What youll work on
Youll be part of a hands-on engineering team that designs, builds, and runs cloud platforms for real customers.
Your work will include:
Designing and operating OpenStack-based cloud platforms, owning the full stack from control plane to data plane.
Building and running Kubernetes clusters on top of or alongside OpenStack, including networking and storage integrations.
Automating everything possible using IaC and configuration management.
Debugging hard problems across compute, storage, networking, and orchestration layers.
Improving reliability, observability, capacity planning, and operational readiness of platforms in production.
Working closely with customers, architects, and internal teams to translate requirements into working systems.
Raising the bar on security, access control, and compliance-aligned deployments.
This is a delivery-first role. Youll design, implement, operate, and improve often in that order.
Must-have skills
Were looking for strong fundamentals and proven hands-on experience.
Deep understanding of OpenStack architecture and core services: Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Keystone, Horizon, Heat.
Strong grasp of Kubernetes concepts, cluster internals, networking models, storage patterns, and deployment approaches.
Solid Linux administration skills with experience tuning systems for performance and stability.
Hands-on experience with KVM/QEMU virtualization and hypervisor-level tuning.
Strong networking fundamentals, including SDN/NFV concepts, Open vSwitch, VXLAN/GRE overlays, and multi-tenant networking.
Experience designing and operating storage systems using Ceph, NFS, iSCSI, object storage, and HA setups.
Proven automation experience using Ansible, Terraform, Heat templates, and Helm.
Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning multiple layers of the stack, not just individual components.
Experience working with API-driven platforms and REST-based integrations.
Exposure to monitoring, logging, alerting, and capacity planning in distributed systems.
Practical understanding of security fundamentals: RBAC, TLS, secrets management, and compliance-aware deployments.
Good-to-have skills
These arent deal-breakers, but they help you ramp up faster.
Experience running OpenStack and Kubernetes in production at scale.
Exposure to hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments.
Familiarity with SRE practices and reliability engineering.
Experience building or extending operators, controllers, or platform tooling.
Contributions to open-source projects or internal platform frameworks.
How we work
We value engineers who understand systems deeply and take ownership.
We prefer automation over heroics and clarity over complexity.
We optimise for long-term operability, not just day-one success.
We work closely with customers and believe trust is built through delivery.
Who will do well here
You like working close to the metal and dont shy away from ambiguity.
Youre comfortable debugging issues that dont have clean boundaries.
You think in trade-offs, failure modes, and operational impact.
You communicate clearly and document decisions so others can build on them.
