[MSO] OpenStack Engineer
Job Description
Project – the aim you’ll have
You will join an internal OpenStack team that builds and operates private and sovereign cloud platforms for enterprise clients in Western Europe. Environments range from multi region platforms across several data centres to compact telco and edge clusters. Key selling points: hands on work on client production platforms, mentoring from senior engineers and architects, and a defined path to senior level.
Role – how you’ll contribute
• Install and configure OpenStack components with Kolla-Ansible in line with the approved design.
• Prepare infrastructure nodes: operating system, KVM virtualisation, container runtime, network interfaces and storage access.
• Configure networking and storage: OVN tenant networks, VLAN provider networks, Cinder volume types and boot from volume scenarios.
• Deploy monitoring and logging: Prometheus with exporters, Alertmanager, Grafana, Fluentd and OpenSearch.
• Handle second line incidents and service requests within the agreed service levels.
• Execute planned changes and maintenance: patching, node replacement, virtual machine evacuation and upgrade support.
• Maintain the configuration repositories through merge requests and promote changes between environments.
• Automate repeatable work with Ansible and CI pipelines, and take part in the on call rotation.
