Role Overview

We are looking for a proactive and self-driven Cloud Engineer to join our Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) team. In this role, you will take ownership of the design, implementation, and automation of our cloud infrastructure, with a primary focus on AWS and GCP. We need an engineer who can work independently, make technical decisions, and drive projects forward with minimal supervision. You will operate and evolve our Terraform-based platform and CI/CD pipelines, serving as a key contributor to our global infrastructure strategy.

ShyftLabs is a growing data product company that was founded in early 2020 and works primarily with Fortune 500 companies. We deliver digital solutions built to help accelerate the growth of businesses in various industries, by focusing on creating value through innovation.

Cloud Infrastructure & Ownership

• Act as a technical owner for assigned projects, resolving complex infrastructure challenges independently.
• Proactively identify performance bottlenecks and reliability risks, implementing solutions before they become incidents.
• Take full ownership of tasks from design to deployment.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation

• Design, write, and maintain high-quality Terraform code to manage infrastructure.
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins) to automate deployments and enforce guardrails.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting (Python/Bash) and serverless functions.
• Review peer code and enforce best practices for state management and modularization.

Security & Governance

• Implement and enforce IAM policies, ensuring least-privilege access across cloud environments.
• Audit cloud resources for security compliance and cost optimization.
• Drive security initiatives, such as rotation of credentials and hardening of network perimeters.

Collaboration & Reliability

• Drive post-incident reviews (RCAs) and implement long-term fixes.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation and runbooks.
• Work collaboratively with engineering teams to ensure infrastructure meets application requirements.
