Cloud Infrastructure Engineer Role

Peregrine Advisors LLC; Washington (District of Columbia); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Peregrine Advisors LLC is seeking Cloud Infrastructure Engineers to design and operate the shared technical foundation on which applications run. You will manage networking, compute, storage, identity, and recovery capabilities in a cohesive environment rather than isolated configurations.

You will build versioned cloud environments, landing zones, guardrails, and resilience features such as backup, recovery, failover, and capacity planning.

Qualifications

• Experience designing or operating AWS cloud services.
• Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Knowledge of IAM, secrets handling, and network segmentation.
• Experience with observability, capacity planning, backup, recovery, and incident response.
• Ability to evaluate cloud configurations against mission, resilience, cost, and security requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate versioned cloud environments for networks, compute, storage, identity, and connectivity.
• Build landing-zone patterns, account structures, and guardrails for teams using shared cloud services.
• Implement resilience capabilities including backup, recovery, failover, and capacity management.
• Establish monitoring, alerting, and cloud security posture management for infrastructure health and configuration.
• Create reusable platform services that provide application teams a consistent path to deploy and operate.

Job description

The work

Cloud Infrastructure Engineers build and operate the shared technical foundation on which applications run. Their scope includes networking, compute, storage, identity, secrets, connectivity, and recovery capabilities, designed as a coherent environment rather than a collection of service configurations.

What You'll Build

• Versioned cloud environments for networks, compute, storage, identity, and connectivity.
• Landing-zone patterns, account structures, and guardrails for teams using shared cloud services.
• Resilience capabilities including backup, recovery, failover, and capacity management.
• Monitoring, alerting, and cloud security posture management for infrastructure health and configuration.
• Reusable platform services that give application teams a consistent path to deploy and operate.

Who You Are

You think in systems and operating conditions. A network rule, identity policy, storage setting, or recovery process is not a one-time configuration to you; it is a component whose behavior must remain understandable as the environment changes.

You prefer documented automation to hand-built environments. You can work with application, security, and operations colleagues, yet keep clear ownership of the foundation that those teams rely on.

What You Bring

• Experience designing or operating Amazon Web Services or comparable cloud networking, compute, storage, and identity services.
• Infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management practice with Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or comparable tools.
• Knowledge of identity and access management, secrets handling, and network segmentation.
• Experience with observability, capacity planning, backup, recovery, and incident response.
• Ability to evaluate cloud configurations against mission, resilience, cost, and security requirements.

Requirements

Openings may specify a cloud provider, hybrid environment, container platform, or network architecture. They may also seek experience with cloud security posture management, a continuous practice of identifying, prioritizing, and addressing cloud configuration and vulnerability issues.

Some environments may require evidence of resilience engineering, recovery testing, shared-service design, or authorization support. The role should not absorb ownership of each application release pipeline, even when infrastructure engineers collaborate closely with DevSecOps teams.

Benefits

Compensation, benefits, work location, and employment terms are set for each specific opening and will be stated with that opening.
