Senior Cloud Developer role in HPE's Hybrid Cloud group, focused on engineering automation and reliability for the HPE VM Essentials (VME) private cloud platform and HPE CloudOps Suite.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain automation for VM lifecycle management, provisioning workflows, patching, and configuration using Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent IaC tooling.
• Develop scripts and tools (Python/Bash) to automate health checks, capacity reporting, drift detection, and routine operational tasks.
• Own and improve CI/CD-style pipelines for infrastructure changes (version-controlled playbooks/templates, peer-reviewed changes, staged rollouts).
• Build self-healing automation and proactive alerting to reduce manual intervention.
• Administer and troubleshoot RHEL/Ubuntu (or similar) Linux servers, including services, storage, networking, and log analysis.
• Analyze system and kernel logs to support incident diagnosis (storage errors, service failures, resource exhaustion).
• Support integration tasks between orchestration tooling and underlying infrastructure.
• Write and maintain infrastructure-as-code documentation, architecture diagrams, and runbooks as living engineering artifacts.
• Contribute to design reviews and engineering retrospectives, driving permanent fixes into automation and standards.

• Automation: working knowledge of scripting (Bash and/or Python) and at least one automation/config management tool (Ansible preferred).
• Cloud platforms: practical exposure to at least one public cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) or private cloud orchestration platform (Morpheus, OpenStack, or similar).
