Your creative field
You’ll become an integral part of a new team which is going to be responsible for the creation and maintenance of Contabo's new product line. You’ll be part of a new team in a green field scenario making design, code and infrastructure decisions based on our product strategy and time-to-market.
We’re looking for brave, pragmatic risk takers who find a balance between speed and perfectionism, who participate in on-call but also proactively work with the team on improving the redundancy of our systems.
Your main focus is going to creating the business logic side of our new product line, which means authentication, exposing infrastructure primatives such as virtual servers, storage, networking but also accounts, project, feature flags and everything else that comes with it.
As the core team, you’ll be exposing our new product not just to our customers but other internal team who will be able to build on-top of our primatives to create more value on top like managed services.
