## **The role**

**Skipper By Actual,** is looking for an independent expert on behalf of a large multi-entity European group.

### The context

The Group IT department is transforming its Infrastructure & Operations organization and creating a Cloud Platform team. This team designs and evolves the Group's common technical foundations. It provides IT teams with standardized, automated, secure, resilient, and cost-controlled cloud services.

### Your mission

You are the senior technical lead for the platform. The role is 100% expertise-based: there is no hierarchical management, but you provide technical leadership to the team and maintain a strong operational component.

- **Technical vision**:
  - define the trajectory, standards, and reference components;
  - ensure consistency between cloud, network, identity, security, and backup;
  - stay updated on next-generation solutions (cyber-resilience, containers, AI applied to operations).

- **Cloud foundations**: design and evolve Azure and OVHcloud Landing Zones (management groups, subscriptions, policies, naming conventions). You also support the adoption of IaaS, PaaS, and containers.

- **Industrialization**: define Infrastructure as Code standards and develop reusable Terraform modules. You implement CI/CD pipelines and self-service provisioning, i.e., the automatic provision of environments.

  \###
- **Resilience and backup**
  - define the principles of high availability, BCP, and DRP;
  - conduct backup reviews;
  - manage restoration tests and recovery exercises, then follow up on the resulting action plans.

- **Security and observability**: implement IAM, RBAC, secret and certificate management. You also define standards for logs, metrics, and alerts.

- **Technical leadership**: lead design and code reviews, support engineers, and organize knowledge sharing.

- **Projects and operations**: provide level 3 expertise on major incidents and conduct root cause analyses. You also support country teams in adopting Group standards.

- **FinOps**: integrate costs into architectural choices, manage tagging and cost allocation, and propose optimization actions (resource adjustment, decommissioning).

**Profile sought**

- At least 8 years of experience in infrastructure and cloud. Experience in operations or production is highly appreciated.
- Proven expertise in Microsoft Azure: Landing Zones, IaaS, PaaS, networking, and governance.
- Proven expertise in backup, storage, BCP, and DRP:
  - market solutions (Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity…);
  - Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery;
  - SAN, NAS, and object storage.

- Proficiency in Terraform, Git, GitLab (or an equivalent tool), and CI/CD pipelines.

- Proficiency in PowerShell and knowledge of Python.

- Good knowledge of Kubernetes and AKS, IAM, RBAC, and Zero Trust principles, as well as monitoring tools.

- Experience with OVHcloud or a regulated environment is an asset.

- Appreciated certifications: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, DevOps Engineer Expert, Terraform Associate, CKA/CKAD, FinOps Certified Practitioner, ITIL.

- Leadership without hierarchical authority, pedagogy, and ability to challenge suppliers.

- Professional French and English. You have already worked in an international or multi-entity environment.
