We are looking for talented and enthusiastic people to join our Cloud Platform team and use the best-fitting technologies to build our outstanding end-to-end asset inspection solution.
Sharper Shape’s CORE is our go-to platform for utilities to model their network. This digital model is based on data captured from drones and helicopters and is built with an extensive data processing pipeline including models created with Machine Learning.
The digital twin containing assets and vegetation can be further visualized and inspected on our Frontend as a 2D map or in 3D. Sharper Backend sits in between providing centralized data management and access to all of our data feeds from drones and helicopters, modeling and supporting our data processing pipelines.
We offer highly interesting and challenging tasks. Our domain includes capturing, geo-referencing, analyzing, and processing gigabytes of 3D point cloud and imaging data near real-time and visualizing results with a modern web UI.
We are looking for:
Experienced team member to our growing Cloud Platform team where we build and maintain the base of Sharper Shape’s cloud-based product offerings. As a team member, you will be participating in drafting key architectural decisions and working hands-on to implement those.
Your responsibilities as part of the cloud platform team:
- Architect cloud solutions to meet business requirements.
- Maintain (and refactor) existing cloud implementations to ensure following best practices and security.
- Hands-on participation in software development to integrate cloud-native solutions with existing applications.
- Build internal tooling and solutions for the rest of the development teams with a focus on great developer experience.
- Monitor and increase the cost-efficiency of the data processing pipelines
Needless to say, everything to our actual environments will be done by using version control (Git) and chosen infrastructure as code tools (mainly Terraform with some minor AWS CDK stacks).
Currently, our primary tech stack consists of somewhat industry-standard tools like HashiCorp Terraform, AWS EKS, GitHub Actions, FluxCD, and various other AWS services like SQS and Lambda. As the Cloud Platform team, we’re constantly evaluating new ways of implementing our duties while at the same time focusing on general maintainability.
Preferably the person we’re looking for has:
- Opinions backed by prior experience to how solutions should be built
- Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider platform (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Experience building cloud-native solutions where components are treated as a kettle as opposed to a pet
- Knowledge of containers and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes or cloud provider-specific platforms.
- Understanding at least one imperative programming language, which helps you to understand the rest of the languages in our toolbox.
- Great communication skills in English
Here is what we can offer you:
- Competitive salary depending on your experience
- Position with a lot of flexibility and possibility to focus and grow in specific areas
- A remote-friendly and multi-cultural environment where you can be yourself
- When you’re visiting the office to have a great face-to-face time with your colleagues, there are electric vehicle charging capabilities to help you to cut your carbon footprint
The position is preferably based in the Helsinki area, Finland, but working remotely within the EU area is also possible.
We will read applications upon arrival and the position will be filled as soon as a suitable person is found. For further information, please contact Juhani Helske, by sending an email to juhani.helske@sharpershape.com.
