Cloud Operations Engineer

Nombre de vacante Cloud Operations Engineer Descripción We’re looking for a Cloud Operations Engineer to join our Cloud Operations team in Barcelona and help run reliable, secure, and cost-efficient production platforms across a multi-cloud, multi-region, geo-distributed environment. This is a hands-on, operationally focused role supporting SaaS services and infrastructure that must remain highly available and performant around the clock.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, Security, and Product teams to support day-to-day operations, drive automation, strengthen observability, and reduce cloud waste through disciplined resource management. If you enjoy working across modern cloud platforms with real production responsibility and a bias toward operational excellence, this role is a strong fit.

This role includes participation in a 24/7 on-call rota.

This is a hybrid role working 3 days a week in our Barcelona office.
