They are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join their Cloud Engineering team, responsible for ensuring scalability, reliability, and security for all backend services while maintaining cloud infrastructure and CI/CD systems.
Responsibilities
- Build cloud infrastructure as code — design, implement, and maintain AWS and GCP infrastructure with Terraform, optimizing for reliability, security, and cost
- Own our Kubernetes & GitOps platform — run and evolve EKS/GKE (cluster upgrades, Envoy/Gloo networking, Helm, ArgoCD delivery)
- Keep the SDLC fast and safe — build CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows (GitHub Actions, monorepo tooling, JFrog Artifactory), and maintain the backend “golden templates” and shared libraries the wider org builds on
- Lead platform migrations end-to-end — plan, execute, and de-risk observability, data-store, Kubernetes, and multi-account migrations, including rollback strategy
- Drive operational excellence & security — own observability in Datadog and on-call, remediate CVEs, manage secrets and access controls (Cloudflare/ZTNA, Okta, SSO, Workload Identity Federation), and optimize cloud cost
- Multiply the team — enable AI/ML developer tooling (Amazon Bedrock, Claude, AI-assisted workflows), lead design and code reviews, set technical standards, mentor engineers, and partner with other teams
Skills
- 5–8 years in cloud engineering, infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE roles
- Bachelor's in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Deep, hands-on AWS (ideally GCP) — EKS/GKE, Lambda, networking, IAM, S3, Kinesis, OpenSearch, Route53 — managed declaratively with Terraform at scale
- Solid experience with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Helm, GitOps (ArgoCD), and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar) in a monorepo or multi-service environment
- Modern observability tooling (Datadog or similar) for metrics, logs, traces, and alerting; supporting production systems, on-call, and debugging complex distributed systems
- Proficiency in at least one of Java, TypeScript, Python, or Go for automation, tooling, and platform development; comfort with scripting and SQL
- Able to communicate technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences, lead through influence, and mentor other engineers
- Experience with edge and zero-trust networking (Cloudflare, Envoy/Gloo)
- Experience operating data and streaming infrastructure (Kinesis, Flink, Redis/Valkey, Confluent/Kafka)
- Experience enabling AI/ML infrastructure or developer tooling (Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, or LLM-based developer workflows)
