DFDS is heavily accelerating our cloud journey for existing IT infrastructure, in a push to “left shift” responsibilities onto the respective development teams using Kubernetes and Cloud Native Foundation eco-system projects as our tooling of choice. 

As our Cloud Developer, you will join our platform group. The purpose of the group is to spread best practices on software development and making it easier, faster and safer for all of DFDS’ developers to use Cloud features. 

We see the platform as the tool that lessens the load for everybody else.

Developers in the platform group works alongside our expert Site Reliability Engineers. Some of the typical tasks you will be doing is building value-adding features into the core platform, design and run educational workshops and co-create new platform features alongside the SREs and other teams in DFDS.

There is also some bad stuff. DFDS is a hundred-and-fifties-something and while the IT is surprisingly not that old, there is the occasional nineties-era homegrown ball of mud terrorizing the hallways. You won’t be asked to work on it, but you might be asked desperate questions on ideas for strangulating it. 

Also, as the platform team, there are internal users who know where you sit. Your finest purpose is to help them… preferably to help themselves next time. 

Main responsibilities

As a cloud developer, you will drive the adoption of cloud best practices in DFDS by developing our platform, coaching and training colleagues and helping to steer a pragmatic path forward through new, valuable technologies and hyperbole.  

In addition you will

• Develop code in C#, Python, and Golang 
• Use and build out continuous integration and deployment 
• Engage, coordinate, and collaborate activities within and across agile teams 

 

Turning the focus to you

We expect you to have solid development and cloud experience. Knowledge and practical experience with all the following technologies and architectures is not a requirement but a nice to have - we do however expect that you have experience with at least some of them: 

• AWS – or Google Cloud Platform – knowledge is a plus  
• Domain Driven Design fundamentals 
• Tech-wise, we use Docker, containers and Kubernetes. Relational databases. Structured logging, REST APIs, and Kafka heavily 
• Infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform or Crossplane) 
• React. We are not heavy on frontend development but there is some. 

Our cloud environment is heterogeneous, and we use a palette of languages as mentioned and tools, such as Git, Crossplane and FluxCD. 
Most users are on Windows, but the cloud tech is often Linux-based. We value flexibility of mind and willingness to learn over extensive experience
