About Geoblink
We’re a fast growing startup that has already raised close
to $8 million in investment from leading venture capital firms, and have
been named by Bloomberg as one of 50 most promising startups in the
world to look out for. Our goal is to revolutionise the world of
Location Intelligence and the way businesses think about, and act upon
location intelligence data.
At Geoblink we are proud to say that we use the latest technologies to
find solutions to real world problems businesses face when trying to
expand their network or improve their distribution process. We leverage
GIS technologies and Big Data to create a beautiful map-based user
interface that not only provides lots of awesome statistics but also a
great user experience. Our systems are built using an SOA approach that
allows us to perform multiple deployments per day. We <3 monitoring,
pull requests, continuous deployment and automated testing. The trunk of
our stack is PostgreSQL, Node.js and Angular running on Azure, but our
architecture is language-agnostic. We move fast but put a lot of thought
into the design of our architecture so that it's simple and scalable.
We write clean, flexible code to produce great software that solves the
needs of our clients. You can visit our Tech blog to learn more about
the projects and technologies we use at Geoblink.
Who We’re Looking To Recruit
We’re looking for an enthusiastic DevOps Engineer who loves Linux and hates Windows!😉
If you are the type of Engineer that is motivated to work in a
fast-growing startup set to do BIG things then this is the right

supporting and monitoring systems, cloud infrastructure and building,
releasing and testing systems.
We are a small, collaborative team who love what we do and want to find
someone equally as passionate to join us and develop their career
further. Working in a startup environment gives us more opportunities

most days you will be working on configuring the different components
that Geoblink is built upon, doing all kinds of “DevOps” tasks,

researching new infrastructure technologies that can help us grow bigger
and faster!

productivity. We trust our employees to use this policy responsibly.
