Site Reliability Engineer

• Develop Infrastructure as Code with Ansible and Terraform - typically spec-first with LLM assistance, then human-validated; push this further via custom agent / sub-agent setups, agentic test generation, and prompt-engineered review loops.
• Drive the ongoing development of our Kubernetes stack and GitOps workflows (FluxCD / ArgoCD).
• Own the full lifecycle of our compute infrastructure - from bare-metal (firmware, provisioning, hardware health) through hypervisors to virtual compute nodes - and build the automation that keeps capacity healthy and rolls out updates without disturbing tenant workloads.
• Build and extend the AI substrate that compounds our output: Markdown knowledge bases as retrieval substrate, agentic prototypes for incident triage and capacity planning, and deeper integration of agentic coding tools into daily work.
• Contribute to the self-healing direction, turning today's manual runbooks into tomorrow's reasoning agents. Auto-remediation isn't a separate team here - it's how platform work is meant to land.
• Design and implement test suites aligned with functional and technical specs (non-regression, performance, security).
• Document and package the solution so users can deploy and operate it without friction, and keep improving the platform based on telemetry and user feedback.
• Act as a technical reference and mentor across automation, platform engineering, and AI-tooling topics.

• Claude Code/ Cursor/ agentic coding tooling, * Several years of hands-on experience running production infrastructure (SRE, Platform, or DevOps).
• Solid OpenStack experience - deployed, operated, and debugged it in production.
• End-to-end compute infrastructure management, from bare-metal lifecycle through hypervisor and virtual compute node operations (migration, host evacuation, graceful drains, capacity rebalancing). The skill matters more than the specific tooling - what counts is having done it at scale and automated it.
• Strong with Infrastructure as Code (Ansible, Terraform) and GitOps (FluxCD or ArgoCD), plus solid Linux administration including on bare-metal.
• Active, daily practice of AI-assisted engineering, with opinions formed from real use. You can describe a workflow where an LLM saved you half a day, and one where you should have skipped it. Theoretical interest doesn't count.
• Fluent English, written and spoken - our team is distributed, and this is the working language.
• Nice to Have

• Production experience with Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem.
• Production-quality Go and/or Python.
• Deeper agentic tooling craft (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider): custom agent / sub-agent setups, hooks, prompt engineering, your own workflows or skills and managing a Markdown-first knowledge base as substrate for AI workflows.
• Advanced compute-node tuning (CPU pinning, NUMA, hugepages, SR-IOV / PCI passthrough) and basic network debugging (VLANs, BGP).
• Observability tooling (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, etc.) and auto-remediation / self-healing systems (StackStorm, Event-Driven Ansible, or similar).
• Experience in security-critical environments and with edge or multi-site deployments.

• Soft Skills

• A continuous-improvement mindset and ownership for what you build.
• You see AI tooling as a structural shift in how engineering gets done - not a trend, not a threat and want to shape how the team adopts it.
• You enjoy sharing knowledge, learning from peers, and can synthesize ideas clearly.

Pulled from the full job description

• Gym membership
• Flexible schedule, * A platform that is genuinely in build mode - your architectural decisions stick.
• A senior team where seniority means autonomy, not just a title.
• AI-augmented engineering as a first-class workflow -Claude Code and comparable agentic tooling, Markdown-KB-as-substrate, and room to push the practice further. Modern tooling that compounds your work instead of just sitting next to it.
• Exceptional team spirit across all departments and national borders - we live #OneTeam
• Exciting work in a highly innovative, international environment with cutting-edge technologies
• 32 vacation days, increasing with length of service
• Flexible working hours, home-office options, and a secure permanent position with market- and performance-based compensation
• Employer-funded pension plan and an attractive insurance package
• OVHcloud covers 50% of public transportation costs
• Up to €400 per year toward sports activities (gym membership, classes, etc.)
• Attractive discounts at numerous shops and companies through Corporate Benefits
• A contribution toward leasing your cargo bike
• Regular company events and free cold and hot beverages

At gridscale we build and maintain cloud-infrastructure of the next generation for our customers. Our ambition is to provide the world's simplest and most reliable IaaS and PaaS solution.
