People work together to solve complex challenges, exchange ideas openly and continuously improve the solutions they deliver. It is an environment where technical expertise and teamwork go hand in hand.

The Difference You Will Make:

• The cloud platforms you design and maintain will be at the core of how Earth Observation data is processed, analysed and delivered to end users. Your work will enable reliable access to large volumes of data and support applications used in environmental monitoring, climate analysis and geospatial intelligence.
• By building secure, scalable and cost-efficient cloud environments, you help transform raw data into actionable insights. Your contribution strengthens Serco France’s role as a trusted technical partner and supports clients in adopting modern cloud-native solutions with confidence. Through your work, complex systems become more resilient, efficient and easier to evolve over time.

What You’ll Do:

• In this role, you will design, deploy and operate cloud infrastructures that support Earth Observation workflows and data processing pipelines.

You will develop automated pipelines, integrate EO data sources and ensure that systems remain reliable and scalable as demand evolves.
• You will apply DevOps practices to improve deployment, monitoring and maintenance, using automation tools to simplify operations and reduce risk. Monitoring system performance, troubleshooting issues and optimising resource usage will be part of your daily work. You will also ensure that cloud environments meet security, data governance and sustainability requirements.
• As part of a collaborative team, you will contribute to the adoption of new cloud technologies and best practices. You will document your solutions clearly and provide technical support to colleagues and stakeholders, helping them understand and use the systems effectively.

What You Bring:

• You bring solid experience as a Cloud Engineer and feel confident working in data-intensive environments. You have hands-on experience with major cloud platforms and are comfortable using infrastructure-as-code and automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Docker and Kubernetes. You understand networking fundamentals and know how to design secure architectures, including firewall configuration, VPN connections and routing.
• You have experience working with scripting and programming languages such as Python or Bash and enjoy automating workflows to improve reliability and efficiency. Familiarity with Earth Observation data formats like GeoTIFF or NetCDF, as well as geospatial tools such as QGIS, GDAL or Google Earth Engine, is a strong advantage.
• You communicate clearly, work well independently and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Cloud certifications are appreciated, as is a background in environmental science, remote sensing or geoinformatics. You are comfortable working in an international environment and are fluent in both French and English.
• Above all, you bring curiosity, initiative and a desire to contribute to solutions that support meaningful scientific and environmental missions. You must also hold EU nationality.
