Golang Job: AWS Cloud Engineer

Functieomschrijving

Tasks and responsibilities
NS International builds applications for the online marketing and sales of international train travel. These applications are hosted on AWS with the help of the systems team. To unburden the teams as much as possible, they are working on a standardised platform that eliminates the complexity of building and roll-out and instead provides standard solutions for elements such as monitoring.
On one hand, your role is to help teams utilise the capabilities of AWS, and on the other, to look at where the systems team can offer a helping hand. You can translate these insights into software products yourself in a hands-on way. In general, they resolve as much as possible with native AWS technology, but where necessary, they write solutions ourselves in Go or Node, for example. The teams work primarily with Angular, Java, Swift and Kotlin. You are not necessarily an expert in those domains, but you do understand what is important for solid software development.

The organisation
NS International offers the traveller high-speed transportation to national and international destinations. They strive for comfort, speed and convenience. NS International offers sustainable travel to the heart of the city. Their NS International Lounges in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Schiphol make travelling with their trains very appealing.
