The team you'll be part of

Cloud and Network Services is a leading Nokia business group that offers Network solutions on Core, Business and Enterprise segments, as well as Cloud solutions and Cognitive Services. It is a newly formed business group, that includes most of the former Nokia Software business, Nokia's enterprise solutions, core network solutions including both voice and packet core, and managed and advanced services from its former Global Services unit. This unit will also act as a delivery channel of certain products from other business groups to enterprise customers. Cloud and Network Services (CNS) will target growth by leveraging the industry transition to cloud-based delivery, network-as-a-service business models, and software-led value creation.

As a Cloud Infrastructure SRE, you will be part of a special R&D production development task force preventing and solving the most critical and strategic customer issues encountered in the field. In an ever-growing demand for 5G network infrastructure and increasing customer install base, as a Cloud Infra SRE you will enable telco-grade cloud-native applications to be deployed on top of any cloud, private and public: Nokia's own cloud infrastructure (based on open-source tools
such as K8s/Docker as well as OpenStack), VMware Tanzu, OpenShift, AWS EC2 /EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS.
As part of this challenging role, you will also help to build new CI/CD automation tools and best practices/processes for the deployment and updates of various telco-grade products, on top of Nokia Continuous Delivery platform. The automation will add agility, reliability and overall efficiency for both telco-cloud(s) and application workloads. You will create automation tools that will be used by the rest of the team as well as professional services and operations teams, to simplify "day one" and "day two" operations. You will be working side by side with product developers and product management to push automation and operability tools to make the cloud platform more reliable.
As a Cloud Infra SRE, you will be engaging the most strategic customer activities: early deliveries of products and platform, assist in validating and defining the best solution architecture, solving complex problems and contributing the solutions into SRE and Product branches. It is expected that things will not go smoothly all the
time, so you will also automate and implement the solution for a problem you have solved, so the system will recover automatically next time. Developing and automating will be 50% of your day to day activities while running the cloud infrastructure operations will take the rest of your time. Additionally, you will be enabling our global services teams on our new products, platforms, tools and features, especially the SRE tools developed by the team.
