• Experience with ArgoCD
• Experience working within SaaS or software product organisations
• Familiarity with Jira and Agile delivery environments

Why join this team?

This team supports a portfolio of cloud-hosted products that play an important role in Sage's growing cloud ecosystem. Rather than focusing on a single application, you'll collaborate across multiple products, teams and technologies, giving you broad exposure to modern cloud engineering challenges and opportunities.

You'll join a supportive global team of experienced cloud engineers who collaborate closely across multiple regions. The team places a strong emphasis on knowledge sharing, automation and sustainable operational practices, allowing engineers to focus on solving meaningful technical challenges rather than constant firefighting.

As Sage continues to invest in AI-powered experiences, platform modernisation and cloud innovation, you'll have the opportunity to help shape how new products and services are operated at scale.

Benefits? We have plenty.

• Competitive annual bonuses
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
