Senior Private Cloud engineer (Human)

• Own and operate NEURA's private cloud infrastructure end-to-end - from cluster architecture through day-to-day platform management
• Design and evolve the private cloud as an internal platform - standardised, self-service-capable compute for development, production, and research workloads across the company
• Take responsibility for all layers the platform depends on, including virtualisation, networking (VLANs, routing, SDN), storage, and identity integration
• Build and mature monitoring and observability across the platform, ensuring capacity transparency, alerting, and reliable incident detection
• Drive infrastructure automation using tools such as Ansible and Terraform; reduce manual toil through repeatable, auditable processes
• Own hardware lifecycle management, capacity planning, and high availability design for on-premises compute
• Work closely with Linux admins, Windows admins, and the storage engineer to define clean service boundaries within Computing Services
• Help shape the Computing Services function - your technical decisions and working practices will set the standard

Do you have experience in Terraform?, * Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field - or equivalent professional experience

• Several years of hands-on experience owning and operating private cloud or hypervisor platforms at a senior level - including clustering, high availability, and storage configuration; you have owned the platform, not just operated it
• Strong Linux fundamentals at OS level - comfortable well below the hypervisor console
• Networking depth: VLANs, routing, SDN concepts, and firewall policy, sufficient to own the network configuration your platform requires without external hand-holding
• Experience delivering infrastructure as a self-service platform, or working in an IaaS/PaaS model for internal consumers
• Automation mindset with practical experience in Ansible, Terraform, or comparable IaC tooling
• Monitoring and observability experience relevant to compute infrastructure
• English proficiency at B2 level or above - working language across a multicultural team
• Relevant certifications (e.g. Nutanix NCP) are a plus
