JAYPAY: Our ethos

We could fill this section with fluff words which big us up. Thing is, when it comes to the JAYPAY brand, it’s not about us; it’s about our incredibly talented team, which could include you. Our team is what makes us. So, enough talk about why we think we’re great, let’s focus on what our team has to say:

“I thought I knew a lot about my field till I joined JAYPAY, then my eyes were opened. I thought I knew what people wanted to see in a website or a website application; then I joined JAYPAY. The team around me continues to go above and beyond and I have found myself inspired on a daily basis. I’ve not just upped my game here, but I’m learning how to be an entrepreneur, marketer, and brand genius. JAYPAY is breaking barriers. JAYPAY is disrupting, and I am so happy to be part of a brand that takes me places I never thought possible!”

What we’re looking for

 

We’re looking for a hungry, driven DevOps Engineer who’s comfortable working in a team. We’re looking for a real team player who has a true knack for spotting any issues.

When it comes to adding new talent to JAYPAY, we don’t just look at your academic background. You can have PhDs coming out of your arse, but if you don’t fit in, can’t smile, are incapable of having fun, can’t relax, or get off whatever high horse you’re on, maybe it’s best you try another company. We’re looking for brilliant minds that’ll turn heads with their flair and creativity, and make everyone around them want to be around them.

For the role of DevOps Engineer, we’re looking for a brilliant mind who has the following in their locker:

  • Undergraduate or postgraduate degree in Computer Science or in a related field – Unless you can prove to us that you know your shit. Our founder and CEO doesn’t have a degree…
  • Understanding and experience in working with Agile methodology or something similar.
  • Knowledge of industry standard DevOps tools, techniques, and cloud technologies.
  • An abundance of experience when it comes to setting up and maintaining AWS and Azure server infrastructure. This is a biggie, so maybe it’s best you don’t apply if you have no idea what these are…
  • Experience with source control systems.
  • Experience in Enterprise Infrastructure.
  • Scripting and programming knowledge.
  • Experience working on Windows and Linux based infrastructure.
  • Experience in working with Containers and Cloud native platforms.
  • Strong understanding of technical design and system architecture.
  • Fluency in English, both verbal and written
  • Experience when working with Git and BitBucket. Another important aspect you need to have in your locker.
  • A god when it comes to time management and organisation
  • Someone who is responsible and takes full ownership of their work

Some advantages that could get you through the door

 

When it comes to drawing up the candidate shortlist, we take a look at absolutely everything. But, if you’ve got this additional experience, you just might make it onto the shortlist faster than anyone else:

  • Experience in developing in React & Next.js

Some of the perks

You’ll be loved and cared for, and we show that to all our team in the form of the way we treat them as well as the monetary benefits they enjoy. You’ll be working out of our Beirut office at BDD and you’ll be paid in Fresh US Dollars. You’re also put on a 100% medical coverage plan. Bonuses for exceptionally hard work are given too, and the working environment is fun, energetic, and magnetising. Another plus is that you’ll get to travel to our offices in Cyprus at least once a year.

How to apply

Click on where it says “apply”. Fill in the form, and we’ll get back to you. Every application is treated confidentially. We’re not lovers of spam, and we’re pretty sure you’re not too, so we’ll never give out your personal details to anyone. We’re fully GDPR compliant too.

We’re going to ask you to prove that you’re as good as you say you are, so you’re going to have to answer some tricky DevOps Engineering questions that only a qualified and experienced DevOps Engineer would know. Are you ready?

Stay safe, stay awesome, and good luck!
