Candidate Profile

You hold at least a two-year higher education qualification in IT and have hands-on experience in cloud, infrastructure automation or platform engineering within an enterprise environment. You are proficient with Terraform or an equivalent infrastructure-as-code approach, Git workflows, scripting and CI/CD configuration. You understand cloud APIs, configuration management, testing, troubleshooting and secure secrets handling. Experience with Microsoft Azure, OVH, Ansible, PowerShell, Python, hybrid infrastructure, observability or policy-as-code would be an advantage. This position is suited to an automation-minded engineer who values reusable design, reliable delivery and close collaboration with operations.
Behavioral Skills
Automation-minded, analytical, methodical, curious, autonomous and collaborative. You create reusable solutions rather than one-off scripts, communicate clearly with both engineering and operations teams, document your work and take ownership from design through adoption. You balance delivery speed with security, maintainability, testing and operational reliability.
