Summary

As a Cloud Engineer, you will design, build, and operate secure, scalable, and cloud-native solutions on public cloud platforms (AWS and/or GCP). You will collaborate with application teams, architects, and DevOps practitioners to drive modern cloud adoption using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation-first principles. This role is ideal for professionals who excel in complex, fast-paced environments and can translate business and technical requirements into resilient cloud platforms.

What will your typical day look like?

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud-native infrastructure solutions using Terraform and cloud-provider native services (AWS/GCP).
• Collaborate with application and platform teams to provision environments, enable CI/CD pipelines, and embed reliability, security, and observability.
• Contribute to reusable IaC modules, enforce cloud standards, and support multi-environment deployments.
• Optimize cloud infrastructure for performance, cost, and scalability, supporting containerized and microservices architectures.
• Participate in troubleshooting cloud and pipeline issues, supporting incident resolution, and improving automation, monitoring, and deployment strategies.
• Mentor junior team members and influence cloud architecture and DevOps practices (for mid-level/senior contributors).

• Experience with cloud-native and DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, automated provisioning, operational readiness. Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/GKE) experience is strongly preferred.
