Job description

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure & Agentic Architect (f/m/d) to own the technical foundation of our cloud platform. You will maintain our service catalog, design architectural blueprints, establish the observability standard, and - most distinctively - bring hands-on LLM-driven tooling skills to a team actively shaping what the next generation of cloud operations looks like., * Build and maintain a minimalistic, opinionated service catalog of approved cloud components across Google Cloud and Azure

  • Apply a serverless-first, PaaS-first philosophy - challenge complexity and push back on unnecessary infrastructure sprawl

  • For every approved catalog entry, deliver production-ready configuration: IaC, security baseline,observability hooks, and runbook
  • Scrutinise every new component request and justify its addition in terms of cost, operational overhead, and platform alignment

Cloud Architecture

  • Define, document, and govern cloud architectural blueprints across networking, compute, storage and data layers
  • Design event-driven pipelines that trigger AI-assisted validation, drift detection, and deployment gates
  • Serve as the technical authority on platform design decisions within your domain

LLM-Driven Operations

  • Implement LLM-based automated deployment capabilities using tools such as OpenCode, Claude Code, or equivalent frameworks
  • Design and operate infrastructure workflows augmented by AI agents - from deployment validation to configuration drift detection
  • Stay ahead of the market in AI-assisted tooling and bring relevant innovations into the platform

Observability

  • Define the observability standard: structured logging, distributed tracing, alerting, dashboards, and SLO/SLA frameworks
  • Establish platform-level KPIs and ensure consistent adoption across engineering teams

Collaboration

  • Partner with DevOps and Engineering teams to embed platform standards into delivery pipelines
  • Partner with SecOps to integrate all controls and security requirements
  • Document everything: blueprints, ADRs, runbooks, onboarding guides, Month 3: Service catalog baseline documented; at least 10 approved components with full IaC, security baseline, and runbooks in place Month 6: Observability standard adopted by 8+ engineering teams; LLM-assisted deployment workflows running in production Month 12: Platform architecture ADRs covering all major components; FinOps baseline established; catalog governance process self-sustaining

You’re probably NOT a fit if

  • You need a large team to delegate to before making decisions
  • You prefer deep specialisation in a single cloud over breadth across two
  • You’re not actively following the LLM/AI tooling space
  • You’re looking for a role with clearly defined scope and minimal ambiguity

What we offer

  • Multicultural team across 7 countries (Germany, France, UK, UAE, Spain, New Zealand, Australia)
  • Hybrid-first working
  • Continuous learning & certification budget (GCP / Azure certifications fully sponsored)
  • Open, inclusive, and high-ownership culture

Requirements

You have operated multi-cloud Kubernetes environments in production, built IaC pipelines with Terraform and have hands-on experience with LLM-driven tooling in real engineering workflows. Specifically:

  • Proven cloud networking experience: firewalls, gateways, VPCs, VPNs, private service connect, and network security groups
  • Strong, current proficiency across Google Cloud Platform (GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, VPC, Cloud Armor, Pub/Sub, Artifact Registry) and Microsoft Azure
  • Proven IaC experience with Terraform (required); Ansible a strong plus
  • Proven hands-on LLM tooling experience: must have used OpenCode, Claude Code, or equivalent AI-assisted coding/deployment agents in real engineering workflows
  • Kubernetes at scale: demonstrated experience operating AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) and GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) - cluster lifecycle, upgrades, networking, and workload management
  • Experience with Vertex AI, Azure AI Foundry, or similar cloud model gardens Comfortable working in ambiguity, driving clarity from first principles without heavy process support

  • Experience in Agile/fast-iteration environments with high individual ownership

Nice-to-Have (Bonus Skills)

  • Knowledge of C5, SecNumCloud, ISO 27001, or equivalent cloud security frameworks FinOps - cost attribution, rightsizing, commitment strategies

  • Prior experience in a SaaS product company at scale
  • Platform engineering / SRE background

Soft Skills

  • Intense technical curiosity - you follow the market, test new tools, and form opinions before they become mainstream
  • Strong problem-solving discipline: you reach for first principles, not familiarity
  • Ownership mindset - you build it, you run it, you improve it
  • Clear written and verbal communication: able to document decisions and explain them to non specialists
  • Operates well under pressure and tight constraints - energised by hard problems
  • Strong negotiation skills - fact-driven and data-driven: you argue with evidence, not opinion
  • Highly collaborative: you build alignment across engineering, SecOps, and leadership
