Full Stack Software Engineer

Full Stack Software Engineer

A perfect storm of geopolitical and technological forces is reshaping the European digital landscape. At SUSE, we believe the future of digital sovereignty must be built on the transparent, collaborative, and secure foundation of open source.

The Global Sovereign Solutions team is a strategic unit within the CEO's office. We define the direction for sovereignty-related initiatives across the entire SUSE portfolio. We are looking for a highly versatile Full Stack Software Engineer to join us. In this role, you will not just build software; you will build the "spark" that drives innovation across our global engineering organization. You will take strategic sovereign themes and turn them into tangible, deliverable solutions that eventually land within our core product teams.

As an Engineer, you operate at the intersection of high-level strategy and hands-on delivery. Your mission is to develop initial sovereign solutions, ranging from automated compliance tools to domain-specific OS tuning, and navigate them through fast iteration cycles until they are ready to be integrated into SUSE's broader product landscape.

Responsibilities:

• Build working versions of sovereign infrastructure solutions. You will work in rapid cycles, utilizing AI and modern frameworks to move from a strategic requirement to a functional deliverable.
• When a solution is ready for scale, you will "land" with core engineering teams (e.g., Cloud Native, Edge, or Linux) for 3 to 6 months. You will act as the lead contributor to ensure the initiative is successfully integrated and launched within the specific product unit.
• Translate sovereign policy and market needs into technical specifications. You think about the entire SUSE stack, identifying where sovereignty-native features (like observability or immutability) should be baked into the kernel or the orchestration layer.
• You own the output. This includes writing clean, maintainable code, setting up deployment pipelines, and producing the documentation necessary for other teams to take over and scale your work.
• While reporting to the Global Sovereign Solutions team, you will collaborate daily with product managers and engineers across the company to ensure your solutions align with SUSE's long-term technical roadmap.

Skills and Experience:

• 5–6 years of experience in high-velocity technical environments. You have experience in a technical environment where you were responsible for solving complex problems independently.
• Technical Stack:
• Languages: Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) and Javascript are essential. Experience with Python and Vue.js for full-stack prototyping is highly valued.
• Infrastructure: Mastery of Kubernetes, Containers, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Cloud Native: Deep experience deploying and managing applications across various cloud providers and on-premise environments.
• You are a "self-starter" who can operate in a flat hierarchy. You are comfortable navigating organizational friction and turning technical challenges into clear, deliverable paths forward.
• You enthusiastically embrace new AI tooling, actively learning how to use agents to augment your capabilities and accelerate software delivery.

What We Offer:

We empower you to be bold, driving your career to create the future you want. We celebrate and reward your achievements.

SUSE is a dynamic environment that is evolving rapidly, thus requiring agility, strong entrepreneurship and an open mind.

This is a compelling opportunity for the right person to join us as we continue to scale and prosper.
