Site Reliability Engineer Castor EDC Amsterdam, The Netherlands €60,000 to €80,000 a year
February 2020
2 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Our true purpose at Castor
Castor is one of the leading platforms for data collection in medical research. We believe standardizing and reusing datasets is key to overcoming the healthcare challenges of the future.
How we operate
Our main Electronic Data Capture (EDC) application runs on a proven stack consisting of Ubuntu, Nginx, PHP and MySQL. For our cloud installations, we orchestrate these setups by using Terraform combined with Ansible for the server configuration management.
Due to the nature of processing medical data, we have clients in different regions across the globe, often with specific regulatory constraints around where and how their research data is stored. To meet these customer demands we combine both traditional as well as cloud-based hosting solutions.
Most of our clients prefer to run in Azure, but we’re using Google Cloud Platform for things like Kubernetes hosting of greenfield projects, blob storage for scalable file upload storage and their Key Management System (KMS) to further secure our data.
For our metrics we’ve begun standardizing on Prometheus and we’re moving towards Loki for log aggregation. We use PagerDuty for alerting, communicate via Slack and host our code on Github.
Why we’re growing our team
With our recent expansion have come new challenges, both in how we organize ourselves and in how we manage and scale our infrastructure in the future.
To further these efforts we have formed a Platform team consisting of SRE and Software Engineering, which we are now looking to grow with the addition of an additional SRE.
Additionally, due to the sensitive nature of medical data, Castor is certified for both ISO/IEC 9001 (quality) and 27001 (Information security). In addition, we have to adhere to a number of other regulations, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.
Our goal is to unite these requirements with emerging SRE practices around infrastructure as code and other principles to create a well designed and documented system, while still allowing us to remain flexible to change.
How you will contribute
Our absolute commitment to patient data security and privacy informs our vendor selection with certified datacenter and cloud providers. To achieve real impact in medical research, Castor needs to operate security around the world.
Historically, our production platform has run on top of managed hosting services. This model doesn’t scale well for our global, international footprint, which is why we are currently expanding our in-house knowledge and transitioning to Infrastructure-as-a-Service providers.
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll have the ability to shape our operations and continuously deliver a working product. Working very closely with the development teams, you’ll collaborate in supporting and structuring our efforts around automation, observability and security. With your help we plan to scale the Castor platform to the next level.
Some things we worked on recently
Whilst there are many operational challenges as we continue to grow and scale at Castor, our Platform team has made great improvements to a variety of our systems already. To give you some examples of what we achieved last month:
Migrated our DNS to AWS Route53
Set up automatic documentation pipelines using MkDocs
Moved our CI/CD pipelines from Jenkins to CircleCI
Built a key-service on AWS Lambda to store disk encryption keys off-site for an otherwise region-local setup
Your background
You have helped run web-facing services under production workloads and have experienced the challenges that come with maintaining and scaling these systems. Making and owning decisions about systems architecture together with your team is something you enjoy and feel comfortable with.
Qualities we’re looking for include:
A good grasp on how *NIX systems operate
The ability to evaluate and implement best practices for IT operations
A working knowledge of both cloud-native and traditional systems architecture and the trade-offs between them
Experience with a configuration management framework such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet or SaltStack
The ability and desire to work with a wide range of open source technologies
A strong privacy- and security mindset
Experience with some aspects of Observability and distributed systems: from monitoring, logging and metrics instrumentation to resiliency to failure
A good understanding of how relational databases operate
Experience with at least one programming or scripting language, preferably Python or Go(lang)
Knowledge that a list of skills and requirements doesn’t mean you have to tick every single box to apply ;)
How we say thank you
At Castor we truly live our core values, believing we can achieve anything with a healthy and happy team. With this in mind, we offer the following benefits:
Our own ‘Castor Burrow’ - brand new offices by Amsterdam Amstelstation
A competitive salary plus an annual company bonus plan
Employee Stock Option Programme incentive
30 days annual leave plus 6 public holidays
An individual training and professional development budget
Flexible working with the opportunity to work from home 1 day per week
Meditation room with daily yoga, mindfulness and company subscription to Calm

In 2018, we have been honored by being the fastest growing propTech company in the Netherlands as part of the Technology Fast 50 ranking of Deloitte.
The team
Our engineering team consists of a group of 30 people (product leads, engineering leads, architects, product owners, front-end engineers, back-end engineers, QA engineers and UX/UI designers), all passionate about our expertise.
Within the engineering team, we are organized in multiple cross-functional teams. By applying for this role, you will have the chance to become part of the Platform team.
We, the Platform team, are responsible for the core application of HousingAnywhere and are the team where it all started for HousingAnywhere. Here you’ll find those we call the “dinosaurs” of HousingAnywhere. Djordy, our CEO, started our team back when he was Head of Product.
We have ownership of listing management (listing creation, calendar management and listing representation) and also of chat and bookings functionalities. Down the line, everything we do should add to conversions and should help HousingAnywhere grow to be the number 1 market place for students and young professionals in the world.
Our mission as a team is to provide high-quality matching between tenants and landlords and to drive trust between the users of the marketplace. We think about these challenges every day in order to build a world-class product. If this sounds interesting to you, don't hesitate to read on.
About your role and impact in the platform team
HousingAnywhere has entered a scale-up phase in which we have seen impressive growth in terms of bookings and liquidity in the marketplace. This growth has brought us many technical challenges. On one end of the stack we build features and improvements to optimize conversions, on the other end we are making our infrastructure more resilient for future growth.
Some of the challenges we are tackling:
On the frontend side:
Consolidate our React based frontend with tests and consistent design
Provide users with a more fulfilling mobile experience through PWA technologies and principles
Integrate real-time technology to deliver content to users quickly
Continuously improve SEO through performance and content delivery
On the backend side:
Pragmatically redesigning the core system to identify services and run them outside the main monolith
Moving the core platform to Kubernetes and continuous deployment
Rethinking the way we represent and store data to allow easier integrations through events and denormalization
Monitoring and improving the performance of our private API.
Your role in the team is to contribute to solving these challenges by implementing solutions and assisting our team so that our innovative technology can support future business needs.
As a Senior Software Engineer we expect you to mentor our less senior team members and to work closely with our team lead and PO to help them solve technical challenges they face.
We also expect you to challenge our choices and practices by bringing your opinion in the mix, because only by rethinking our best practices we can really evolve as people and as a company.
Our stack
In frontend we are React lovers. We use Redux, CSS-in-JS, TypeScript, NodeJS and all tools related to this stack. Our backend is powered by Golang backed with a Postgres database. We’re currently moving our backend to a service-oriented architecture (microservices). Our main infrastructure is in Google Cloud Platform. We've been using React, GraphQL and Golang in production environments since the early days. Since a few years we’ve started using Kubernetes and nowadays all our new services run in the cluster.
What we are looking for in a Senior Engineer:
A product-oriented person: you love developing products that help people
You take responsibility for the quality of your work, you like test automation and you are interested in TDD best practices
You're a real team player. You understand your colleagues may have different opinions and you consider them to make our product better.
Someone who is pragmatic
Ability to find a clean and simple solution that could be easily adapted and scaled as the business evolves
Leadership capabilities
Interest in new technologies
You understand that maintainable code is simple code that makes intentions explicit
Experience needed:
Excellent skills in one of Javascript, Golang, C++ or any other of the main languages
An educational degree in the field of Computer Science or similar is preferable, although passionate career changers are also welcome
Experience with online marketplaces, service providers and/or API development
Solid understanding of web user interface design and web development
Have 10 years of experience in web development. If you think you can do the job with fewer years experience, don’t hesitate to apply as well.
Basic understanding of how to prepare a good burger (our team lead even makes his own buns)
