Summary

Description:
We're seeking a Cloud Engineer to join a Distributed Database Platform team within the financial services industry. This team is composed of highly experienced engineers, and we're intentionally looking for someone with solid, hands-on experience (6+ years) who can bring fresh energy and balance to a very senior group.

You'll work on cloud-native, non-relational database platforms that support highly available, resilient systems. The environment emphasizes automation, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and collaborative problem-solving. This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys modern cloud engineering without needing to be the most senior voice in the room.

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.

Rate: $65 - $ / hr. w2

Responsibilities:

Deploy, scale, and operate NoSQL / non-relational databases in public cloud environments
Build and maintain automation and CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub, and artifact repositories
Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code using tools like Terraform, OpenTofu, ARM templates, or CloudFormation
Automate administrative and operational tasks using Python and scripting (shell, Groovy, or similar)
Configure monitoring, alerting, and observability to support highly available platforms
Triage and resolve production issues, participating in root cause analysis and outage resolution
Collaborate closely with platform, application, and infrastructure teams in an open, transparent engineering culture

Experience Requirements:

6+ years of professional experience in cloud engineering, platform engineering, or infrastructure automation
Background supporting production systems in cloud environments

Must-Have Skill

Hands-on experience using Markdown languages (Markdown, CommonMark, GitHub-Flavored Markdown) within VS Code or modern IDEs to support automation, configuration artifacts, and streamlined developer workflows

Top Technical Skills

Experience working with NoSQL databases
Jenkins-based automation
Python scripting
CloudFormation or equivalent IaC tooling
Strong Linux/Unix fundamentals
Public cloud experience (AWS and/or Azure)

Bonus / Nice-to-Have Skills

Public cloud certifications (AWS or Azure)
Experience deploying or supporting Kubernetes in the cloud
Exposure to AI agents or workflow orchestration integrated with cloud-native services

Education Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
