Challenges and Humans - Software Developer Edgegap Employee Review

At Edgegap, you learn every day. Personally, this is what is thrilling about Edgegap. Some day you will learn about the big cloud providers (Azure, GCP, AWS) and on the other day, you'll be assigned to create a Kubernetes cluster to monitor game servers across the world (on the edge ). Currently, you can work with so many technologies; K3s, K8s for infrastructure, Docker and Container-d for containerization of Python microservices. Since you're working with a small group of people, your ideas can have a great impact on the team and any ideas are welcomed. The team is super friendly to newcomers and the coffee is always hot.

This job is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a challenging job, you've comme to the right place. There's always a problem that need to be fixed since Edgegap doesn't rely on a single provider.

The team is very friendly and helpful, even across departments. Transparency is encouraged for both employees and management, and employees have considerable autonomy, which makes the job feel less like doing chores, and more like contributing to the project. Greater autonomy, with the startup mindset and transparent two-way feedback, gives me confidence in the possibility of defining my career path within the company.

As a growing startup, there is always more work to do, and it requires discipline to not work too much. The team is also relatively young, though growing and, while management is very experienced, I feel like I could have benefitted from a "mentor" in my role, which is a luxury a startup can most often not afford.
