS.
• Manage supporting internal development systems.
• Manage systems across on-premise, co-location, peering and cloud infrastructure.

CloudBackend's The Singularity Database is a decentralized, policy-driven database that lowers latency by storing data in the cloud, in the edge and on edge units distributed. The service is completely unique, with the intention to be used by millions of users across the world.

With CloudBackend a startup or application developer will be able to launch a global service with good performance across the globe that also meets all data regulation acts, without it requiring massive development resources. Application and web developers that normally spend a lot of time on data handling between clients and backend can now instead put those resources on improving the user experience and system functionality. CloudBackend's customers will thus be able to launch better services faster, with less resources, where they don't have to bother with mundane data plumbing, data synchronization or management of distributed databases in the cloud.

YOUR PROFILE

We are looking for coworkers that want to participate in building something unique that will affect and be used by millions of people across the world. Coworkers that care about quality and take pride in their work. We are simply looking for coworkers that want a job where they can make a difference and that feel responsible for finding the best solution to a problem.
