You use LLMs and agentic tools where they meaningfully support development, testing, reviews, or operations, and you know where AI adds real value and where strong engineering expertise remains essential. * You are confident working with Ansible, Terraform and GitOps workflows such as FluxCD or ArgoCD and understand what it takes to turn automation into robust, repeatable production systems. * Ideally, you write Go and/or Python and have experience with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider or comparable agentic coding environments. Exposure to observability, networking, compute tuning, auto-remediation, security-critical infrastructure or multi-site clouds is also a plus. * You work autonomously, bring a strong sense of ownership and enjoy improving systems rather than simply keeping them running. You also enjoy sharing knowledge and can communicate complex technical topics clearly. * You are fluent in English, written and spoken. English is the working language of our distributed team. ## Description You will help us build, operate and industrialize OVHcloud's on-premise cloud platform. As part of a small, senior team, you will work on our OpenStack-based infrastructure and the Kubernetes / GitOps stack powering our customer-facing cloud. AI-assisted engineering is a first-class part of how we work - from spec-driven development and agentic coding workflows to incident response and automation. The platform is in active development, giving you real influence on the architecture, automation strategy and how we adopt AI in platform engineering. As a Senior Engineer, you take ownership of your area and shape your focus based on your strengths, with a clear backbone of automation, compute lifecycle, platform engineering and AI substrate work., * Design and build our OpenStack-based on-premise cloud infrastructure, with the goal of bringing complete cloud environments from bare metal to production through a highly automated deployment process. * Develop and operate Infrastructure as Code with Ansible and Terraform as well as our Kubernetes and GitOps workflows using FluxCD / ArgoCD, supported by LLMs, agentic workflows and automated testing and review. * Own the lifecycle of our compute infrastructure - from bare metal, firmware and provisioning through to hypervisors and virtual compute nodes. This includes patching, migrations, host evacuation, capacity rebalancing and the automation required to keep the platform healthy. * Build and extend our AI substrate and self-healing capabilities, from structured knowledge bases and agentic workflows for incident triage and capacity planning to gradually turning today's manual runbooks into automated processes. * Design tests for non-regression, performance and security, document and package solutions, and continuously improve the platform based on telemetry, operational experience and user feedback. * Act as a technical reference and sparring partner for peers across automation, platform engineering and AI tooling. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
