Job Zusammenfassung

In dieser Position entwickelst du die Speicherarchitektur einer On-Premise-Cloud-Plattform, betreibst Ceph-Cluster und optimierst Automatisierungsstrategien über Kubernetes und OpenStack, während du eine hohe Betriebsbereitschaft sicherstellst.

Job Technologien

Deine Rolle im Team

  • You will help us build, operate and industrialize the storage foundation of our on-premise cloud platform.
  • As part of a small, experienced team, you will own the Ceph clusters behind our block, object and file storage services - essentially the storage every customer workload eventually lands on.
  • The platform is still actively being built, which means you will have real influence on the storage architecture, hardware lifecycle, automation strategy and technical direction.
  • The role goes beyond Ceph itself: you will regularly work across bare metal, networking, OpenStack, Kubernetes and GitOps.
  • As a Senior Engineer, you take ownership of your area and help make storage predictable, durable and highly automated as we scale into the petabytes.

Unsere Erwartungen an dich

Qualifikationen

  • You know the Ceph fundamentals from real-world operations: CRUSH, pools and placement groups, replication vs. erasure coding, BlueStore, scrubbing, recovery and backfill under load.
  • You have managed storage infrastructure end to end, from the physical layer with drives, firmware, BIOS, controllers and hardware diagnostics through rebalancing, host drains, capacity expansion and hardware generation migrations.
  • You are comfortable using Kubernetes as a control plane, not only as a workload runtime, and understand operators/controllers, custom resources, reconciliation and GitOps.
  • You can also move confidently around OpenStack and debug issues involving Ironic, Neutron, Nova or Glance when needed.
  • You have dealt with situations where durability really matters - such as degraded or near-full clusters, recovery under load or split-brain conditions - and you are used to making changes in a staged, evidence-based and reversible way.
  • You have strong Linux and bare-metal skills, understand the block layer, filesystems and I/O behaviour, and are comfortable working with Ansible, Terraform and GitOps.
  • AI-assisted engineering is already part of your day-to-day work.
  • You work autonomously, bring a strong sense of ownership, and are comfortable debugging problems where the actual root cause may sit somewhere between storage, networking, Kubernetes and OpenStack.
  • You would rather verify what is happening from evidence than assume how the system should behave.
  • We work in an international environment in English, so you should feel comfortable discussing technical topics, documenting decisions and working with the team in English.

Erfahrung

  • Several years of hands-on experience as an SRE, Storage Engineer or Platform Engineer running production storage infrastructure, with solid experience deploying, operating and debugging Ceph in production.
  • You have practical experience with LLMs and agentic tools and know where they can meaningfully support development, testing, reviews or operations.
  • Ideally, you also bring experience with RGW / S3, RBD mirroring, CephFS or ceph-csi, deeper OpenStack storage integrations and Go and/or Python.
  • Experience around VLAN/BGP, storage performance tuning, NVMe/BlueStore, observability, data protection, encryption, auto-remediation, security baselines or multi-site storage is also relevant for the role.

Unser Angebot

  • 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 (gym membership, sports classes, etc.).
  • 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.
