The profile we are looking for

We're building a new platform. As part of the core platform team, you will be working on the host system that will provide FaaS capabilities to other internal teams and 3rd parties.

You'll be a good match for us if you're experienced with the following concepts and platform requirements:

• Zero-downtime / HA / high-resilience
• Soft-realtime computing (guaranteed latencies and failsafes)
• Sandboxing of "untrusted" 3rd party code/modules

Meaning ideally you have been working on things like:

• Cloud Computing Platforms
• FaaS Platforms
• Edge Computing
• VM/Hypervisor Technologies

As one of the initial members of the core platform team you will take an active part in designing and engineering the critical components of the product. Therefore we need you to be able to take responsibility, be communicative and easy going. At Rivero we believe that while progress comes from individual effort, we can only succeed as a team.

• Collaborative Workspace: Work from a historic building only two minutes from the Oerlikon station, with a park next door and great food/coffee options. Alternatively, great co-working spaces are available for employees in select locations.
• International Startup Culture: Work with a diverse team in a role with room to take ownership and growth opportunities as the company expands.
• Learn Continuously: Benefit from frequent academy sessions hosted by your peers on a variety of topics that help you both learn and grow.
• Social Events: Enjoy regular social events and bi-annual on-site company events in Zurich.
• Give Back to the Community: Enjoy five extra days beyond your annual holiday allowance to give back to society through volunteering or community work.
• Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your furry friends to the office!
• Flexible Tech Set-up: Choose your preferred hardware that best sets you up for success.
• Mobile Allowance: Receive an allowance to cover your mobile subscription costs.
• Ownership Opportunities: Participate in the company’s success through stock options.
