Cloud Engineer

Welcome to the IBM Client Engineering! We are an innovation team that  prove IBM’s technology and services through co-creation with clients. We  help bring IBM technology to life with a multi-disciplinary team of  designers, architects, developers and data scientists, applying  user-centric approaches to ensure that everything we do adds value for  users and achieves the desired client impact.  
With our mantra  of “show not tell”, our work can take many forms from a simple demo, to  creating a minimum viable product (MVP) that might end up as a  production application. It’s a dynamic and exciting environment built on  a methodology which encompasses design thinking, Agile and DevOps  practices.
But IBM is more than “just” the Client Engineering.  Could you be our next Master Inventor? Do you want to make a positive  impact on those around you? Being an IBMer presents many opportunities  including filing patents, getting involved in giveback and contributing  to communities such as Women in Technology or Black, Asian &  Minority Ethnic (BAME).

Your Role and Responsibilities
Cloud Engineers in IBM’s Client Engineering are part of a  cross-functional team delivering a unique client co-creation experience  to accelerate client transformation. As part of an entrepreneurial team,  you will use contemporary technologies and approaches to design,  develop, test, and deliver solutions. You will apply a user-centric  approach to ensure all features add value for the user and achieve the  desired client impact. You understand the nuances of different cloud  solutions (hybrid, public, private, multi-cloud, on-premise) and  implications for solution design. You understand the relationship among  various technologies and architectures and how they contribute to the  overall solution. You will develop a deep understanding of complex,  large scale multi-region solutions which utilise multiple independent  life cycle micro-services. An ideal candidate will be familiar with  Design Thinking, Behaviour and Test-Driven Development, and application  of Agile methodologies.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• Demonstrate a growth mindset and continuous learning; stay current  on IBM strategies and offerings with understanding of technical  principles of Docker and Kubernetes
• Use DevOps engineering practices and methods to plan and create software applications
• Employ IBM’s Design Thinking to create products and services that  provide a great user experience along with high performance, security,  quality, and stability; ensure that the implemented solutions are unit  tested and ready to integrate in products
• Demonstrate strong analytical, problem solving and troubleshooting skills combined in an Agile process
• Engineer solutions in areas such as cloud foundation, cloud  services, cloud management applications, machine learning, computational  linguistics, natural language processing and security applications
