Our Product

At this position you will work on the Open Build Service (OBS). A massive Ruby on Rails/Perl collaboration platform to maintain, build and distribute

software. It helps SUSE Engineering, our partners and community developers to ship software for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures.

The OBS makes it easy to harness the power of the open source development model by providing all the collaborative workflows needed.

Our Team

At SUSE, we have a dedicated team of engineers who work, as part of the global free software community, to continually improve the quality and functionality

of the Open Build Service and to provide SUSE/openSUSE developers with the enterprise-quality service they've come to expect. This is our team, the Build

Solutions team.

The team shares responsibility for the complete product life cycle. From planning, over software development, to delivering improvements to the

customers. All members collaborate across all disciplines and venture into areas of expertise other than their own. We value the agile principles, take

full stack web development seriously and practice the DevOPS culture.

Our Values

We value our customers. By understanding peoples' goals, needs and their limitations. Everything we build and change, everything we do, we do for the

people using our product.

We value quality. By taking due time, avoiding shortcuts, pacing ourselves. By being critical of what we do and by welcoming critique from others. We always

leave our code base, processes and team better than we have found it.

We value responsibility. By taking charge of our objectives and priorities. By speaking our minds, by being honest and frank with each other. We are the change we want to see.

We value ownership. Instead of hiding behind processes, or driving relentlessly towards individual goals, we take ownership of the entire thing. We do that

when things go right but also when things go wrong. No matter if they were in, or out of our control. No matter if that hurts and bruises our ego. It was

never anyone else's fault, it was ours. We believe ownership is respect.

We value collaboration. By working together toward goals, in a horizontal structure with flexible leadership. We do not only share results with each

other, but how we get there. We constantly reflect our thoughts, communication and behavior and how they bring everyone else forward. We win together, we lose together.

We value community. By curiously exploring what other people inside and outside this industry think, do and produce. We expose ourselves to all kinds of ideas and openly share our own views with others.

We value diversity, pluralism and freedom of choice. We think differences, not uniformity, in origin, circumstance and experience make people, the practice of

software development and in the end, our product interesting. We believe it takes a diverse set of people to produce a product truly useful for everyone.

We value personal growth. By continuously learning about other people, technology, development methodologies and efforts. We are open minded, always

evolving adventurers.
