DevOps Engineer (On-Site & Cloud)

Blue Silo builds and runs mission-critical systems for defence, government and industrial clients in Singapore. Our systems run on client premises, often in secure, air-gapped sites, as well as in the cloud. When something breaks, our clients need someone who can walk in, find the fault and fix it.

You are our engineer on the ground. You install, run and fix the servers, networks, cameras and RFID readers our software runs on, at client sites across Singapore, and you keep our cloud environments healthy too. Most of your time is on site and in the lab, hands-on with real equipment, with our development team behind you for anything deep in the code.

If you are a system engineer, infrastructure engineer or field service engineer who enjoys hardware and wants to grow into DevOps and cloud, this role is for you. You will pick up the cloud side on the job.
