Senior Private Cloud engineer (Human)

NEURA's Computing Services team owns the full server, storage, and private cloud stack. As our Senior Private Cloud Engineer, you'll take full ownership of our private cloud environments — designing, operating, and evolving them as a platform that engineering and research teams can depend on. This is a role with real scope: end-to-end responsibility, full admin access across the stack, and a direct hand in shaping the private cloud environment at NEURA Robotics.

Your mission & challenges

• Own and operate NEURA's private cloud infrastructure end-to-end — from cluster architecture through day-to-day platform management
• Design and evolve the private cloud as an internal platform — standardised, self-service-capable compute for development, production, and research workloads across the company
• Take responsibility for all layers the platform depends on, including virtualisation, networking (VLANs, routing, SDN), storage, and identity integration
• Build and mature monitoring and observability across the platform, ensuring capacity transparency, alerting, and reliable incident detection
• Drive infrastructure automation using tools such as Ansible and Terraform; reduce manual toil through repeatable, auditable processes
• Own hardware lifecycle management, capacity planning, and high availability design for on-premises compute
• Work closely with Linux admins, Windows admins, and the storage engineer to define clean service boundaries within Computing Services
• Help shape the Computing Services function — your technical decisions and working practices will set the standard

What we can look forward to

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience
• Several years of hands-on experience owning and operating private cloud or hypervisor platforms at a senior level — including clustering, high availability, and storage configuration; you have owned the platform, not just operated it
• Strong Linux fundamentals at OS level — comfortable well below the hypervisor console
• Networking depth: VLANs, routing, SDN concepts, and firewall policy, sufficient to own the network configuration your platform requires without external hand-holding
• Experience delivering infrastructure as a self-service platform, or working in an IaaS/PaaS model for internal consumers
• Automation mindset with practical experience in Ansible, Terraform, or comparable IaC tooling
• Monitoring and observability experience relevant to compute infrastructure
• English proficiency at B2 level or above — working language across a multicultural team
• Relevant certifications (e.g. Nutanix NCP) are a plus
