Job Title: Senior Cloud Engineer – Multi-Cloud (GCP. AWS, and Azure)

Department: IT Infrastructure & Cloud Platforms

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to architect design, build, and operate a secure, scalable, and highly automated multi-cloud platform leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure. As a key technical leader, you will drive the evolution of our multi-cloud engineering, enabling resilient, cloud-native services that support mission-critical enterprise workloads.

This role requires deep expertise in cloud architecture, infrastructure as code (IaC), and distributed systems engineering, with a strong focus on Terraform-driven automation and platform standardization. The ideal candidate brings strong Kubernetes, IAM, networking, and policy management experience, along with a disciplined approach to security, reliability, and cost optimization.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Engineering, Design & Architecture

Architect, engineer, and implement scalable, secure, and resilient cloud solutions across GCP and AWS, with Azure as a plus. Engineer multi-region, highly available architectures aligned with enterprise standards and best practices.

Infrastructure Automation & IaC

Lead engineering, adoption, and development of Terraform-based infrastructure as code, ensuring consistency, compliance, and reusability. Build and maintain modular Terraform frameworks for provisioning cloud infrastructure. Integrate IaC into CI/CD pipelines to enable fully automated provisioning and deployment workflows.

Containerization & Kubernetes Platforms

Direct knowledge and engineering leveraging Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) and associated ecosystems. Implementation of container orchestration best practices including scaling, observability, and security.

Identity, Access & Security Governance

Experienced working knowledge architecting and designing robust IAM strategies across GCP and AWS including least-privilege access models. Implement policy frameworks for access control, resource governance, and regulatory compliance.

Networking & Connectivity

Direct knowledge and experience architecting, designing, and engineering cloud networking solutions including VPC/VNet design, routing, peering, VPNs, and private connectivity. Ensure secure, high-performance connectivity between cloud environments and on-premises systems.

Policy Management & Governance

Deep understanding of policy management, policy-as-code frameworks to ensure consistent governance of resources, tagging strategies, and compliance controls. Collaboration with governance, policy, and security teams to ensure cloud environments meet enterprise and regulatory standards.

Modernization & Mentorship

Champion cloud-native and platform engineering best practices across the organization. Drive the evolution of platform engineering practice by incorporating infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles. Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership for complex cloud initiatives. Serve as an escalation point for critical cloud infrastructure and platform issues.
