The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO) is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive ground-based astronomical observatory. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries.

ESO operates three unique world-class observing sites in northern Chile: La Silla, Paranal and Chajnantor (home to ALMA and APEX), and the ESO Headquarters are located in Garching, near Munich, Germany.

At Paranal, ESO operates the Very Large Telescope, the world's most advanced visible-light astronomical observatory, and will host and operate the southern array of the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the world's largest and most sensitive high energy gamma-ray observatory. ESO is a major partner in ALMA, the largest astronomical project in existence. And on Cerro Armazones, ESO is building the 39-metre Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which will become "the world's biggest eye on the sky" and whose operations will be fully integrated into the Paranal Observatory.

For its IT Department in the IT Architecture Group in Garching, within the Directorate of Engineering, ESO is opening a Local Staff Member position of:

ESO's IT landscape is undergoing a broad digital transformation to modernise and improve its operations. A major focus of this effort is the Integrated Operations Programme, which is going to transform operations for the VLT and the upcoming ELT at the Paranal Observatory. In this context, Cloud Support Engineers play a key role enabling and maintaining secure, efficient, and scalable cloud-based services - supporting the deployment, performance, and reliability of mission-critical applications as part of ESO's digital transformation.

• Support the deployment and integration of cloud services in a secure and compliant environment, guided by architectural direction.
• Work on infrastructure provisioning and automation using infrastructure-as-code tools and best practices.
• Manage and maintain cloud identity and access management, including roles, permissions and service principals.
• Troubleshoot issues across cloud platforms, networks, and hybrid workloads, ensuring timely resolution and root cause analysis.
• Monitor and support the performance, availability, and integrity of cloud and hybrid resources across environments.
• Participate in operational improvements and contribute ideas for optimizing cloud reliability, cost, and scalability.
• Maintain clear and up-to-date documentation, procedures, and operational runbooks.
• Operate in an international environment with a focus on collaboration, knowledge sharing, and long-term service sustainability.
