Cloud Engineer/DevOps Engineer

Help build the cloud platforms that form the digital backbone of large organizations. At KPN Tech Hub Private Cloud, you will design, automate, and manage modern cloud-native environments using technologies such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. Work on innovative solutions in our own Dutch data centers and make an impact with scalable, secure, and future-proof IT platforms.

In this role, you will collaborate with client teams and developers to design, build, and manage modern cloud environments. Your focus will be on automating and standardizing infrastructure, enabling cloud platforms to be deployed and managed securely, scalably, and reliably.

You will develop and implement cloud solutions for compute, networking, identity management, and Kubernetes platforms, among others. Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps principles, you will ensure automated, consistent, and manageable deployments. Additionally, you will build and manage container platforms such as Kubernetes and OpenShift, including monitoring, security, access management, and observability.

In addition to developing and improving platforms, you will be responsible for managing cloud environments. This includes performing changes, upgrades, and releases, resolving incidents, and conducting root cause analyses to implement structural improvements. By smartly configuring monitoring, logging, and alerting, you will contribute to a stable and well-performing environment.

Together with security, network, data, and client teams, you will work on standards, automation, and best practices. In this way, you will help organizations use cloud-native services securely, efficiently, and independently, and accelerate the adoption of modern cloud technologies.
