Working Student

**About Staffbase**:
We're headquartered in Chemnitz, Germany, with offices in many locations throughout the world, including New York, London, Berlin and Dresden. Our international team counts more than 750 employees from 45+ nationalities and we have a growing base of 2200+ customers that want to transform their employee experience. We are rapidly scaling, post-Series E ($115 million funding), have strong-growing revenue, and our customers love us.

At Staffbase, we are experiencing incredible growth. Year after year, we multiply not only in terms of headcount and customers but also in terms of traffic and resource usage. Our growing customer base actively uses their respective employee experience apps on a daily basis. We build hundreds of these custom-branded apps, store vast amounts of data, and handle numerous HTTP requests.

To achieve this, we rely on Kubernetes and other tools from the CNCF Landscape, such as Istio, VictoriaMetrics, FluxCD and Terraform. Together with our development teams we operate a service-oriented architecture that communicates over REST, gRPC, and Kafka. Furthermore, we store data in multiple databases, including MongoDB, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL. In addition to that, we also work on our own tools and services, such as our observability platform, which we mostly develop with Go.

To support our growing infrastructure, we are looking for a self-driven working student interested in site reliability engineering. You will contribute to ensuring the reliability, availability, scalability, and sustainability of our platform.
