At StuDocu, our mission is to empower everyone to excel at their studies by providing the best tools to study more efficiently. StuDocu is the world’s leading community for university students. Every month we help more than 15+ million university students to get smarter, faster. After rapid and profitable growth in the Netherlands, we are now taking the rest of the world by storm fuelled by a further investment of 50 million USD.
Our healthy economic model has allowed us to grow our team significantly over the past year, and now we are looking for an experienced DevOps/Sysadmin in our Platforms pillar. You will work closely with the product and engineering teams to support their technical needs whilst maintaining a secure, highly available and efficient infrastructure setup.
For now, StuDocu adopted a flexible remote-first policy, but we still require our 50+ employees to be located in or near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. We encourage our employees to visit the office once every other week to build relationships and socialize while abiding by the safety rules.
We are supporting our new colleagues in the relocation process, so you won't have to be concerned about the administration or costs of plane tickets. If you would like to learn more about relocation to Amsterdam you can check out articles about tax benefits (30% ruling) and why this city is called the biggest tech-hub in Europe or "silicon canals of Europe".
