Bright Vision Technologies is a technology consulting and software development company delivering cloud, AI, data, and enterprise solutions across the United States.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established and well-respected organization offering tremendous career growth potential.

Job Title:Infrastructure Automation Engineer

Location:100% Remote (U.S.)

Position Type:Full-time, Direct W2

Salary Range:$100,000–$180,000 Annually

Experience Required:12+ years

Sponsorship:U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply. We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.

We are seeking an Infrastructure Automation Engineer with deep Terraform expertise to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure-as-code foundations that power our cloud and hybrid environments. This role focuses on creating reusable Terraform modules, hardening pipelines, enforcing policy-as-code, and standardizing infrastructure delivery across multiple teams and cloud providers. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering discipline to infrastructure work, has shipped production-grade Terraform at scale, and understands the operational realities of managing thousands of resources across many environments and accounts.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code that codifies the entire infrastructure estate across cloud accounts and environments.
• Build a library of well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation.
• Implement Terraform automation pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, with plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement.
• Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes.
• Manage Terraform state at scale with appropriate backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns.
• Drive multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with clear isolation, naming, and tagging standards.
• Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests.
• Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails directly into reusable modules and pipelines.
• Standardize patterns for secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions.
• Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform footprints with minimal disruption.
• Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate.
• Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards.
• Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform.
• Stay current with Terraform, OpenTofu, and broader IaC ecosystem developments and recommend adoption where beneficial.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Five or more years of experience in cloud infrastructure or DevOps engineering, with significant Terraform focus.
• Deep, hands-on expertise authoring and maintaining production Terraform across at least one major cloud provider.
• Strong experience designing reusable Terraform modules with clean APIs and version discipline.
• Hands-on experience with Terraform state management, backends, and large-scale workspace organization.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code and automated policy enforcement.
• Solid understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security primitives.
• Strong Git-based workflows including code review, branching, and release management.
• Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with multi-cloud Terraform (AWS + Azure or AWS + GCP).
• Familiarity with Terragrunt, Atlantis, Spacelift, or env0.
• Experience with policy-as-code engines (Sentinel, OPA, Checkov).
• Contributions to public Terraform modules or providers.
• Exposure to FinOps practices and tagging-driven cost governance.
