Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Berlin

We have recently opened our office in Berlin and are looking for another engineer to strengthen Avidity’s global infrastructure team. The team manages the cloud infrastructure of all our projects - including infrastructure design, implementation, maintenance, and monitoring as well as aiding the developers with, for example, Docker container configurations.

We are a specialized software development company with offices in Berlin, Stockholm, and Porto Alegre, Brazil. We have been active since 2012 and our customers are other tech companies that we help with special expertise or assist in projects that they do not have time for themselves. We have customers in various areas such as edtech, digital signage, transportation, events, and e-commerce.

An example of things we have helped our customers with is adapting a legacy train scheduling platform and fully containerizing the production environment with CI/CD pipelines on Azure. We use agile approaches such as clear stakeholders, run planning, peer review of technical design and code. Retro sessions are also something we bring to our customers to make sure we keep learning and perfecting our processes. We adapt to our customers’ needs and learn from their experiences, just as they do from ours.
