As a senior Cloud Native OPS Engineer, you have over 5 years of technical system expertise to perform technical cloud engineering services: - You configure Azure services and work with Terraform Scripting (infrastructure as a code), AWS networking/gateways, AWS Landing Zone setup, lambda and container services; - You evaluate and translate requirements into design; - You evaluate design benefits and trade-offs; - You validate design compliance and support deployment of the design to ensure the requirements are met; - You use development tools to efficiently solve technical or business challenges, incl. technology evolution, capacity management, and performance optimization; - You innovate to present new ideas which improve an existing system/process/service; - You maintain knowledge of existing technology documents via technical writing; - You perform (complex) incident resolution and root cause analyses; - On duty call for the systems you are responsible for, can be required. Next to a proven experience in system software and cloud infrastructure, you have the following core competences: Adaptive, Analytical thinking, Collaborating, Flexible, IT Infrastructure, Result driven, Software development. knowledge of: public cloud AWS CICD tooling AWS Lambda Python Terraform AWS Athena As a part of our team, you are responsible for the architectural decisions, engineering, integration and maintenance of the cloud platform. Currently we actively manage AWS & Azure cloud environments and keep an eye on other cloud platforms. The focus is on technology/infrastructure services, not the usage and development methodologies that use the cloud platform. The latter is handled by DevOps teams with whom you will be working closely. You assist in feasibility studies to take on new technological services or improvements and help design the services with focus on security, maintainability, flexibility and efficiency. You work together with architects and analysts to come to a proper final design, product owners and scrum masters to govern the exercise and its allocated resources, and software engineering to ensure effective positioning and service offerings.
