Job description

Sr. Cloud Engineer Req ID: 376474

Position Summary: We are seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to architect, design, build, and operate a secure, scalable, and highly automated multi‑cloud platform leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure. As a key technical leader, you will drive the evolution of our multi‑cloud engineering, enabling resilient, cloud‑native services that support mission‑critical enterprise workloads. This role requires deep expertise in cloud architecture, infrastructure as code (IaC), and distributed systems engineering, with a strong focus on Terraform‑driven automation and platform standardization. The ideal candidate brings strong Kubernetes, IAM, networking, and policy management experience, along with a disciplined approach to security, reliability, and cost optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, engineer, and implement scalable, secure, and resilient cloud solutions across GCP and AWS, with Azure as a plus.
• Engineer multi‑region, highly available architectures aligned with enterprise standards and best practices.
• Lead engineering adoption and development of Terraform‑based infrastructure as code, ensuring consistency, compliance, and reusability.
• Build and maintain modular Terraform frameworks for provisioning cloud infrastructure.
• Integrate IaC into CI/CD pipelines to enable fully automated provisioning and deployment workflows.
• Directly engineer leveraging Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) and associated ecosystems; implement container orchestration best practices including scaling, observability, and security.
• Design robust IAM strategies across GCP and AWS, including least‑privilege access models, and implement policy frameworks for access control, resource governance, and regulatory compliance.
• Architect, design, and engineer cloud networking solutions including VPC/VNet design, routing, peering, VPNs, and private connectivity; ensure secure, high‑performance connectivity between cloud environments and on‑premises systems.
• Deploy policy‑as‑code frameworks to ensure consistent governance of resources, tagging strategies, and compliance controls; collaborate with governance, policy, and security teams to meet enterprise and regulatory standards.
• Champion cloud‑native and platform engineering best practices across the organization; drive evolution of platform engineering practice by incorporating IaC principles.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership for complex cloud initiatives; serve as an escalation point for critical cloud infrastructure and platform issues.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Extensive firsthand experience with AWS and GCP in large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Strong expertise in cloud architecture, including high availability, disaster recovery, and multi‑region design.
• Deep understanding of cloud‑native services and distributed systems principles.
• Advanced proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management; experience designing reusable modules and managing Terraform state at scale; familiarity with CI/CD tooling and Git‑based workflows.
• Strong experience with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) and container ecosystems; knowledge of Helm, service meshes, and container security best practices.
• Deep understanding of IAM concepts in AWS and GCP; experience implementing RBAC and least‑privilege access models at scale.
• Strong knowledge of cloud networking concepts: VPCs, subnets, routing, load balancing, DNS, and hybrid connectivity; experience designing secure network architectures across multi‑cloud and hybrid environments.
• Direct experience with policy enforcement frameworks and governance models in AWS and GCP; familiarity with policy‑as‑code tools and compliance automation practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• At least 8 to 10 years of experience engineering infrastructure in a multi‑cloud environment.
• Experience with modern cloud‑native technologies such as container orchestration platforms (e.g., Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes); public cloud experience is an advantage.
• Experience operating within highly regulated environments, with a strong grasp of data privacy, compliance frameworks, and disaster recovery architectures.
• Relevant certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Google Professional Cloud Architect, or Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD).
• Experience with platform engineering, internal developer platforms (IDP), or self‑service cloud models.
