We are a young and fast-growing start-up from Utrecht focusing on the e-commerce and online marketing sectors. Channable was founded 6 years ago and developed into a company with an international team of 150 innovative and enthusiastic professionals.

We are now looking for a DevOps engineer who likes the challenge of a continuously rescaling environment.
We have a strong engineering culture with a focus on correctness, reliability, and maintainability of our code. We have a number of services written in Python and in Haskell. Each service exposes a REST API and our services are composed together in a service-oriented architecture in which we can continuously improve each service.
We employ a continuous integration pipeline that allows us to quickly and safely deploy features, updates and fixes several times per day. Our infrastructure is running on Google Compute Engine and we strive to automate each part of the software development process as much as possible.

We are looking for someone who can be proactive, autonomous, and keen to be a part of our DevOps team.
