Sr. Cloud Engineer (AWS, GCP)

***We are unable to sponsor as this is a permanent full time role***

***Hybrid, 4 days onsite, 1 day remote***

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain a globally distributed cloud infrastructure platform using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
• Collaborate with Cloud Platform Engineering and business unit application teams to engineer infrastructure solutions for their cloud-based applications
• Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based platforms and workloads (EKS, Cluster API), including GitOps workflows (e.g., Argo CD)
• Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation
• Perform system and database maintenance, including application deployment, backup and restoration, patching, and upgrades
• Maintain cloud environments through incident response, troubleshooting, and performance tuning
• Participate in on-call rotations and support operational readiness
• Lead implementation of cloud infrastructure projects from design through delivery
• Own complex workstreams end-to-end — scope, sequencing, and hand-off to operations
• Lead design discussions and reviews, and provide technical direction and feedback to other engineers
• Define and evolve the patterns and standards that keep the platform consistent and maintainable
• Collaborate with development, security, and operations teams to ensure systems are secure and compliant
• Create and maintain clear, accurate documentation — infrastructure designs, standard operating procedures, and support runbooks — tailored to the target audience (e.g., engineers, support staff)

Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience working with public cloud platforms (AWS and GCP preferred) in a professional setting.
• Deep, hands-on experience deploying and managing Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) and GitOps (Argo CD).
• Deep, hands-on experience using Terraform, CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and scripting languages (Python) to deploy, maintain, and support cloud infrastructure.
• Strong experience supporting containerized applications and Linux-based systems.
• Strong understanding of networking, IAM, cloud observability, and common cloud services such as AWS VPC, EC2, S3, SNS, SQS, and Lambda.
• Familiarity with managing secrets and sensitive configuration using tools such as HashiCorp Vault.
• Experience designing, deploying, and operating fault-tolerant systems with on-call responsibilities.
