Cloud Engineer (VMWare)

Our growing team operates across the cloud and infrastructure technologies domains. We are expanding our engineering capability and are looking for people who understand Linux in real depth. The role is focused on specific projects and delivering outcomes, which will change regularly. This is not an operations role - you will see a wide range of challenges over time, every project is different. Innovation is at the heart of all we do, which is why you will be utilising various open-source and proprietary technologies.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

Your role as a VMWare Engineer within Capgemini's vibrant cloud platform team will involve:

• Migrating Workloads to Cloud - working as part of a team to migrate application workloads to public cloud, taking end-to-end responsibility for the Linux workloads.
• Platform Modernisation - helping clients embrace open-source solutions embracing Linux, moving away from complex and expensive mid-range systems.
• Public Cloud Deployment - working with a DevOps or SRE squad, providing expertise across all Linux domains, often including modern application hosting solutions such as docker, Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.
• Optimising Linux Platforms - helping to improve resilience, availability, monitoring, automation and security, often in public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), using open-source, commercial and cloud platform tools & services.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, striving for equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Your skills and experience:

• Experience in VMWare particularly Aria and Cloud Foundation, and migration from VMware to AWS, Azure and GCP cloud environments.
• In-depth knowledge of Linux, covering one or more distros (RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu, etc.), including high availability & clustering deployment patterns.
• Experience working with Linux and open-source technologies in public cloud, demonstrating having delivered Linux-based solutions in a project context having been accountable for technical delivery and quality.
• Knowledge of DevOps and SRE delivery models - being able to work in a team or squad, adopting agile methods and ways of working.
• Can demonstrate examples of using scripting (Python, Shell, Perl) to deliver automation experience of vendor solutions like Ansible Tower, SUSE Manager or other open-source tools.
• Experience with docker, Kubernetes and/or Red Hat OpenShift - implementing, optimising and operating.
• Knowledge and experience in one or more public cloud platforms and a good all-round knowledge of infrastructure technologies (compute, storage, networks, data, security).
• Demonstrate and provide evidence of the ability to interact with team members and clients, develop documentation effectively, and present themselves professionally.

You might not have all the qualities - we understand that. If you can demonstrate real expertise in a few and a working knowledge of most, if you show us your passion to develop - then we will support you.

Your security clearance: To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance. To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.

Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality. Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.

What does 'Get The Future You Want' mean for you? You will be empowered to explore, innovate, and progress. You will benefit from Capgemini's 'learning for life' mindset, meaning you will have countless training and development opportunities from thinktanks to hackathons, and access to 250,000 courses with numerous external certifications from AWS, Microsoft, Harvard ManageMentor, Cybersecurity qualifications and much more.

You will be encouraged to have a positive work-life balance. Our hybrid-first way of working means we embed hybrid working in all that we do and make flexible working arrangements the day-to-day reality for our people. All UK employees are eligible to request flexible working arrangements.
