Job Description

   

The Role

SUSE is looking for the next generation of open source engineers. As an engineering trainee, you will be working alongside experienced software or infrastructure engineers, learning from the best in the business.

There are 2 general paths, Software Engineer and IT Engineer.

The IT Engineer Trainee will learn how to keep our IT infrastructure running smoothly and safely. This path will give exposure to areas such as infrastructure technologies, networks, datacenter management, cybersecurity, IAM, and platform management.

The Software Engineer Trainee will learn how to maintain and develop the software which runs some of the world’s most critical systems. This path will give you exposure to software packaging, security, QA, kernel development, container development, bug fixing and other areas depending on your skills and interests.

The position is a 6-month contract, which can be extended again if you’re happy and we’re happy. You will be rotating through teams roughly every 3 months.

SUSE wants you to succeed academically, as well as professionally, and we’re willing to work with you to make that happen. We are offering part-time contracts between 15–20 hours per week.

The hourly pay you can expect is around: 300 CZK/hour

This position is one pathway to a full-time engineering position with SUSE, but does not guarantee a position within SUSE following the Engineering Trainee Program.

Preferred Experience & Skills 

  • Most of our interest is in Linux and Containers, so you should have some background knowledge of these technologies. If you’ve taken courses on these topics or administered some servers or containers for a project, that’s definitely something we’d like to hear about.

  • Languages: There are many languages that we use at SUSE. It’s not just C. We’re certainly looking for languages that our core systems are written in, that’s C, C++, Go, although much of our tooling is written in languages like Ruby, Python, Perl. Shell scripting in bash will certainly be useful. This is not a complete list of languages, and we certainly don’t expect you to know all of them.

  • Git is crucial to how we work. Some experience with git will be important to collaborate with colleagues on code. If you have the basics, we’ll teach you some tricks to become a git master.

  • Contributions to open source software are a massive plus, but if you just have a portfolio or personal project you’re proud of, please share it.

  • English, you should have the ability to work primarily in English. You will be working with colleagues in different countries, reading documentation in English, discussing technical concepts in English. This corresponds roughly to a B2-C1 level.

Personal Attributes 

  • You should be enrolled in the final year of a Bachelor’s degree, enrolled in a Master’s program or PhD. program. We can make exceptions, for example, for carers or students who have paused their studies to take care of children. Please apply if you’re unsure.

  • You should love learning new things. It seems obvious, but one of the joys of our jobs is quickly exploring complex systems we’re unfamiliar with. Curiosity and an inquisitive mind is something we all share at SUSE.

What we can offer

  • A standard employment contract. You’ll be working as a valued member of our team.

  • A great opportunity to find what you enjoy doing! By trying your hand in various Software Engineering roles, you’ll find your hidden superpowers and do something you’re great at.

  • Valuable industry experience. Even if things don’t work out, you’ll have real Software Engineering experience that you can point to.

  • Open source is in our DNA. Your contributions will build on some of the greatest open source projects out there. You can point to your public contributions and say: hello world, I did that!
