Automation Engineer Infrastructure as Code Data Services

We are looking for an experienced Automation Engineer to support and modernize our cloud data services platform.

  • Develop automation for:
    • Data store provisioning
    • Backups and lifecycle management
    • Standardized configurations and operational workflows
  • Contribute to the migration from Terraform/Ansible-based automation to a Crossplane-based model
  • Write and maintain automation code using Python and IaC tooling
  • Collaborate closely with the team lead and data services engineers on day-to-day implementation
  • Ensure automation is reliable, reusable, and aligned with cloud best practices

Requirements and Qualifications

  • Strong experience as an AWS Cloud Engineer, Automation Engineer, or Infrastructure Engineer
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as:
    • Terraform
    • CloudFormation
    • Similar IaC frameworks
  • Proficiency in Python for automation and scripting
  • Practical experience working with AWS managed data services, such as:
    • Aurora
    • DynamoDB
    • Cassandra
    • Other AWS-managed databases
  • Ability to translate data service requirements into automated, repeatable infrastructure solutions

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with Crossplane or interest in adopting it
  • Kubernetes / EKS experience
  • Background automating database provisioning, backups, and operations at scale
  • Experience working in a DevOps or platform-oriented engineering environment
