·  Resolve the root cause of complex problems, leaving systems better and easier to maintain than when you found them;
·  Maintain and operate the Ubisoft Private Cloud platforms (Openstack/KVM) with an emphasis on security, using documented, automated installation and support procedures;
·  Conduct virtual infrastructure capacity forecast and health assessments and improve resource allocation on the virtual platform by proposing various usage optimizations;
·  Perform system & application patching, upgrade firmware and monitor system events to ensure health, maximum system availability and service quality;
·  Maintain documentation regarding configurations, operations and troubleshooting procedures related to the Cloud platforms;
·  Participate in the definition of standards, guidelines, best practices and metrics as directed;
·  Work on project ideas with stakeholders, and peers;
·  Answer user’s query and service requests.

Experience

·  A bachelors Degree or equivalent experience in Computer Information Systems or a related field;
·  3+ years of experience in management of a virtualization or Openstack Cloud platform and/or 3+ years’ experience in Linux system administration/DevOps.

Skills

·  In-depth understanding of Public Cloud providers like Amazon AWS, GCP, Azure;
·  In-depth understanding of Openstack;
·  General knowledge of Microsoft Windows Server / Active Directory;
