Cloud Engineer
From Jetstreams to Data Streams: Soaring High with Cloud Engineering
Hello Oliver, nice to meet you! Could you introduce yourself?
I'm Oliver, a Cloud Engineer from RAiD.
Could you tell us how you ended up diving into the world of Cloud Engineering?
Initially, during my deployment to the Home Recovery Task Group (HRTG) operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I served as a backend developer. During the operations, I was exposed to the deployment of applications by a good mentor, Milton, who taught me almost everything about the cloud. From there, I eventually grew to love it so much, and that's how I started my journey.
How has RAiD empowered you in your journey to becoming a Cloud Engineer?
RAiD provides ample opportunities and funding to allow engineers with zero experience in the cloud field gain exposure. Most importantly, it encourages you to engage in research and development (R&D) and experiment with new technologies in the field.
What would you say to someone hesitating to apply to RAiD?
Don't hesitate to apply!
Could you share a couple of tips for getting hired at RAiD?
Give it your all during the technical interview. Even if you have no prior experience, we're seeking individuals with the right attitude, a strong desire to learn, and a curious nature.
Lastly, what's that special something about the office that makes it stand out for you?
It has lots of ducks.
