Job description

Meet the Team

Cisco's Webex Engineering Group is redefining the future of collaboration. We're building a world where people connect effortlessly to enjoy modern, uncompromised collaboration across every room, desk, pocket, and application.

 

Our technology powers industry-leading products like Webex Meetings, Webex Calling, and Webex Contact Center. As a member of our team, your work will ensure every user gets a truly immersive experience regardless of device or location, empowering the hybrid working patterns of the future.

 

Our team is based in Galway. We operate a hybrid working model.

 

Your Impact

  • Full Lifecycle Development: Lead the design, codification, testing, and delivery of Kubernetes-based microservices configurations (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps) using Kubernetes, Helm. Build reusable base configs with environment overlays and enable safe promotion across dev, staging, and production.

  • DevOps & Microservices: Drive operational excellence in a GitOps model using Argo CD. Implement progressive delivery (canary releases, validation gates), codify autoscaling and resiliency, and manage secure secrets via HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes Secrets.

  • Embrace AI technology: Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, validation, and optimization of configuration-as-code, improving delivery speed and reducing deployment risk.

  • Adaptable & Problem-Solver: Address complex challenges across configuration, policy, observability, and data services. Apply a data-driven approach using Prometheus and Grafana to improve reliability and performance.

  • Ownership & Quality: Own end-to-end configuration quality, enforcing governance with Open Policy Agent. Ensure secure, compliant deployments and full reproducibility, including backup, restore, and disaster recovery.

  • Support & Growth: Advance a self-service platform using Backstage and Argo CD, enabling teams to deploy via declarative configs while promoting best practices and continuous improvement.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 3rd Level Qualification: Bachelor's or higher degree in an analytical subject (e.g. Computer Science, Electronic/Software Engineering).

  • Work experience: 7+ Years Demonstrated experience in software development.

  • Coding Aptitude: Extensive architecture and programming experience and the willingness to learn new technologies quickly.

  • Problem Solver: Ability to apply and lead a scientific approach and creative skills to complex problems.

  • Adaptable & Collaborative: Flexible, thrives in diverse team environments, and communicates clearly and precisely.

  • Quality Focus: Strong attention to detail and a commitment to continuous learning and quality results.

Preferred Qualifications:

Any of the following skills would be particularly advantageous, but we welcome applications without these:

 

·  Strong Kubernetes + microservices experience

·  Hands-on with Helm or Kustomize

·  Experience with GitOps (e.g., Argo CD)

·  Knowledge of secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)

·  Experience with observability (metrics/logs/tracing)

·  Familiarity with policy enforcement via Open Policy Agent
