Cloud Integration Engineer - North Ryde, NSW, Australia

Grow with us

What you will do

System Integration and Implementation

• Plan and execute end-to-end integration of Ericsson SDI, CEE, CCD and CNIS solutions according to approved solution designs and implementation plans.
• Install, configure and validate compute, storage, networking, security and management components across cloud infrastructure PODs and sites.
• Implement high-level and low-level design artefacts (HLD, LLD, configuration templates, Method of Procedure (MoP)) into working, tested environments.
• Integrate VNFs and CNFs (for example 5G Core, IMS, Packet Core, Cloud RAN) on Ericsson cloud infrastructure, ensuring correct onboarding, lifecycle management and performance.
• Conduct functional, non-functional and integration testing, capturing and resolving defects and deviations in collaboration with design and product teams.

Delivery, Governance and Quality

• Act as the primary technical integrator in delivery projects, ensuring on-time, high-quality execution of build, integration, migration and acceptance activities.
• Prepare and maintain integration plans, MoPs, rollback procedures and configuration baselines in line with agreed architecture and customer standards.
• Support troubleshooting and complex problem resolution during build, test, acceptance and early operation phases to meet performance, stability and SLA expectations.
• Provide accurate and timely progress reporting, risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies to project managers and technical leads.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of reusable integration patterns, scripts, templates and deployment accelerators for CNIS and NFVI projects.

Standards, Compliance and Security

• Implement solutions in compliance with Ericsson security guidelines, CNIS Security Overview and customer-specific security and regulatory requirements.
• Apply best practices for high availability, disaster recovery, backup and restore, and data protection in line with solution design and customer policies.
• Promote and adopt automation, infrastructure-as-code and standardized O&M models for deployment and lifecycle management (for example using Ansible, Helm, CI/CD pipelines).
• Ensure delivered configurations, documentation and handover materials are complete, accurate and align with Ericsson and customer audit requirements.

Collaboration, Knowledge Sharing and Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with Solution Architects to refine designs based on integration feedback, constraints and findings from lab and field deployments.
• Act as a subject matter expert in cloud integration topics for Ericsson SDI, CEE, CCD and CNIS, supporting and mentoring other integration engineers in the team.
• Provide structured field feedback to product units and portfolio teams on product behaviour, defects and feature gaps, contributing to roadmap evolution.
• Contribute to communities of practice, reference integration guides, best-practice documentation and internal knowledge sharing sessions.

The Skills You Bring

Required Experience and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of experience in telecom, IT or cloud infrastructure, with at least 4+ years in hands-on system integration, deployment or implementation roles.
• Proven experience integrating and delivering large-scale telco cloud or NFVI/CNIS-based solutions in operator environments (preferably multi-vendor).
• Hands-on experience with Ericsson SDI, CCD, CEE and CNIS, or strong experience with equivalent telco cloud stacks with readiness to ramp up quickly.
• Experience working in project-based delivery environments, including interaction with customers, partners and cross-functional internal teams.

Technical Skills

• The Cloud System Integrator is expected to have solid, practical knowledge in the following areas:
  • Ericsson Telco Cloud Portfolio
    • Good understanding of Ericsson Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) concepts (PODs, vPODs, data/control fabrics, computer systems) and their deployment considerations.
    • Working knowledge of Ericsson Cloud Container Distribution (CCD) and Kubernetes-based CNF hosting, including cluster configuration and integration with CNIS.
    • Experience with Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment (CEE) for VNF hosting, including onboarding, scaling and troubleshooting.
    • Familiarity with Ericsson CNIS solution architecture, documentation set and operational model.
  • Networking and Security
    • Solid grasp of IP networking, routing, VLANs, load balancing, VPNs, security zones and data centre network design in cloud/NFVI contexts.
    • Experience configuring and troubleshooting firewalls, security groups, certificates and secure connectivity between network functions and management domains.
  • Storage and Platform Technologies
    • Experience with storage concepts and solutions relevant to CNIS (for example Ceph, NetApp, VxSDS or equivalent), including performance and resilience tuning.
    • Good understanding of Linux, virtualization (for example KVM, VMware) and container technologies (for example Docker, Kubernetes) and their operational tooling.
  • Orchestration, Automation and Tooling
    • Familiarity with orchestration and lifecycle management tools such as Ericsson Orchestrator (EO), EVNFM or equivalent NFV MANO/orchestrators.
    • Working knowledge of automation and IaC concepts and tools (for example Ansible, Helm, Terraform, CI/CD) is highly desirable.
    • Experience with monitoring, observability and logging tools commonly used in telco cloud environments.

Behavioral Competencies

• Structured, analytical and outcome-oriented, with strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills in complex, multi-vendor environments.
