Cloud Automation Engineers should have knowledge of automating Infrastructure creation, deployment and management in private, public and hybrid cloud models.

• Deliver automation and orchestration of business and technology workflows across Sky’s cloud estate using IaC and Automation tooling
• Contribute to creation of the Cloud Engineering roadmap, specifically for the application of Artificial Intelligence and Automation to Infrastructure management
• Evaluate new and emerging technologies, services and tools for innovative new capabilities
• Provide and deliver Proof of Concept (PoC) activities for Infrastructure automation tools and approaches, building these out to full Production services as required
• Build relationships & collaborate across Sky to establish and implement consistent approaches and application of automation technologies to cloud based Infrastructure

What you’ll bring:

• Extensive experience working with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and Concourse CI in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments
• Significant experience in the design and automated delivery of highly available and resilient technology Infrastructure for bare metal, virtualized, containerized and Cloud Native solutions
• Proficiency in at least one high-level programming language used for Infrastructure automation (e.g., JSON, Python, etc.…)
• Robust understanding of DevOps and SRE approaches and methodologies and using DevOps tooling (e.g., Git, Jira etc.) to create software artefacts and IaC solutions
• Intellectual curiosity and an inquiring mind – you will seek out new approaches, ideas and opportunities and be able to demonstrate a track record of doing so to bring about positive change
• Excellent verbal and written communications and presentation skills
