Senior Cloud Engineer, Infrastructure as Code

What You’ll Do

:

Cross Platform Enablement

• Integrate with multiple cloud delivery initiatives across Azure and GCP.
• Support internal teams consuming cloud platforms by providing guidance on infrastructure design, deployment patterns, and operational best practices.
• Operate effectively across varied delivery models without being tied to a single backlog or pipeline.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Develop, extend, and support the adoption of reusable Terraform modules, cloud and DevOps patterns across the enterprise.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in existing cloud foundations, onboarding workflows, shared infrastructure pipelines, and tenant consumables.
• Apply practical engineering judgment to improve IaC solutions to meet unique CIO needs while maintaining compatibility with existing environments.

Governance & Compliance Support

• Contribute to the evolution of policy‑as‑code and governance mechanisms (e.g., HashiCorp Sentinel, Open Policy Agent).
• Support regulated cloud environments, including the creation and enhancement of cloud platform landing zones to achieve PCI and other compliance frameworks.
• Help ensure governance controls are effective, scalable, and adoptable by delivery teams.

Developer Experience and CI/CD Contributions

• Participate in both traditional virtual machine and container‑based platforms development and adoption, including self-service consumable patterns and internally managed as a service Kubernetes offerings.
• Contribute to CI/CD workflows and automation supporting infrastructure and platform delivery (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Identify common failure patterns and contribute improvements that increase reliability and developer experience.

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Collaborate closely with Principal Engineers across cloud domains to align solutions with platform standards and product direction.
• Share knowledge through documentation, design discussions, demos, and code reviews.
• Provide informal mentorship and guidance to other engineers when working across teams.

What You'll Bring:

• Strong hands‑on experience with Terraform and shared IaC codebases.
• Experience with Kubernetes patterns (Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD/Flux).
• Practical experience across Azure and GCP, supporting VM, Kubernetes and other cloud-native workloads.
• Familiarity with infrastructure CI/CD and cloud governance in regulated environments.
• Comfort operating in brownfield environments and improving platforms incrementally.
• Comfortable working independently on complex ambiguous problems and collaborating across organizational boundaries to solve them.
• Demonstrated technical credibility and the ability to influence outcomes through collaboration rather than formal authority
• Self‑directed, with the ability to ramp up quickly and operate independently
