Spanning more than 35 specialised companies and multiple centres of excellence, we are purpose-built to move fast.

Based in Abu Dhabi, a globally connected hub at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, EDGE is home to a truly multicultural community where bold ideas thrive, and the future is shaped.

Together, we are shaping the future.

About The Opportunity We're building a highly resilient hybrid multicloud platform spanning Nutanix and public cloud, while delivering a major migration from VMware. We're looking for a Platform Reliability Engineer who is passionate about automation, resilience, recoverability, and operational excellence. This is not a traditional infrastructure operations role. We want someone who can demonstrate how they have improved platform reliability through engineering, automation, monitoring, disaster recovery testing, and continuous improvement.

What You'll Be Doing

• Ensuring the reliability, performance, and recoverability of critical platform services
• Managing and validating backup and recovery capabilities using enterprise tools such as Rubrik
• Planning and executing disaster recovery testing and recovery assurance activities
• Supporting platform and workload migrations from VMware to modern cloud platforms
• Developing automation to reduce operational effort and improve service reliability
• Improving observability, monitoring, alerting, and operational readiness across the platform

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with enterprise infrastructure, cloud, or platform engineering
• Experience with Nutanix, VMware, public cloud platforms, and backup/recovery technologies
• Strong PowerShell, Python, or similar automation skills
• Experience improving platform resilience, recoverability, and operational efficiency through automation
• Proven ability to reduce operational toil and improve reliability at scale

For this role, you must be able to demonstrate:

• Reliability improvements you've delivered and how success was measured
• Disaster recovery programmes or recovery testing you've led
• Operational processes you've automated and the impact achieved
• How you validate recoverability, not just successful backups
• Major migration or transformation programmes you've supported

If you're passionate about building resilient platforms, proving recoverability, and eliminating manual operational effort through automation, we'd like to hear from you.

Why Choose EDGE? Working at EDGE comes with a package that genuinely reflects how much we value our people. Salaries are highly competitive and tax-free and, depending on your role and seniority, benefits can include family visas, annual flight tickets, medical insurance for you and your dependants, and education allowances for your children.
