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 ## 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 ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
