Cloud Engineer (Storage)

at  Capgemini

SO, WHAT KIND OF SKILLS AND QUALITIES ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• In-depth knowledge of storage technologies, having worked across traditional data centre SAN/NAS and backup technologies. Experience working with storage technologies in public cloud – object, file, backup, archive.
• Can demonstrate having delivered cloud storage-based solutions in a project context having been accountable for technical delivery and quality.
• Knowledge of DevOps and SRE delivery models – being able to work in a team or squad, adopting agile methods and ways of working. Knowledge of modern application hosting platforms beneficial (docker, Kubernetes and/or Red Hat OpenShift).
• Knowledge and experience in one or more public cloud platforms and a good all-round knowledge of infrastructure technologies (compute, storage, networks, data, security).
• Demonstrate and provide evidence of the ability to interact with team members and clients, develop documentation effectively, and present themselves professionally.

THE ROLE IS FOCUSED ON SPECIFIC PROJECTS AND DELIVERING OUTCOMES, WHICH WILL CHANGE REGULARLY. THIS IS NOT AN OPERATIONS ROLE – YOU WILL SEE A WIDE RANGE OF CHALLENGES OVER TIME, EVERY PROJECT IS DIFFERENT. INNOVATION IS AT THE HEART OF ALL WE DO, WHICH IS WHY YOU WILL BE UTILISING VARIOUS OPEN-SOURCE AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

AS A STORAGE SPECIALIST WITHIN CAPGEMINI’S VIBRANT CLOUD PLATFORM TEAM, YOU WILL HAVE A PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF PROJECTS:

• Migrating Workloads to Cloud – working as part of a team to migrate application workloads to public cloud, taking end-to-end responsibility for the storage and data workloads.
• Platform Modernisation – helping clients embrace cloud storage solutions, moving away from complex on-premise solutions.
• Public Cloud Deployment – working with a DevOps or SRE squad, providing expertise across all storage and data domains, often including modern application hosting solutions such as docker, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. Optimising how data is stored, persisted and secured – helping to improve resilience, availability, monitoring, automation and security, often in public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), using open source, commercial and cloud platform tools & services.
• Hybrid Cloud - working in environments that integrate on-premises and cloud storage to deal with performance, sovereignty and security of data.
• ERP to Cloud – helping customers adopt public cloud for ERP (SAP, Oracle) solutions, often with complex data storage, resiliency and backup needs.
