Job summary

N-Power Medicine in the United States is seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to lead the cloud platform, IaC, and CI/CD foundations that underpin the Applications Engineering team's products. This hands-on role serves as the technical lead for AWS environments, pipelines, observability, and security.

You will partner with SREs and application engineers to keep production fast, safe, and well-instrumented, while maintaining strong access controls and compliance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of combined experience in Cloud / DevOps / Platform / Site Reliability Engineering, with deep production AWS experience.
• Strong proficiency with infrastructure-as-code: Terraform (required), and one or more of CloudFormation or Helm.
• Production experience with container platforms — Docker plus Kubernetes (EKS preferred) — including cluster operations, networking, and Helm chart authoring.
• Hands‑on experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions or equivalent) and artifact management tooling (Artifactory, Nexus, or equivalent).
• Working proficiency in Python and shell scripting for automation, plus comfort reading code in the languages the application team ships in.
• Experience with log aggregation and observability tooling such as Datadog or Grafana, and with defining SLIs / SLOs / SLAs.
• Solid grasp of cloud security practices: IAM, secrets management, network segmentation, audit logging, and patch / vulnerability management.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as the primary cloud / platform engineer on a small team — deeply hands‑on, well‑organized, and able to prioritize against pressure.
• Excellent communication skills; able to explain platform decisions and trade‑offs to engineers and non‑engineers alike.
• Strong sense of ownership and personal accountability; calm under pressure.
• Generous, Curious & Humble.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, evolution, and day-to-day operation of the team’s AWS environments, including networking, IAM, compute (EC2, EKS/ECS), storage, and managed services.
• Drive infrastructure-as-code practice across the team using Terraform, Helm, and configuration tooling; raise the bar on reusability, modularity, and review.
• Build and maintain the team’s CI/CD pipelines so that engineers can ship to production safely, predictably, and with appropriate gates.
• Operate and evolve the observability stack (logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, alerting) so that issues are surfaced early and root cause is fast to identify.
• Maintain the security and compliance posture of the application stack, including secrets management, access controls, and audit logging
• Partner with the Site Reliability Engineer on production reliability, on-call practices, incident response, and post-incident learning.
• Provide hands‑on technical guidance to application engineers on deployment patterns, environment management, and platform‑aware design.
• Plan and execute environment changes — provisioning, migrations, upgrades, and decommissioning — with clear rollback paths.
• Evaluate and introduce new tooling and platform capabilities deliberately, balancing innovation against the team’s small size and operational load.
• Document the platform clearly: architecture diagrams, runbooks, environment inventories, and decision records that survive turnover.
• Coordinate with Data Engineering and AI Engineering on shared platform concerns where the application stack interfaces with the broader NPM data and AI platform.
• Carry pager responsibility for the application stack as part of a small on‑call rotation.
