Our Product
At this position you will work on the Open Build Service (OBS).
A massive Ruby on Rails/Perl collaboration platform to maintain, build
and distribute
software. It helps SUSE Engineering, our partners and community
developers to ship software for a wide range of operating systems and
hardware architectures.
The OBS makes it easy to harness the power of the open source

Our Team
At SUSE, we have a dedicated team of engineers who work, as
part of the global free software community, to continually improve the
quality and functionality
of the Open Build Service and to provide SUSE/openSUSE developers with
the enterprise-quality service they've come to expect. This is our team,
the Build
Solutions team.
The team shares responsibility for the complete product life cycle. From
planning, over software development, to delivering improvements to the
customers. All members collaborate across all disciplines and venture
into areas of expertise other than their own. We value the agile

full stack web development seriously and practice the DevOPS culture.

Our Values
We value our customers. By understanding peoples' goals, needs and their limitations. Everything we build and change,
everything we do, we do for the
people using our product.
We value quality. By taking due time, avoiding shortcuts, pacing
ourselves. By being critical of what we do and by welcoming critique
from others. We always
leave our code base, processes and team
better than we have found it.
We value responsibility. By taking charge of our objectives and
priorities. By speaking our minds, by being honest and frank with each
other.
We are the change we want to see.
We value ownership. Instead of hiding behind processes, or driving relentlessly towards individual goals, we take o
wnership of the entire thing. We do that
when things go right but also when things go wrong. No matter if they
were in, or out of our control. No matter if that hurts and bruises our
ego. It was
never anyone else's fault, it was ours. We believe
ownership is respect.
We value collaboration. By working together toward goals, in a
horizontal structure with flexible leadership. We do not only share
results with each
other, but how we get there. We constantly reflect our thoughts,
communication and behavior and how they bring everyone else forward.
We win together, we lose together.
We value community. By curiously exploring what other people inside and
outside this industry think, do and produce. We expose ourselves to all
kinds of ideas and openly share our own views with others.
We value diversity, pluralism and freedom of choice. We think
differences, not uniformity, in origin, circumstance and experience make
people, the practice of
software development and in the end, our product interesting. We believe
it takes a diverse set of people to produce a product truly useful for
everyone.
We value personal growth. By continuously learning about other people,
technology, development methodologies and efforts. We are open minded,
always
evolving adventurers.
