Cloud Native Application Architect

About this opportunity

Ericsson Orchestrator Lifecycle Manager (EO LM) is the latest solution in EO's line-up, specifically streamlined for Kubernetes and the GitOps approach to orchestrating cloud native network solutions in the Telecoms world. It is designed around the O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) architecture realizing the NFO and FOCOM functionality.

EO LM's purpose is to provide an orchestration solution which manages CNF (Container Network Function) based networks deployed into Kubernetes and lifecycle managed by GitOps solutions. The ‘single source of truth’ for the deployed network is the Git repository and the lifecycle management is automatically handled by a dedicated microservice without any manual intervention from the user. The Application Architect’s role is to supplement the existing EO LM Application Architect and the Design Leads in our LMI Teams whose prime focus is on the NFO and Product Deployment aspects of EO LM. This is a ‘hands-on’ role with an expectation that you can deliver product/code when required as well as define the architecture that guides it.

We are seeking a highly motivated, collaborative and experienced Cloud Native Software Application Architect to join our team.

This is a hybrid position based at our Ireland Athlone Office. More information about Ericsson Athlone: VIDEO: Ericsson Athlone Careers: Join us at Ericsson Ireland
