Cloud Enablement Engineer

Regular or Temporary: Regular Language Fluency: English (Required) Work Shift: 1st shift (United States of America) Job Overview The Cloud Platform Engineer is a hands‑on senior individual contributor embedded within a shared services organization, responsible for enabling application teams across the enterprise to safely and efficiently build, deploy, and operate workloads on the AWS cloud platform. This role sits at the intersection of cloud enablement, container security, and developer empowerment. The ideal candidate is a cloud‑native engineer and natural teacher who leads by example through pairing, building secure guardrails by default, and making the right path the easy path. This is a pure engineering and enablement role with no operational on‑call responsibility. The engineer influences platform direction, mentors peers and junior engineers, and drives capability uplift across business units rather than creating dependency on the platform team. Key Responsibilities Enable application teams to adopt and operate on the enterprise AWS platform through pair programming, workshops, documentation, and training. Drive developer self‑sufficiency and transfer knowledge without creating dependency. Support adoption of enterprise Terraform modules and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, reducing friction at every step. Own and maintain hardened base container images aligned to enterprise standards. Enforce compliance automatically within CI/CD pipelines and educate teams on security best practices and guardrail rationale. Build and maintain guardrails, SCPs, IAM policies, and pipeline‑enforced compliance checks so non‑compliant deployments are blocked by default. Monitor for configuration drift and drive proactive remediation. Champion reliability engineering principles across teams. Conduct resiliency reviews via AWS Resilience Hub and provide consulting guidance on DR and BCP requirements. Drive chaos engineering adoption to surface weaknesses proactively and help teams instrument workloads for observability. Build Python‑based automation and reusable tooling that eliminates repetitive tasks and makes common cloud tasks faster, safer, and more consistent for platform and application teams alike. Lead technical direction within the platform team, influence roadmap, and mentor junior engineers. Conduct peer reviews, influence decisions across peer teams, and translate developer needs into platform improvements across business units. Identify and elevate cost optimization opportunities to the FinOps squad. Work to achieve operational targets with major impact on the infrastructure engineering department, design, build, and manage enterprise infrastructure technology platforms across cloud, network, database, storage, platform, computing, or middleware domains. Develop and apply automation, monitoring, and optimization techniques to ensure high availability and performance of infrastructure. Manage large infrastructure projects and programs aligned with organizational strategy and regulatory requirements. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams and external partners to integrate new technologies and continuously improve infrastructure standards and processes. Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues impacting infrastructure performance and reliability. Ensure compliance with technology strategies, standards, and governance to mitigate risks and ensure regulatory adherence. Review infrastructure designs, configurations, and procedures to support operational consistency and knowledge sharing. Provide strong technical guidance, training, and direction to infrastructure teams and lower‑level technical professionals.
