What will you be doing?

As an Associate Infrastructure Engineer – Cloud, you’ll begin your cloud career at the center of
WWT’s multi-cloud journey, in a role that blends two of the things we value most: strong
partnership and hands-on engineering.

Your first focus is partnership. Working alongside senior and mid-level engineers, you’ll build
relationships across the organization with our IAM, Network, Information Security, Platform and

Your second focus is building. You’ll help extend WWT’s core infrastructure services (compute,
virtual machines, storage, virtualization, operating systems, and Kubernetes) into the cloud,
supporting the design, automation, and operation of these services across Microsoft Azure,
Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With guidance from senior engineers,
you’ll learn to take part in an on-call rotation and contribute to the reliability, security, and cost-
efficiency of our environments.

Above all, this is a learning and growth opportunity, ideal for a passionate, collaborative early-
career engineer with strong communication skills who is eager to build their cloud and
infrastructure expertise while helping teams across the business succeed.
