Job description

Job Title: Senior IT Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior or Lead Infrastructure Software Engineer, you will design, develop, and automate scalable microservices and IT workflows in the cloud (AWS and/or GCP). In this role, you will collaborate closely with platform, IT networking, system administration, and operation support, and IT Engineering applications teams to build robust solutions, streamline operations, and continuously improve our infrastructure tooling. You’ll leverage modern programming languages, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cloud-native services to ensure our environments are highly available, secure, and cost‑optimized.

Key Responsibilities

• Microservices Development
  • Architect, implement, and maintain microservices and supporting APIs that facilitate infrastructure automation and operational workflows.
  • Collaborate with application teams to integrate, scale, and optimize cloud‑native services using container platforms, e.g. Kubernetes, EKS, ECS, GKE.
• Infrastructure Automation
  • Develop and maintain IaC solutions (Terraform, Ansible) for provisioning, configuring, and managing cloud and on‑prem resources.
  • Automate CI/CD pipelines, ensuring reliable code deployment and environment consistency.
• Cloud Platform Engineering
  • Leverage AWS and/or GCP services such as EC2, EKS, Lambda, Cloud Functions, Compute Engine, and GKE to architect secure, scalable, and cost‑effective environments.
  • Implement best practices for networking, storage, and identity such as tagging.
• Workflow Orchestration & Tooling
  • Build internal tools, scripts, and services that enhance developer productivity and streamline operations.
  • Integrate and orchestrate workflows across cloud platforms, third‑party APIs, monitoring systems, and custom automation frameworks.
• Performance, Reliability & Security
  • Implement best practices for observability (logging, monitoring, alerting) across distributed microservices and cloud infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with other DevOps teams to ensure high availability, performance tuning, and fault tolerance in production environments.
  • Adhere to security compliance requirements and industry standards, e.g. from the info‑security team, in design and development.
• Collaboration & Mentorship
  • Work closely with cross‑functional teams (IT Engineering and applications) to share knowledge, drive innovation, and maintain coding standards.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers, guiding them on best practices in cloud development and infrastructure automation.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Keep abreast of emerging technologies, tools, and industry trends in cloud, containerization, DevOps, and microservices.
  • Advocate for and implement process improvements, encouraging a culture of experimentation, learning, and rapid iteration.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in software engineering, MIS, Computer Science, or relevant work experience.
• 5+ years designing and developing software solutions in a cloud environment (AWS and/or GCP).
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying microservices (REST APIs, gRPC).
• Hands‑on automation of infrastructure using IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible).
• CI/CD pipeline design and implementation experience (Jenkins, CNCF Argo).
• Proficiency in scripting and programming languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI).
• Knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker).
• Familiarity with configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
• Strong knowledge of open‑source technologies (Apache, Tomcat, Samba, ISC BIND, DHCP, RCS, CVS, Git, OpenSSL, GNU utilities, Zabbix, Nagios).
• Strong knowledge of the concept of file systems (Ext3 or Ext4) and RAID.
• Knowledge of cloud and virtualization (AWS: EC2, EBS, S3, ELB, CloudFormation; Nutanix).
• Knowledge of data protection and security concepts.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate with distributed teams and cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Ability to mentor, lead design discussions, and handle complex problem‑solving with minimal oversight.
