Work full of energy

Guard is a team within the IT Foundation value stream. The team is responsible for the Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. These services are used by the EDSN DevOps teams to develop agile systems for supporting the Dutch energy market. An essential part of the solutions our team offers is Self Service (preferably declarative via GitOps). This means that teams can use building blocks without being directly dependent on us. Our team is service-oriented and has a lot of contact with other teams, so we also pay attention to the necessary soft skills.

In addition to Guard, teams Atlas, Base64, WhoAmI, CRT, Watchdog, and Fundamentum are part of this value stream. Atlas has the scope of cloud (AWS) infrastructure, Base64 has the scope of generic building blocks for integration, WhoAmI is responsible for Identity & Access Management. Fundamentum deals with data engineering and data analytics. CRT is responsible for the container runtime on which the applications land. Watchdog is responsible for our observability stack.

A core aspect within IT Foundation is delivering building blocks that ensure business agility and speed of realization (time-to-market). In short, agile solutions that can be developed in fast, short, and small iterations (integrate early & integrate often + working complex systems evolve from simple working systems).

We are a seven-person, fun, driven, and specialized team, which is easily approachable, both within the department and within the entire company, which makes working pleasant!
