Cloud Platform Infrastructure Engineer

Northwood; Torrance (CA); Presencial; USD 150.000 - 210.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Northwood Space is seeking an Infrastructure Engineer – Cloud to own and operate the cloud infrastructure that supports our global network of phased array ground stations and mission-critical services.

You will work with Platform software engineers to implement cloud-native solutions, manage CI/CD and GitOps, and maintain security, observability, and reliability across multi-account environments.

Formación

• 2–5 years of production infrastructure experience (SRE, DevOps, platform, cloud, or systems engineering).
• Depth in cloud: multi-account organizations, IAM, VPC networking, EKS or equivalent managed Kubernetes.
• Strong IaC experience: state management, CI-driven plan and apply, working in a shared monorepo with other engineers.
• Working competence across Linux, networking fundamentals, containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a production system: design, implementation, operation.
• On-call experience in a production environment with measurable reliability outcomes.
• Comfortable in code (Python, Go, or similar) for automation, tooling, and integration work.
• Strong technical writing: design docs, runbooks, post-mortems.

Responsabilidades

• Own and operate all components of the cloud infrastructure stack: cloud accounts, hosted k8s clusters, CA, secrets, IAM, the observability pipeline.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code. Define and implement GitOps practices and proper CI gates to test, audit, and approve infrastructure changes.
• Implement cloud-side networking: VPCs, transit route tables, VPNs and Direct Connect attachments, egress and ingress inspection.
• Carry on-call for the cloud stack. Resolve the majority of incidents independently and run post-incident reviews for the ones you own.
• Partner with security engineering and compliance on controls implementation in your areas: policies, IAM boundaries, logging coverage, evidence collection, CVE mitigation.
• Treat toil as a design signal. When manual work repeats, automate it or fix the underlying system.
• Write and maintain runbooks, design docs, and component documentation. Keep them current with the system.
• Collaborate across infrastructure, platform software, security, and ground station operations on cross-cutting work.
