The role  

Valtech is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer (Azure). Have you earned your stripes in cloud engineering, do you have a DevOps mindset, and understand the meaning of your work for other specialists? Do you know how to organize your work and that of others? Are you a team player who cares about the team and is willing to take the point if things get rough, while sharing successes together? Can you convince a client to make the right decision? This may just be the job for you.

Valtech and Cloud Engineering

Valtech is a leading global agency in the business of digital transformation. We help our client transform their business into a true digital experience. In this mission, we design, build, and run large-scale global experience and commerce platforms in co-creation and co-operation with our clients. Experience and commerce platforms have drastically evolved over the last years in complex ecosystems that tie together multiple services of multiple vendors – also known as MACH or composable architecture. As a founding member of MACH Alliance, a group that educates enterprises on best-of-breed Microservices, APIs, Cloud, and Headless (MACH) technology, Valtech pioneers in how to properly build and manage those complex ecosystems. Site reliability engineering is at the core of our vision for how this modern-day distributed ecosystem should and can be managed.

A day in the life of a Senior Cloud Engineer (Azure)

As a Senior Cloud Engineer (Azure), you are part of a multidisciplinary project team working with software engineers, QA engineers, and frontend engineers on experience and commerce platforms. You will work with Infrastructure as Code (mostly Terraform), support teams in setting up their pipelines, helping them to deploy and scale their applications, design and ensure security on the cloud infrastructure of our client, set up recovery procedures, etc. You’ll work with containerized environments hosted either in Azure PaaS (Container Services, App Service, Azure functions) or on Kubernetes (AKS), although at times you will also work in an IaaS context with VMs.

On top of that, you help teams to grow and incorporate cloud techniques – these teams may contain cloud engineers, but could also consist of DevOps-minded software engineers. You participate in the European cloud team and actively contribute to growing the cloud engineers in that team. You help with advice, estimates, risk analysis, and proactively alert project management around cloud work streams. You’re supporting cloud and solutions architects by assessing their solutions for feasibility and against the competencies and skills of the teams that need to execute them. You sometimes jump into projects to help them overcome a bump in the road and help colleagues to identify problems for what they are, and help them find the appropriate solution and to get the time they need to implement that solution.

Role responsibilities

• Building, changing, and maintaining cloud infrastructures in Azure – compute, data, and networking.
• Setting up logging, monitoring, and security.
• Support and teach teams to set up and maintain their pipelines.
• Coach mid and junior colleagues to improve their technical skills.
• Proactively advise teams, clients, and projects on cloud-related improvements in the areas of performance, availability, security, reliability, and cost effectiveness.
• Help project and service managers to budget and plan cloud work, identify project or SLA risks.
• Coordinate cloud work in a project with multiple cloud engineers.
• The single point of contact for client, project, and service management on cloud topics for a specific project.
• Make sure that documentation is created and maintained.
• Govern automation at the right level and quality.
• Supervise compliance with security standards and client requirements.

Must have qualifications

You are someone with at least 5 years of experience as a cloud engineer in Azure. You communicate clearly, transparently, and proactively. You have worked in an environment where you needed to work together with developers to get things done. You have experience with public-facing online applications, high availability, and high traffic. You have a cooperative attitude, a DevOps mindset, and as such, you're interested in the work of others. You communicate easily and can explain technical concepts to non-technical people. You have a clear understanding of what information is needed at which time for a project manager or for the client. You have organizational sensitivity (and can explain what this means).

You have respect for your colleagues and embrace diversity in all its aspects.

To be considered for this role, you must meet the following essential qualifications: 

• You are assertive with good communication skills.
• You have experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform.
