Job description

Where you can help us:

The company has grown from consulting, it now also has teams of developers with different needs. Nevertheless, security and resilience are still mandatory. Our infrastructure needs to be rebuilt, not only to fit our current growth, but also to include future projects we have for our products. As such, you will be part of a critical team between production and engineering, providing, maintaining and supporting the underlying tools eveyrone will be using, whether us internally or our customers.

Your day to day work:

At Quarkslab, we are engineers building security products. The first one is Epona, which aim at protecting applications developped by our customers. The other one is Irma, which is a security orchestrator focusing for now on malware analysis. These 2 product teams will be your clients and you will provide the proper infrastructure for them, for their CI, testing, delivery, and so on.

More generally, you will be in the team dealing with the global infrastructure for the whole company: its firewalls, authentication servers, email, IRC (yes IRC ;-), VPN and a few others. You will help rebuild a strong and robust internal infrastructure, easy to maintain and update.

Last but not least, you will be working on a new online service we intend to launch, where you will make sure the online infrastructure is up and running. Scalability and reliability will be the challenges here.

Who you are:

• You are experienced with Git

• You are experienced with containers and virtualization tools

• You are experienced with an automation tool (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.)

• You have good verbal and written communication skills (French and English)

We are building things from the ground up, which is an opportunity to experiment and make your own choices with a lot of autonomy. But that is also why we think you should have those qualities:

• You are a team player and always ready to help non-technical people

• You can quickly adapt to new technologies

• You are extremely technical and love automating things

Why work at Qb?
