Position: Principal Cloud Engineer Brambles Digital – UK or MadridPosition PurposeCloud Engineers set up, operate, develop, evolve, and maintain cloud-centric platform(s) including IoT, Customer Solution Delivery, Data Science Environments and Software Delivery, as well as satellite tools and environments (file storage, databases, TensorFlow, data streaming, eventing, machine learning and big data frameworks, notebook technologies, and container orchestration tooling).Location: UK or Madrid.Measures:Successful roll out, development and continuous evolution and operation of cloud-based data science and machine learning platforms, IoT, Edge and Software Delivery frameworks, both for research & development and for continuous operationEffective support of data science projects, digitisation projects and software delivery projectsReliability of systems Adoption of systemsMajor/Key Accountabilities Design, develop, release and operate bespoke software tools, DSLs, parsers, libraries, frameworks, and services, through development in system languages such as Go, C, C++, Rust etc which are used by application software development teams and software operations teams. Currently the majority of this code is written in Go.Engage with all development teams, to improve and extend the existing tooling. The purpose is to enable them to scale, and focus on feature development, by providing a common technical platform / infrastructure, and improving developer experience.Develop, release, operate software tools, libraries, frameworks and services written in mainly in GoDesign new tools and improve/extend existing ones by engaging with key stakeholders and team leadsSupport and train tool users in application development and software operations teamsResponsible for learning, operating, evolving, contributing to, and maintaining Brambles Digital bespoke frameworks that support the BRIX platform (such as specific data pipes and bespoke terminal applications and REPLs) Responsible for rigorous testing of tools, libraries, frameworks, and services robustness and scalabilityWill contribute to data science / engineering teams discussions, providing insight as needed on other team member’s current approaches and methods as well as on tools and data repositoriesLiaise with Brambles Digital Cloud Engineering / BRIX digital operations, in order to understand current software operation and operation tooling Build and maintain Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines used in the release process Operate and monitor software services running in a Kubernetes environment, and natively on AWS relevant to bespoke software tools, DSLs, parsers, libraries, frameworks, and services.Responsible for contributing to capability building of the team, including researching and staying up-to-date on best practices e.g. Platform EngineeringCreate user documentation, troubleshooting guides, FAQs for software tools, and services.
