Jobbeschreibung

Are you a motivated experienced person, used to working in an international multi-cultural environment, who really wants to make a difference in the open-source world?

At PowerDNS, part of Open-Xchange, we decided to leave dead-end jobs where you don't make an impact and offer passionate experts the opportunity to be part of an international team that connects the world and millions of people. By developing and delivering open-source DNS software, we ensure that one of the foundational protocols underpinning the Internet stays free for anyone to use. And by providing services and additional closed-source software tailored to large-scale telco and enterprise use-cases, we ensure a viable and sustainable business that can continue to deliver on our principal goal of a free and open Internet.

We believe it’s crucial to work in an environment where people feel valued, are energized by their work and deliver added value – to colleagues, to our community, and to our customers.

We believe that everyone at OX will always do what is best for the company. The full potential for high performance can only be realized within an organizational structure that enables each individual to work with clear focus and to take full responsibility for their tasks.

At OX we focus a lot on mastery. It influences our decision-making processes and is a great part of how we look at professional development.

We believe in openness and diversity, which are crucial to OX’s success. Different opinions, ways of thinking, and cultures enrich us and help us to better understand the bigger picture.

Team info :

We are the PowerDNS team and we are looking for a new team member to join us. Offering flexibility in both hours (full-time or part-time) and location (remote and in-office), we are currently looking for an experienced developer with a particular affinity for Go.

PowerDNS develops and maintains a suite of both open-source and closed-source DNS products. As a Software Developer for PowerDNS you will use your knowledge and experience to collaboratively design and implement the future evolution of our Kubernetes-based DNS-orchestration solution and a high-performance DNS zone data syncer. These solutions are key to deploying cloud-native DNS architectures in large telco environments and are designed for scalability, given the importance of high-performance, low-latency, and highly-available DNS to the subscriber user experience and network infrastructure management.

The PowerDNS main office is located in The Hague, but you are free to work remotely from home in the Netherlands or one of the other European countries where Open-Xchange has entities.

• You'll work with Product Management and other developers in the team to design future architectures and determine the best approach for implementation.
• You'll ensure that nothing is done twice by automating everything.
• You'll support our Sales Engineering and Support teams with technical questions or issues from customers.
• You'll continuously improve yourself and the products by investigating alternatives and new technologies.

This is the tech stack you'll be working with :
