Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer

Bayside Solutions; Seattle (WA); Hybrid; USD 83,000 - 96,000; Full time

Job summary

Bayside Solutions, Inc. is seeking a hands-on Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer to help build and operate production-grade services in AliCloud as part of a broader public-cloud expansion.

This is more than a lift-and-shift migration and requires strong Kubernetes and cloud engineering skills. The role is Seattle-based with a hybrid work arrangement, offering a W2 contract and an hourly pay rate of $60–$70.

Qualifications

• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes in production.
• Strong hands-on cloud experience with major platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and AliCloud.
• Proficiency in Go or other general-purpose languages for backend services.
• Deep knowledge of CI/CD and automated deployment pipelines.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and telemetry across distributed systems.

Responsibilities

• Research AliCloud services and map to app, infra, networking, storage and data needs.
• Build and configure production and pre-production environments in AliCloud.
• Containerize apps and deploy on Kubernetes or equivalent managed offering.
• Modify code to parity with cloud services where needed.
• Design pragmatic year-one cloud solutions on a path to platform consistency.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment to minimize manual work.
• Evaluate managed databases and data services for workloads.
• Support data migration, backups, and integration for managed services.
• Troubleshoot across compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, app and data layers.
• Implement observability via metrics, dashboards, logs and alerts (Prometheus/Splunk).
• Prototype options, document tradeoffs, and drive implementation with limited guidance.
• Collaborate with engineering teams while owning migration research and execution.

Job description

Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer

W2 Contract

Pay Rate: $60 – $70 per hour

Location: Seattle, WA – Hybrid Role

Job Summary:

We are seeking a hands-on Platform Infrastructure / Multi-Cloud Software Engineer to help build and operate production-grade services in AliCloud as part of a broader public-cloud expansion. This is more than a lift-and-shift migration.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Research AliCloud services and map them to application, infrastructure, networking, storage, identity, and data requirements.

• Build and configure new production and pre-production environments in AliCloud.

• Containerize applications and deploy, configure, troubleshoot, and operate workloads on Kubernetes or an equivalent managed offering.

• Modify application and service code where AliCloud does not provide direct parity with existing infrastructure or managed services.

• Design pragmatic year-one cloud solutions that get critical services running well, while preserving a path toward greater platform consistency as the environment matures.

• Automate infrastructure provisioning and application deployment. Manual production deployment should be minimized or eliminated.

• Evaluate managed database and data-service alternatives for workloads using technologies such as MongoDB, Cassandra, CockroachDB, or PostgreSQL-compatible systems.

• Support data migration, backup and restore, configuration, and operational integration for managed data services.

• Troubleshoot across compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, application, and data layers.

• Implement and use observability through metrics, dashboards, logs, and alerts using tools such as Prometheus and Splunk or comparable platforms.

• Prototype competing technical options, document tradeoffs, recommend a direction, and drive implementation with limited day-to-day guidance.

• Collaborate with our engineering teams while independently owning the research and execution needed to move the migration forward.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Strong production Kubernetes experience, including application deployment, Pod and resource troubleshooting, service-to-service connectivity, configuration, and operational telemetry.

• Strong public-cloud experience with AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, or another major public-cloud platform.

• Ability to ramp quickly on unfamiliar cloud technologies and independently research competing managed-service options.

• Software engineering experience in Go, Java, Python, or another general-purpose language. Most team needs are expected to favor Go, with some Java-aligned work.

• Experience with cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, and storage.

• Experience with managed database or data-service offerings and the application implications of changing underlying data platforms.

• Experience with CI/CD and automated deployment or infrastructure provisioning.

• Experience in troubleshooting production distributed systems across application and infrastructure boundaries.

• Understanding of monitoring, logging, alerting, capacity, reliability, and production-readiness practices.

• Strong self-starter behavior, technical research skills, written communication, and ability to operate effectively through ambiguity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct AliCloud experience.

• Cloud-to-cloud migration, data-center-to-cloud migration, or experience standing up a new cloud environment from scratch.

• Experience modifying applications to accommodate differences between cloud-native managed services.

• Go development experience for backend and platform services.

• Java development experience for cloud service work.

• Experience with Prometheus, Splunk, Grafana, or similar observability tooling.

• Experience with identity and access management, secrets, or authorization platforms.

• Experience building deployment automation when an existing internal platform does not directly support the target cloud.

• Experience in environments where platform engineers are expected to write and maintain production software.
