Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join an enterprise cloud infrastructure team supporting both Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure environments. This role is ideal for a well‑rounded cloud engineer who enjoys being hands‑on with infrastructure, security, cloud modernization, and emerging technologies. The team is continuing to migrate workloads from on‑prem VMware environments into the cloud, introduce new cloud services, strengthen its security posture, and explore newer technologies, including AI. GCP is the biggest priority for this hire, but candidates must also have strong Azure experience.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design, implement, configure, support, and optimize enterprise infrastructure across GCP and Azure
• Support ongoing on-prem/VMware-to-cloud migration initiatives
• Maintain highly available, reliable, and secure cloud environments supporting mission‑critical systems
• Help introduce and implement new cloud services and technologies across the organization
• Monitor cloud environments for security vulnerabilities, risks, and configuration issues
• Use cloud security tooling to analyze environments and assist with vulnerability and risk remediation
• Support infrastructure containing sensitive PII and PHI data
• Utilize Terraform to support cloud infrastructure and automation efforts
• Support the underlying cloud infrastructure for security analytics, data analytics, and other enterprise services
• Partner with dedicated security, networking, identity, interface, and data/analytics teams
• Troubleshoot infrastructure, connectivity, performance, security, and configuration issues across cloud environments
• Evaluate new cloud technologies and make recommendations around architecture, security, performance, and scalability
• Assist with cloud governance, standards, documentation, and best practices
• Help optimize cloud performance, utilization, reliability, and cost
• Gain exposure to emerging technology initiatives, including the organization's exploration and adoption of AI capabilities

Skills and Requirements

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of hands‑on cloud infrastructure experience
• Strong hands‑on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience
• Strong hands‑on Microsoft Azure experience
• Experience designing, implementing, supporting, and troubleshooting cloud infrastructure
• Strong understanding of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments
• Experience with cloud security, vulnerability identification, and remediation
• Experience supporting enterprise and/or mission‑critical infrastructure
• Understanding of cloud networking fundamentals and dependencies
• Ability to work effectively across specialized networking, security, identity, and application teams
• Approximately 10 years of overall related IT experience
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Plusses

• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code experience
• GCP certifications
• Azure certifications
• Experience with Wiz or similar cloud security platforms
• VMware-to-cloud migration experience
• Stronger cloud networking background
• Experience supporting environments containing PHI and/or PII
• Experience within healthcare or another regulated industry
• Experience supporting infrastructure for analytics/data platforms
• Exposure to AI‑related infrastructure or emerging cloud technologies

What Makes This Role Interesting

• Opportunity to bring GCP expertise to a team actively expanding its capabilities in that environment
• Work across both GCP and Azure rather than being siloed into a single cloud platform
• Direct involvement in cloud modernization and on‑prem-to-cloud migration
• Exposure to cloud security, analytics infrastructure, automation, and emerging technologies
• Collaborative environment with dedicated specialists across networking, security, identity, and data
• Opportunity to help evaluate and implement new cloud services and AI‑related technologies
• Long‑term growth potential into cloud architecture
• 20 days of PTO
• 401(k) with 5% company match
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Tuition assistance up to $5,000 annually

Main change: I positioned this as a hands‑on GCP + Azure cloud infrastructure/security role rather than copying the broader corporate JD. I also removed AWS as a requirement, elevated GCP, Terraform, security, and VMware‑to‑cloud work, and made the day‑to‑day tangible enough for candidates to quickly determine whether they're a fit.
