Hello! 👋
We're looking for a System & DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team in the Platform Domain.
Our mission is to keep the Factorial application running 24/7, ensure its performance, scalability and security, as well as research improvements to enable Product Engineers to develop new use cases adding value to our customers.
The Engineering team at large 💻
At Factorial, we have a team of +200 very talented Fullstack Engineers. We look for smart people who are curious, proactive and have good soft/communication skills.
The main application uses Ruby on Rails for the backend and React for the frontend.
The Role ✨
We are looking for people that have solid experience managing large-scale application deployments on the cloud, ideally including:
Terraform or Ansible for IaC,
MySQL database administration,
using public cloud services like AWS or Azure,
operating a Kubernetes cluster and managing a large MySQL cluster with HA configuration.
⚠️ Please note this is not a backend or frontend Software Engineering role.
You are a team player: You are comfortable helping your teammates, sharing your knowledge, reviewing their code and asking for reviews of your own.
You have a user-centric mindset: You know that the only reason we write code is to help our users to perform their tasks.
You are a learner: you want to improve your skills not only in the engineering field but across any other areas.
You are an owner: You like proposing new hypotheses and being responsible for building, deploying and validating them.
You love understanding: Breaking down complex problems into basic and shareable elements.
You are T-shaped: You can tackle tasks in different areas of Infrastructure, with deeper knowledge in one or two.
You are a mentor: You love to share your experience and expertise to help others grow.
You have roughly 3+ years of experience working as a Software or Systems Engineer.
You are comfortable communicating in English.
You can work from our Barcelona or Madrid offices most of the week.
At Factorial we don't evaluate you by the years of experience you have, we evaluate your knowledge and skills. How? We have a Career Path with a rubric framework where we define what is expected for each experience level and skill. This framework allows you to know at which level you're right now and what you need to keep growing. As we love transparency, our Career Path includes the salaries for each level and we share it during the first interview to make sure we're aligned.
For this Senior-level position, the annual gross salary is 60,500€ regardless of your location. This includes a base salary of 55,000€ and a variable pay of up to 5,500€ annually (paid quarterly), depending on the company's goals.
How We Work 💻 (Barcelona or Madrid Office)
At Factorial, we believe the best products are built when people come together, in person to collaborate, challenge ideas, and move fast. That’s why our Engineering Teams follows an office-first, flexible approach.
We work on-site several days a week, using that time to connect, align, and innovate as a team. However, we also understand the importance of focus and flexibility, so we support remote work when it makes sense - whether for deep work, personal needs, or just a change of scenery.
This balance helps us stay agile, creative, and closely connected, while giving everyone the space to do their best work.
You’ll start with a 2 weeks onboarding period, where you will:
Learn about Factorial: our product, our team, our clients
Pair with each member of the team at least once, to see their current initiatives
Solve low-stake bug tickets or quick wins
Commit early and often thanks to our preprod and demo environments
Be fully integrated in the team’s rituals from day 1
You will be a Product-centric Engineer, taking ownership of big initiatives, and being interested in the outcome, not just the output. About the outcome, you’ll also work with your team members to establish goals and plan a quarterly roadmap, putting special attention to the technical needs of our domain.
You will review code, and get feedback on your own code.
You will learn from the entire team, both on technical topics (performance, architecture…) and core skills, in an environment driven by engineering quality.
You will share your knowledge, through the RFCs you write, pairing sessions, our mentoring programme or the occasional appearance in the monthly Tech All Hands.
We care about people and we also offer a lot of benefits for employees:
High growth, multicultural and friendly environment 🫱🏽🫲🏿
Alan private health insurance 🩺
Healthy life with Wellhub (Gyms, pools, outdoor classes) 🕺🏻
