Job Description
We are seeking an experienced
SeniorCloudOps Engineer
to join the
DevLabs Squad
, supporting one of our largest and most critical technology platforms.
DevLabs is a mature, enterprise-scale container orchestration platform that powers hundreds of applications across the organisation. This is not a greenfield engineering role. Instead, it is suited to engineers who thrive in a highly operational environment and understand the importance of maintaining platform stability, security, reliability, and performance.
The platform spans both on-premises VMware infrastructure and AWS cloud environments, with Rancher providing the orchestration layer. DevLabs is managed through Infrastructure as Code principles and immutable infrastructure practices, ensuring all changes are automated, tested, and deployed consistently across more than 25 environments.
We're looking for someone who enjoys solving operational challenges, supporting customers, improving platform health, and ensuring a complex platform continues to operate safely and securely throughout its lifecycle.
What You'll Be Doing
Provide day-to-day support for both production and non-production platform environments
Respond to and resolve customer and platform support requests during business hours
Perform platform upgrades and enhancements, including Kubernetes and Rancher upgrades
