Job Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior

Terraform Engineer/Architect

 with deep expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, build, and operate secure, scalable cloud platforms.

This role focuses on delivering enterprise-grade cloud foundations, landing zones, and migration architectures using Terraform-driven automation. The ideal candidate is a Terraform Subject Matter Expert who has led IaC initiatives in complex, regulated, or large-scale cloud environments.

Azure experience is preferred, though strong AWS experience is also acceptable. Government cloud exposure is a plus but not mandatory for highly qualified Terraform professionals.


Key Responsibilities

  • Act as the Terraform Subject Matter Expert, designing and developing reusable, versioned Terraform modules.

  • Architect and implement cloud landing zones / foundation frameworks using Terraform.

  • Automate infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Manage Terraform state, workspaces, backends, and promotion strategies across environments.

  • Design and deploy secure cloud architectures covering networking, identity, security, logging, and monitoring.

  • Support application migrations by delivering scalable, compliant infrastructure via IaC.

  • Define and enforce IaC standards, guardrails, and best practices in collaboration with DevOps, security, and platform teams.

  • Optimize cloud environments for cost, performance, availability, and reliability.

  • Produce and maintain architecture diagrams, Terraform documentation, and operational runbooks.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure and automation issues.


Required Qualifications

  • Expert-level hands-on experience with Terraform, including:

    • Module design and reuse

    • State management and backends

    • CI/CD integration

    • Git-based workflows

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, DevOps, or infrastructure automation roles.

  • Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and cloud lifecycle management.

  • Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform:

    • Azure (preferred) or AWS

  • Solid knowledge of:

    • Cloud networking (VNET/VPC, routing, segmentation)

    • Identity and access management (RBAC/IAM)

    • Security controls, policies, and monitoring

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
