Careers

We run open-source software for organisations that want to own it. We hire engineers who want to do that well and answer for it.

How we hire

We do not keep a list of openings. We hire when we find the right person, and we would rather hear from you before a role exists than after it is filled.

Send an open application to careers@pilae.com. Tell us what you have run, what broke, and what you changed afterwards. A link to code, a write-up or an incident review you are proud of says more than a list of tools.

What the work is

Pilae operates apps for organisations that need to own their software, such as public administrations, international organisations, universities and regulated companies, on their own servers or on dedicated machines in Pilae Cloud. The Pilae Agent plans each change, waits for approval, applies it in the customer's window and records it. Engineers design the platform, review the plans, answer alerts and stand behind the result under contract.

Who we look for

Infrastructure engineers

You have run Linux, networks, databases and backups for real users, and you would rather write the runbook than repeat the fix. You are comfortable owning an incident until it is closed.

Security engineers

You think in threat models, access paths and evidence. You harden systems, review changes before they ship and can explain a control to an auditor in plain words.

Sales engineers

You can sit with a head of IT, a CISO and a procurement officer in the same meeting, answer each of them honestly, and turn their requirements into a deployment plan.

How we work

Every change is planned and approved

The Pilae Agent does the steps; an engineer reviews the plan and answers for the result. We work the way we ask our customers to trust us.

Written first

Decisions, runbooks and incident reviews are written down, so anyone can pick up the work and nobody depends on one memory.

Open source, all the way down

We operate open-source and source-available software, so the work you do is on software anyone can read.

Customer data is not ours

Access is least-privilege, time-bound and recorded. We treat every customer environment as someone else’s house.

Tell us what you have run.
