The Configuration Environment is used to host, build, test and deploy the individual customer's product configuration.

Currently, the work involves porting the application to the AWS cloud. The Configuration Environment has historically existed as a collection of virtual machines, and we are currently working on replicating this setup in the cloud. We are also working on moving the services into a Kubernetes context. Most of the daily work involves writing Bash and Python scripts that manage the platform, which consists of a GitLab instance that serves the CI/CD processes and various connecting components. Each customer has their own such instance and can modify various aspects themselves. Our team create and maintain the foundation of this setup.

A good understanding and experience of agile methodology is highly valued. We also think you are driven, committed, have a positive attitude and are comfortable with continuous team growth and having fun. You will have great opportunities to influence, learn and grow as a software developer and individual. We offer several education and training possibilities to get under the hood of our product solutions technically and also from a customer point of view.
