Job description

basis.no designs, builds and operates its own hosting platform in data centres in Norway and Germany. On it we run SAP, Kubernetes and a growing range of business applications for Nordic companies. We are looking for people who want to understand every layer of that platform, and who like solving problems close to the hardware and close to the customer.

Most hosting companies resell someone else's cloud. We run our own: servers, network, storage, virtualisation, Kubernetes and the applications on top. That shapes the job.

• You see the whole stack. When something breaks, the answer is in our own systems, not in a support ticket with a hyperscaler. You get to follow a problem all the way down.
• Automation first. We automate routine operations wherever we can, so people spend their time on work that needs judgement.
• Open source and standard hardware. The platform is built on Linux and open-source components such as Ceph, Proxmox, Harvester, Rancher and Longhorn, running on standard servers.
• Real customers, directly. You work with the people who use the systems you run: IT departments and developers at Nordic companies, often over many years.

What you bring

• Proven experience with SAP Basis

• Run and improve Linux servers, storage and virtualisation in our data centres
• Maintain routing, firewalls and connectivity between sites
• Automate deployment and configuration
• Work on security, access control and logging across the platform

Technologies we use

We are a small company with a big platform. That means few layers between you and the decisions, and a lot of trust in the people doing the work.

Location Remote across the Nordics Work from wherever you live in the Nordic countries. The head office in Oslo is there when you want it.

Organisation Little bureaucracy Short paths from idea to decision. If something can be done better, you can usually just go and do it.

Learning Learn from each other Our team covers everything from SAP to data centre networking. We share knowledge across specialties as part of the daily work.

Team Meeting in person A remote team still needs time together. We meet for team events and travel together.

• Competitive salary, set according to your experience and the role
• Remote work from anywhere in the Nordics
• Your choice of equipment: PC, Mac or Linux
• Team events and trips together with colleagues
• Work on your own platform: hardware, open-source software and automation that you can influence directly
• Room to grow into neighbouring areas: SAP, infrastructure, Kubernetes and new services as the platform develops

We only recruit for the roles listed above at the moment.

Do I have to live in Norway?

No. All roles can be done remotely from anywhere in the Nordics. Our head office is in Oslo.

Do I need to speak a Nordic language?

For the SAP Basis Consultant role, yes: native fluency in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or Finnish is required, because you will work directly with Nordic customers.

What kind of customers will I work with?

Nordic companies that run business-critical systems such as SAP, Kubernetes workloads, integrations and Odoo, and want them operated close to home rather than by a large international cloud provider.

Can I choose my own laptop and OS?

Yes. You choose between PC, Mac and Linux.
