Job Description

We are seeking a Cloud Engineer to design, automate, and support scalable AWS cloud infrastructure in a highly collaborative engineering environment. This role is focused on AWS operations, infrastructure architecture, and infrastructure-as-code automation rather than traditional deployment or pipeline troubleshooting.

The ideal candidate brings strong AWS operational expertise, hands-on Terraform experience, and a solid understanding of cloud security, governance, and cost optimization principles.

• Automate cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, primarily Terraform.
• Maintain and modify Terraform modules, including customization of open-source modules.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts using Python and shell/bash scripting.
• Monitor and optimize cloud infrastructure performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Implement and maintain cloud security controls, IAM policies, encryption standards, and governance guardrails.
• Support backup, recovery, and disaster recovery strategies for cloud-hosted systems.
• Collaborate with DevOps and software engineering teams to support cloud-native applications, microservices, and serverless architectures.
• Design and deploy scalable AWS-based infrastructure supporting enterprise applications and services.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure, networking, and cloud operations issues within AWS environments.
• Create technical documentation, operational runbooks, and knowledge-sharing materials.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to cloud engineering best practices.
• Participate in an on-call rotation supporting production cloud infrastructure.

• 5+ years of hands-on AWS cloud engineering and cloud infrastructure experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, including creating/updating and modifying Terraform modules.
• Experience automating AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
• Strong scripting experience with Python and shell/bash.
• Strong understanding of AWS architecture, cloud operations, and infrastructure management.
• Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, governance guardrails, and FinOps/cost management concepts.
• Understanding of networking, security best practices, and cloud infrastructure design principles.
• AWS SysOps Administrator and/or Solutions Architect certification.

• Experience creating custom Terraform modules.
• Experience with additional cloud platforms such as Azure or GCP.
• Prior Linux systems administration experience.
• Experience with CloudFormation or Ansible.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git/GitOps workflows, and IDEs such as Visual Studio Code.
• Experience with GoLang.
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST, or GDPR.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading small-to-medium technical initiatives.
