First line technical support

About Elastisys
Elastisys provides cloud native solutions and managed services that empower our customers to run their applications and services in a scalable, resilient way in public or on-prem clouds. We are active Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) members, Sweden’s first Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP) and open-source contributors.
We are currently 35 full-time employees from 11 nations. We are marathon runners, vegans, devoted fathers and mothers, board and video game enthusiasts, coffee drinkers, pilots, black-belt wearers, dog walkers and quiet evening likers. Our 30 engineers cover the entire experience spectrum from juniors, to senior engineers with PhD degrees in cloud computing.
What we do
We develop and maintain our own open source Kubernetes distribution, Elastisys Compliant Kubernetes, that allows companies to be agile even in highly regulated environments, such as EdTech, FinTech and MedTech. Elastisys Compliant Kubernetes is also available as a Managed Service, where we operate the platform on selected cloud providers. In addition, we offer additional managed services such as PostgreSQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ.
We regularly work across most of the cloud native ecosystem and with projects and tools like:
Automation tools such as Kubespray, Ansible, Helm and Terraform
Security and compliance tools such as Falco, Harbor and OPA
Observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Opensearch.
CI/CD tools such as ArgoCD
Programming, scripting, and templating languages such as go, bash, mustache, and yaml
Highly-available databases such as Redis and Postgres

Our managed service offering is growing and we are now looking for talented technicians to staff our 1st line support.

In addition, we want you to identify common issues and work with our engineers to continually improve our managed service offerings.
