- Full-time
Metzingen
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
