Job description

We are seeking a Cloud Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate a modern, scalable cloud platform that enables engineering teams to deliver applications efficiently and securely. This role moves beyond traditional "cloud infrastructure" or "architect" responsibilities-focusing on platform engineering, automation, developer enablement, and governance at scale. You will play a key role in building a self-service cloud platform, establishing standards, and driving operational excellence across AWS and Azure environments.

You will partner closely with CloudOps, Security, and Engineering teams to deliver a centralized DevOps platform capability aligned to our Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) strategy.

What You'll Do Platform Engineering & Enablement Design and build a cloud platform that enables self-service infrastructure provisioning Develop standardized, reusable platform components (networking, compute, storage, identity) Enable developers through golden paths, templates, and platform APIs Improve developer experience by reducing friction in provisioning and deployment

Infrastructure as Code & Automation Build and manage infrastructure using Terraform (required) Create and maintain reusable Terraform modules and pipelines Implement GitOps and CI/CD-driven infrastructure delivery Automate provisioning, configuration, and operational workflows

Requirements

8-10+ years of experience in cloud engineering / platform engineering Strong hands-on experience with AWS and Azure (multi-cloud preferred) Expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code

Deep knowledge of:

o Cloud networking (VPC routing, connectivity) o Identity (AWS IAM, Azure Entra ID) Experience with Kubernetes (EKS / AKS) and container platforms Strong understanding of DevOps / SRE principles Experience building highly available and scalable systems

Preferred Experience building internal developer platforms Familiarity with GitOps (ArgoCD) and CI/CD pipelines Experience with observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, etc.) Exposure to enterprise cloud governance / CCoE models Experience with cloud migrations (on-prem * cloud)

Key Skills Strong automation and scripting Platform design and architectural thinking Problem-solving in complex distributed systems Strong communication and collaboration skills Ability to operate in fast-paced, production-critical environments Negotiation & Requirement gathering from a multidisciplinary team.
