We are looking for an Infrastructure Systems Engineer that will help ensure that our products run effectively so that our clients can receive maximum value from Sinch’s products and services.
The essence of the role
Sinch is looking for an Infrastructure Systems Engineer to strengthen our Cloud Infrastructure team in Messaging. Our mission is to develop, automate, maintain and operate our cloud infrastructure and adapt to ever-changing business requirements, assist our development and support teams while focusing on continuous delivery of service.
Our mission is to maintain and meet the requirement changes in our Enterprise division. You will maintain and develop our AWS and virtual infrastructure in general. We have also made the decision to add Azure, so this is a great time to join if you are keen to work with Azure as well. We make sure we have an updated, secure and reliable infrastructure.
You will be involved in and drive improvements in our scaling multi-cloud environment and make sure that we design environments that align with best practices, business requirements, high availability, security and customer interest. At the core, you will be hands-on with AWS and Azure and align with other stakeholders within and outside the team. You will be a key player in delivering world-class services to our customers.
Today the team handles virtual servers, database-clusters and Kubernetes clusters for both our production and internal platforms.
We are on an exciting journey towards multi-cloud and we need you with strong DevOps interest and passion for AWS and Azure on board with us!
As our new Cloud Infrastructure Engineer you will be responsible for:

You have a general understanding of infrastructure and especially AWS and Azure, and you understand and can talk to engineers and developers. Maybe you are a system administrator feeling eager to work more with cloud engineering? Your responsibility and complexity of assignments will depend on your past experience and future ambitions.
To succeed in this role, you need a developer mindset and enjoy working with operations and making sure everything is running as it is supposed to.
