Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Cloud Engineer to maintain, evolve, and automate large‑scale, multi‑cloud infrastructure across distributed environments.

You will ensure secure, highly available, and compliant operations while contributing to modernization and migration initiatives across cloud and on‑premises systems.

This position focuses on multi‑cloud engineering and welcomes candidates with direct experience in HashiCorp Vault Enterprise or equivalent expertise with secrets and key management systems such as Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Kubernetes‑native frameworks.

The ideal candidate combines strong infrastructure‑as‑code skills with deep understanding of automation, scalability, and secure system design.

• Oversee replication, auto‑unseal integrations (KMS/HSM), TLS, and PKI management.
• Manage upgrades, patching, scaling, and high availability for all production and non‑production environments.

Tenant & Namespace Management

• Design and manage namespaces, ACLs, and policy‑based access control for client isolation.
• Provide technical onboarding support for internal teams and external clients.
• Automate lifecycle management and rotation of secrets.

Automation & Infrastructure‑as‑Code

• Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
• Integrate secrets management and configuration tasks into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Build reusable automation templates to accelerate deployments and ensure consistency.

Observability & Security

• Configure monitoring and alerting systems (Prometheus, Grafana) to ensure visibility and compliance.
• Integrate logs and audit data into centralized monitoring solutions (ELK, Splunk, DataDog, etc.).
• Collaborate with security teams on RBAC, authentication backends (OIDC, LDAP, AppRole), and compliance controls.

Migration & Modernization

• Support modernization initiatives such as migrating cloud‑based deployments to Kubernetes or Rancher environments.
• Contribute to containerization, Helm‑based deployments, and infrastructure optimization projects.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Cloud, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Proven operational experience with HashiCorp Vault (Enterprise or OSS).
• Deep knowledge of Infrastructure‑as‑code and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Helm).
• Understanding of TLS, PKI, authentication mechanisms, and secure service communication.
• Hands‑on experience managing multi‑region, multi‑environment deployments.
• Proficiency in integrating secrets management and configuration into CI/CD workflows.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Azure, AWS, or GCP in multi‑cloud setups.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and Rancher ecosystems.
• Knowledge of policy‑as‑code frameworks (Sentinel, OPA).
• Experience with Vault Enterprise replication (Performance + DR).
• Exposure to SOC2, ISO27001, or NIST‑aligned compliance frameworks.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Go, or Bash.

Soft Skills & Collaboration

• Excellent documentation and communication abilities.
• Proven track record collaborating across diverse, cross‑functional teams.
• Proactive approach to troubleshooting and problem solving in distributed systems.
• Strong balance between operational excellence, scalability, and modernization.
