Summary

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.

Responsibilities

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.

Must-Haves

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.

Nice-to-Haves

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.6
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST, or GDPR.
Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading small-to-medium technical initiatives.
