Job Zusammenfassung
In dieser Rolle entwickelst du eine automatisierte OpenStack-Infrastruktur, führst Infrastruktur-Tests durch, und optimierst den Betrieb durch den Einsatz von Ansible und Terraform mit Fokus auf KI-gestützte Engineering-Methoden.
Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- You will help us build, operate and industrialize OVHcloud's on-premise cloud platform.
- As part of a small, senior team, you will work on our OpenStack-based infrastructure and the Kubernetes / GitOps stack powering our customer-facing cloud.
- AI-assisted engineering is a first-class part of how we work - from spec-driven development and agentic coding workflows to incident response and automation.
- The platform is in active development, giving you real influence on the architecture, automation strategy and how we adopt AI in platform engineering.
- As a Senior Engineer, you take ownership of your area and shape your focus based on your strengths, with a clear backbone of automation, compute lifecycle, platform engineering and AI substrate work.
- Design and build our OpenStack-based on-premise cloud infrastructure, with the goal of bringing complete cloud environments from bare metal to production through a highly automated deployment process.
- Develop and operate Infrastructure as Code with Ansible and Terraform as well as our Kubernetes and GitOps workflows using FluxCD / ArgoCD, supported by LLMs, agentic workflows and automated testing and review.
- Own the lifecycle of our compute infrastructure - from bare metal, firmware and provisioning through to hypervisors and virtual compute nodes.
- This includes patching, migrations, host evacuation, capacity rebalancing and the automation required to keep the platform healthy.
- Build and extend our AI substrate and self-healing capabilities, from structured knowledge bases and agentic workflows for incident triage and capacity planning to gradually turning today's manual runbooks into automated processes.
- Design tests for non-regression, performance and security, document and package solutions, and continuously improve the platform based on telemetry, operational experience and user feedback.
- Act as a technical reference and sparring partner for peers across automation, platform engineering and AI tooling.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- You have managed compute infrastructure end-to-end, from firmware / BIOS rollouts, bare-metal provisioning and hardware diagnostics to hypervisors, migrations, host evacuation, graceful drains and capacity rebalancing.
- AI-assisted engineering is already part of your daily work.
- You use LLMs and agentic tools where they meaningfully support development, testing, reviews, or operations, and you know where AI adds real value and where strong engineering expertise remains essential.
- You are confident working with Ansible, Terraform and GitOps workflows such as FluxCD or ArgoCD and understand what it takes to turn automation into robust, repeatable production systems.
- Exposure to observability, networking, compute tuning, auto-remediation, security-critical infrastructure or multi-site clouds is also a plus.
- You work autonomously, bring a strong sense of ownership and enjoy improving systems rather than simply keeping them running.
- You also enjoy sharing knowledge and can communicate complex technical topics clearly.
- You are fluent in English, written and spoken.
- English is the working language of our distributed team.
Erfahrung
- Several years of hands-on experience as an SRE, Platform Engineer or DevOps Engineer running production infrastructure, with strong experience in OpenStack, Kubernetes and Linux, including bare metal.
- Ideally, you write Go and/or Python and have experience with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider or comparable agentic coding environments.
Unser Angebot
- A platform genuinely in build mode, with real room to shape architectural decisions, strong ownership and a senior team where autonomy matters.
- AI-augmented engineering as a first-class workflow - including Claude Code and comparable agentic tooling, Markdown-based knowledge bases and room to push our engineering practices further.
- Exceptional team spirit across all departments and national borders; we live #OneTeam.
- Exciting work in a highly innovative and international environment with cutting-edge technologies.
- 32 vacation days, increasing with length of service.
- Flexible working hours, home office options, and a secure permanent position with market- and performance-based compensation.
- Employer-funded pension plan and an attractive insurance package.
- OVHcloud covers 50% of public transportation costs.
- Up to €400 annual financial contribution from OVHcloud towards sports activities, such as gym memberships or sports classes.
- Through Corporate Benefits, you receive attractive discounts at numerous shops and companies.
- We contribute to the leasing of your cargo bike.
- Regular company events and free cold and hot beverages.
