QRT’s culture of innovation continuously drives our ambition to deliver high-quality returns for our investors.

Your future role within QRT:

QRT is expanding its global Network Operations capability to provide first-class 24/7 operational support for critical global network infrastructure and is seeking a Cloud SME within the Network SRE team. The successful candidate will act as the subject matter expert for cloud networking within the Cloud Network SRE team.

You will be responsible for helping manage and maintain QRT’s cloud, on-prem and network automation platforms. QRT operates with an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) mindset, so you will be expected to demonstrate experience operating complex infrastructure at scale through automation, controlled releases and robust change governance.

You will work closely with Network Engineering, Network Automation, Platform Engineering, Research, trading support and external vendor teams to drive continuous improvement, observability, self-healing automation, security, availability and reliability across our global hybrid cloud, WAN, Internet, datacentre and low-latency network footprint, while spearheading the team’s strategic roadmap and backlog delivery.
