About the team:

The Mendix Cloud Backups team is responsible to build and maintain the complete solution which provides our customers the backups of their applications running on our infrastructure at any point. The team is responsible for this Backups infrastructure and the underlying services, creating thousands of backups every day, spread across 25+ production deployments across the globe, 24/7, with 4 nines of uptime.

Currently, the Backups solution is re-architected and we are in a migration process. This is a crucial change for our customers, as we need to make sure the stability and resiliency is maintained at the same level for the scale of our operations mentioned above.

At the same time the team is working on a major infrastructure change which is to move from Cloudfoundry to Kubernetes. This presents a rather unique opportunity to experience a period of hyper growth combined with the perks of being part of a larger company. You can expect ample opportunity for both personal and professional growth.
