Cloud Platform Engineer Job at EVS in Liège

EVS is recruiting an Infrastructure / Cloud Platform Engineer for its Corporate Operations organisation in Liège, in Liège Province, Belgium. The full-time, hybrid post is suited to an infrastructure professional who can work across on-premises systems and Microsoft Azure, with practical experience of automation and platform operations. Strong French and professional English are central to the working context described for the role.

Based within EVS's IT Infrastructure / Core IT Infrastructure team, this position combines operational ownership with engineering improvement. It will suit someone comfortable investigating complex platform issues, applying structured technical judgement and contributing to reliable hybrid services. The vacancy brings together Azure infrastructure, Windows and Linux administration, infrastructure as code, security work, recovery planning and the documentation that supports shared technical knowledge.

Opportunity Details

Overview of the Vacancy

Location, Sector, and Role Context

The Infrastructure / Cloud Platform Engineer is being hired within Corporate Operations for the IT Infrastructure / Core IT Infrastructure team in Liège. Its stated purpose is to support the reliability and development of a hybrid estate that combines on-premises infrastructure with Microsoft Azure. Day-to-day work spans platform monitoring, availability and performance, along with incident, problem and change processes. The engineer also provides advanced support, identifies underlying causes of technical issues and implements sustainable corrections. This is therefore a role for a practitioner able to move between operational detail, planned infrastructure work and ongoing platform improvement.

Azure is a substantial part of the remit: the role designs, deploys and runs IaaS and PaaS infrastructure while contributing to standardisation, scalability, architecture discussions and technical roadmaps. Terraform, Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD practices, PowerShell and scripting are used to make operational work more consistent and automated. Security, patching, hardening, vulnerability remediation and ISO 27001 controls form part of the work, as do backup, disaster recovery, business continuity and recovery testing. A suitable background combines strong Azure and hybrid-infrastructure knowledge with hands-on Windows, Linux, automation and infrastructure-as-code experience.

About the Employer: EVS (EVS Broadcast Equipment)

Organization and Relevant Services

Verified Employer Overview

EVS (EVS Broadcast Equipment) provides live-video technology for broadcast and new-media productions. Its solutions cover stages of the production process and are used in live sports, entertainment and breaking-news content. The company was founded in Liège, Belgium, in 1994 by Pierre L’Hoest and Laurent Minguet. Its early tapeless-television work produced the Live Slow-Motion system, which became a widely used standard for sports replay. The Infrastructure / Cloud Platform Engineer vacancy is located in the city where EVS was founded and where it maintains its headquarters.

The company offers several technology lines relevant to media-production workflows. MediaHub is described as a cloud SaaS content-exchange solution for distributed production workflows. LiveCeption provides production tools, while MediaCeption covers content-management solutions designed for rapid content turnaround. EVS also lists MediaInfra solutions for broadcast control, monitoring, conversion and real-time processing across SDI, IP and hybrid infrastructures. These offerings place EVS in a technical setting concerned with live video, production systems, content movement and infrastructure across different technology environments.

Professional Setting and Role Context

Work Environment, Operations, and Facilities

Although headquartered in Liège, EVS reports offices across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The company states that it has more than 800 team members and supports customers in more than 100 countries. Its careers information also cites more than 20 offices on five continents, 34 nationalities and a workforce in which 41% are R&D engineers. For this Liège-based role, professional English is identified as the working language used across EVS worldwide, alongside French as the working language of the IT team.

EVS Group describes its purpose as helping customers craft compelling stories with a high return on emotion. The company identifies customer success, teamwork, accountability, passion, ambition, innovation and agility among its stated values. Within that wider organisation, the advertised position belongs to Corporate Operations rather than a product line, in the IT Infrastructure / Core IT Infrastructure team. The vacancy focuses on hybrid platform reliability and evolution, including operations, engineering, automation, security and longer-term technical improvement. That departmental context distinguishes the post from the company’s production and content-management technology offerings.

• Preferred: Experience acting as a technical reference on complex subjects, together with an analytical, structured, independent, collaborative, curious, proactive and solution-oriented approach, is beneficial.

Skills and Competencies

Application Guidance

Prepare a Focused Application

CV, Evidence, Documents, and Interview Preparation

As general preparation guidance, applicants for a hybrid-infrastructure position can organise examples that show how they diagnosed a service issue, found its root cause and delivered a durable solution. It can be useful to describe relevant Azure IaaS or PaaS deployments, Terraform configuration work and automated operations using PowerShell or similar scripting approaches. Examples of Windows and Linux administration, CI/CD collaboration or change handling can help structure a technical discussion. This is general preparation advice rather than an additional requirement set by EVS.

For an interview discussion, candidates may wish to prepare concise technical explanations of availability, performance, capacity, backup and disaster-recovery decisions made in prior infrastructure work. General preparation can also include examples of applying security baselines, patching or hardening, addressing a vulnerability, or supporting an audit-related control. Since the vacancy names French as the IT team's working language and English for the worldwide environment, it may be sensible to be ready to discuss technical work in both languages. This guidance does not add to the published selection criteria.

• Prepare a CV that maps hybrid on-premises and Azure experience to the platform responsibilities described for this role.
• Select an example of a complex incident that shows root-cause analysis, advanced support and a durable correction.
• Outline Terraform, Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD and PowerShell work with enough technical detail to explain the contribution made.
• Prepare an example involving security baselines, patching, hardening, vulnerability remediation or an ISO 27001 control.
• Review examples of backup, disaster recovery, business continuity, recovery testing, performance or capacity planning.
• Be ready to explain technical experience in fluent French and professional English, reflecting the languages named for the role.
