Automation Engineer at Schuberg Philis

Are you ready to transform a complex landscape through automation?

Please note: We are not able to consider candidates who are not living and working in the Netherlands. At this moment we are not providing relocation sponsorships.

Are you a seasoned T-shaped engineer with a strong background in VMware, Windows, Linux or Clouds, who understands the importance of automation? If you thrive on innovative problem-solving and thinking beyond the conventional, this opportunity might be perfect for you!  

We are seeking passionate engineers focused on automation to join one of our self-steering customer teams. Here, you'll be part of a multi-disciplinary team of experts who take full responsibility for a customer environment to ensure our 100% customer satisfaction. We handle complex systems that are business-critical using the latest technologies. The team is responsible for the Plan, Build and Run phases of the environment and takes care of the full stack. Private cloud, operating systems, storage, networking, monitoring, automation, technical application management, security, compliancy – we handle it all in the team. No silos here!  

As an Automation Engineer, you'll join the customer team, which is currently being shaped. Including the opportunity to shape the long-term engagement with the customer.  You have a strong security mindset. Are familiar with different platforms and you will ensure it is up-to-date and available. Engage in both critical operations and project work. Automation is key, so you’ll do a lot of Infrastructure-as-code in Terraform and general scripting in PowerShell or Python (or anything else that makes sense!). 

Who are we looking for?  

We prefer candidates deeply rooted in the Windows ecosystem who have witnessed the transformative impact of software on infrastructure.  

Ideally, you have experience with:  

• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, git, pipelines)  
• Linux knowledge 
• Virtualization (VMware) 
• vSphere 
• vCenter 
• NSX 
• Automated Template Generation 
• Configuration management tools. We use Ansible but Chef, PowerShell DSC or Puppet helps.  

 It would be nice if you also bring some experience in the area of:  

• Windows knowledge (High Availability Clustering, Hardening)  
• Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)  

If your goal is not only to implement solutions but also to enhance stability and performance while prioritizing security, we would love to hear from you!  

What can you expect?

At Schuberg Philis, you’ll join a community of engineers with an awesome combination of exceptionally high security standards, an infatuation with automation, and the power to make a positive, sustainable impact on customers’ business. Due to the nature of our customer engagements, there is no pressure on (billable) hours, but we focus on quality and impact – or how we like to call it “freedom & responsibility”. You know best how to deliver the most value.

You’ll also be embedded in a company committed to helping colleagues grow as people and professionals through training, opportunities for knowledge-sharing, and good old-fashioned fun.

Our offices are high quality workspaces, and we go way beyond what is expected. We have productive equipment, good food and drinks, team outings, family days, labs to experiment with innovative technologies, etc. We’re very active in the AWS community, attending and organizing meetups and conferences, and organizing internal knowledge sharing events.

Our indefinite contracts are designed to take care of you both on the job and off. For more information about our perks, check out our What we offer page.
