• Support environment lifecycle management, including development, staging, and production environments.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure deployment issues and optimize Terraform configurations for reliability and maintainability.
• Maintain documentation, standards, and patterns to promote consistent infrastructure practices across teams.
• Stay current with Terraform features, provider updates, and cloud architecture best practices.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on Terraform experience designing and managing production infrastructure.
• Strong experience with at least one major cloud provider: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Solid understanding of cloud networking, security groups/firewalls, IAM, storage, and compute services.
• Experience integrating Terraform with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar.
• Proficiency with Git-based version control and collaborative development workflows.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to analyze infrastructure failures across environments.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively across engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
• Familiarity with configuration management or automation tools (e.g., Ansible).
• Exposure to container platforms such as Kubernetes or OpenShift.
• Experience operating in regulated or security-sensitive environments.
• Terraform certifications (Associate or higher) are a plus.

What You'll Gain

• Ownership of scalable, modern infrastructure using industry-standard IaC practices.
• Exposure to complex cloud architectures and enterprise-grade automation.
• Opportunities to influence infrastructure standards and platform strategy.
• A collaborative environment focused on automation, reliability, and continuous improvement.
