Profile:
* You need to be able to communicate well with our customers and with internal teams
* Fluent in English
* Prior experience with Python or Go is a plus
* Previous experience with REST-like APIs and designing them help

The position is available remotely in Germany. Unfortunately we can not consider your application when you live in another country.

@apricote @hetzner Hell yeah, and unfortunately direly needed :'D

There's a lot on our Hetzner-Wishlist and I bet you are aware of those aspects, and I'm stoked to see there's commitment to improve the people power behind that!

- uploading "standardized" machine images (instead of using packer-plugin-hcloud or ISOs),
- tracking the actually running OS-image in terraform (we don't use any of the Hetzner provided ones so this property is always misleading),
- delegating subdomains as separate zones to different projects (or is this actually possible, the old/new docs are a bit confusing here)

Where is how much you intend to pay?

@marove @apricote @hetzner Tatsächlich voll, vielen Dank.

@apricote @hetzner

How much are you paying? Don't make people waste their time and include how much the salary is in the ad.

@ljrk @apricote @hetzner

Oh, yes! Uploading machine images would also be on the top of our list. The hoops required atm are absurd.

Subdomain delegation they refuse to do due to security reason (quoting the support). I found someone that claims hosting the full zone and just use the subdomain records works. But I could not confirm that myself yet.

Do you already have a diverse team? Important for candidates from underrepresented groups to know!

Disclaimer: Personal opinion, not speaking for my employer.

Would love to see an API to upload images instead of the workarounds that are required right now. I use Flatcar for my own servers, and it's always a pain to upload a new image. I wrote https://github.com/apricote/hcloud-upload-image/ to make it more manageable for myself.

What do you mean with the "actually running OS-image in terraform"? The hcloud_server.image attribute should contain the actual image ID if you use a custom snapshot.

I am with you, and I hope that this will become more transparent this year with the *EU Pay Transparency Directive* coming into effect.

But I am not involved in this at my company, so I can not directly help you today.

We used hcloud-uploader before but the images get quite large (as they are the full disks) so a restore is quite slow.

What I got working recently is "dd-install" via rescue mode.

https://github.com/tcurdt/dd-install

Allows me to install alpine/debian/nixos/... with a custom partition setup.

But it feels like an workaround. A proper API would be so much appreciated!

@apricote

Apologies for the confusion. I honestly thought you were associated with Hetzner.

Either way, the main point stands: Not publishing the salary (or at least the salary range) along with the benefits in the ad this day and age is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!

It is an affront to workers and nobody should bother with companies that don't publish this information upfront.

Also als ich versucht habe da was zu bestellen, bin ich am Support gescheitert.
Wahrscheinlich nur KI.

Sie koennen sich nicht verifizieren?
Dann loesen sie diese Schwierigkeit damit, dass sie sich verifizieren.

Ist wie wenn ich sage, ich finde den Lichtschalter nicht, weils dunkel ist und als Antwort bekomme:
Dann mach doch das Licht an.

@apricote @hetzner could you really not consider people from Belgium?

I would love to work in the context of eu sovereignty (and Hetzner is imho very important to that). I've been building automations for Telco services for a decade now, so this kind of tooling and integration work is what I know very well.
