Job description
**Cloud Support Engineer (AWS/Kubernetes/Terraform) – Full Remote Portugal**
---
**ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY**
A senior-level cloud support engineering role with real operational depth — not a helpdesk function, not a ticket-routing seat. You'll be the technical owner of cloud platform support across a multi-cloud environment, working on the infrastructure that keeps enterprise-grade SaaS and PaaS products running. If you've spent years on AWS operations, know your way around Kubernetes and Terraform in production, and thrive in an on-call, fast-response culture, this is a contract with substance and scope.
---
**PROJECT & CONTEXT**
You'll join a cloud operations team responsible for supporting, configuring, and troubleshooting cloud infrastructure across AWS (primary), GCP, Azure, and OpenStack. The environment spans containerised workloads on Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, Java application stacks (Tomcat, JBoss), and Linux-based systems — all running at enterprise scale. The role includes on-call pager duty responsibilities and requires the ability to diagnose and resolve complex, multi-layer cloud, network, and access issues with minimal escalation. Contract runs until **31 August 2027**, starting ASAP.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for HumanIT Digital Consulting. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
