Cloud Engineer
About Us
Catalyst Cloud is New Zealand owned, New Zealand operated, and genuinely proud of it. We build cloud infrastructure on open source technology, which means our customers own their data, their decisions, and their future. We're part of the Catalyst IT group, and we live by values that actually mean something: openness, freedom, collaboration, and respect.
Data sovereignty isn't a buzzword for us. It's the whole point.
About the role
We're looking for a junior DevOps or Software Engineer to join a team that keeps Catalyst Cloud running, improving, and growing. You won't be thrown in the deep end alone. Senior engineers will mentor you as you build real skills on real infrastructure, including:
- Deploying, testing, and upgrading OpenStack services using Ansible and GitLab CI/CD pipelines
- Writing Python to extend and improve OpenStack services
- Deploying into Kubernetes clusters
- Troubleshooting live operational issues
Our team is spread across Aotearoa. Work from home, from one of our offices, or a mix of both. We'll find an arrangement that works for you and your whānau.
About you
You don't need to tick every box. We're looking for curiosity and enthusiasm more than a perfect CV.
If you're interested in any of the following, we want to hear from you:
- DevOps or site reliability
- Kubernetes or container technology
- Python or open source development
- Cloud computing or Linux
- How the internet actually works behind the scenes
Maybe you're a recent graduate, a bootcamp alumnus, self-taught, or returning to the workforce after time away. Whatever your path, if you're keen to learn and grow with a supportive team, you belong here.
Why Catalyst Cloud?
- Real impact – you'll be supporting New Zealand's digital independence, not just someone else's bottom line
- Open source values – we contribute back to the global OpenStack community, so your work has reach beyond our shores
- Genuine flexibility – offices in multiple cities
- Room to grow – structured mentorship, skill development, and clear pathways to move around the business if your interests evolve
- A team that gives a damn – about the work, about each other, and about doing things the right way
Diversity and Inclusion
We believe the best teams are built from people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences. We're committed to a hiring process that's fair, transparent, and genuinely welcoming, whoever you are and whatever path brought you to this point.
