Zenniz builds the future of tennis with innovative smart court technology, and they are now looking for a (Senior) Cloud Engineer to join the forces to build and develop their cloud infrastructure. If you are a hands-on engineer with a passion for learning and implementing modern technologies, working with pioneering products, and you enjoy sports, this could be your opportunity!
The Zenniz smart court system and the accompanying service help tennis players, coaches, and clubs with automatic line calls, match statistics, video analysis, and gamified drills. The technical team of eight professionals is continuously developing the system and including features relating to some of the hottest trends such as gamification and live streaming. The cloud infrastructure enables automated software updates for multiple platforms - mobile app for players, web app for tennis clubs, as well as the central units and cameras on the courts.
In this role, you will play a key role in building the world's largest tennis database. You will develop the users' off-court experience of Zenniz by designing and developing the cloud-native technology stack. After getting onboard of the current cloud structure, your daily tasks will include further development of the current infrastructure, designing the architecture, and planning maintenance. We also hope you have ideas and vision on how to scale the Firebase architecture to carry new features and a growing user base. Moreover, you will have an input on the security matters considering video footage, user access management, and overall GDPR. This is a very independent role, but you will be working closely with the rest of the technical team, bouncing development ideas back and forth. However, in the future, Zenniz aims to grow the technical team even further, offering you a chance to take over a lead role.
Zenniz' tech stack includes technologies such as Flutter, Go, Google Cloud, and Firebase, but we do not necessarily expect you to have experience with these specific technologies. The key to success in this position is experience and a solid understanding of building and running cloud infrastructure that is capable of handling thousands of users, and the experience with some of the main cloud platforms. We also hope you are tech agnostic, willing to learn and try out new technologies to find the best match for Zenniz needs. Most importantly, we are looking for a passionate tech professional with a vision and insight into different technologies and solutions.
We welcome candidates with various levels of expertise to apply, and the title will be tailored according to your experience.
