• Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub, Terraform, and Ansible.
• A strong understanding of infrastructure as code, particularly with Ansible and Terraform.
• A team-oriented mindset with a passion for collaboration in a dynamic environment.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with Kafka, Kubernetes, Aerospike, Hazelcast, or GraphQL.
• A background in geospatial or navigation technologies—if you’ve worked with real-time data systems, it’s a bonus!

What We Offer

• A competitive compensation package, of course.
• Time and resources to grow and develop, including a personal development budget and paid leave for learning days, as well as paid access to e-learning resources such as O’Reilly and LinkedIn Learning.
• Time to support life outside of work, with enhanced parental leave plus paid leave to care for loved ones and volunteer in local communities.
• Work flexibility, where TomTom’ers, in agreement with their manager and team, use both the office and home to focus, collaborate, learn and socialize. It’s all about getting the best out of both worlds – we ask TomTom’ers to come to the office two days a week, and the remaining three are free to be worked in either location.
• Improve your home office with a setup budget and get extra support with a monthly allowance.
• Enjoy options to work from your home country and abroad for a set number of days each year, to visit family and friends, or to simply explore the world we’re mapping.
• Take the holidays you want with a competitive holiday plan, plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday.
• Join annual events like our Hackathon and DevDays to bring your ideas to life with talented teammates from around the world.
• Become a part of our inclusive global culture and have the chance to collaborate with a diverse community – we have over 80 nationalities at TomTom!
