Cloud DevOps Engineer at Knab

Maintain, improve, scale!

Knab was founded in 2012 because we wanted to do things differently. Simpler, smarter and more advantageous for our customers. Because we believe we can help everyone maximize their financial affairs. "Feel at ease when it comes to your finances. Every day." By combining smart technical solutions with a healthy dose of human intelligence, we create financial services that really meet your needs. Add to that some of the sublime personal service from our employees and you end up with something that's truly unique to the world of finance. From banking to insurances, we've got your back!

All our colleagues have one thing in common: we each try to help customers maximize their money matters seamlessly and proactively. We're open minded, positive and committed to our customers. So, you gain control over your financial affairs.

In a nutshell

You will be optimizing our AWS Cloud environment. Together with the engineers in your team you keep our systems up-to-date, secure, and fast, to ensure Knab is in control. Analyzing and adequately following up on incidents and problems will be part of your job. You analyze problems and help determine a solution (or path). Finding and implementing the best solutions (sometimes in consultation with suppliers) will be part of your responsibilities. Of course, you will be working on optimizing our Continuous Delivery. Within the platform team the main focus will be on developing Knab's Cloud capability that is being utilized by the value streams.

The team

You will be working in one of our multidisciplinary Agile teams within the Daily Use value stream. The team focusses on developing and maintaining the proposition and the underlying infrastructure (private and public Cloud, CI/CD and monitoring). The value streams contain multiple Agile teams focusing on the same customer proposition and are responsible for the end product delivered to our customers. Within one of the value streams, you report to the IT Chapter Lead. At Knab you will have the autonomy to pursue your own initiatives and responsibilities.

At Knab we are organized alongside Value Streams, consisting of multiple Scrum teams, operations departments and a support team. There are two Value Streams organized around our Customer Propositions: Daily Use and Financial Freedom. Next to the valuestreams there is also the supporting stream: IT Functions and Foundations. By organizing this way: we achieve more focus and a higher speed of delivery.
