Remote Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

• Architect, deploy, and maintain scalable, secure infrastructure across AWS and potentially Azure using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Pulumi and Terraform.
• Collaborate closely with internal engineering teams to understand product requirements, identify system constraints, and design solutions that balance performance, reliability, and cost.
• Own AWS EKS clusters and Kubernetes workloads, including autoscaling, FluxCD-based GitOps, Helm charts, and custom SDKs for reusable deployments.
• Design and manage core cloud services including VPCs, VPNs, IAM, S3, RDS, ECR, load balancing, and network security controls.
• Build, maintain, and document infrastructure templates and developer enablement tooling so teams can deploy independently.
• Implement observability and monitoring systems using Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki for infrastructure and application metrics.
• Establish and contribute to CI/CD best practices using GitHub Actions and related automation pipelines.
• Participate in on-call rotations and respond to infrastructure alerts, RFIs, and external requests.
• Author and review technical design documents and proposals for infrastructure initiatives, architecture changes, and new services.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to peers to elevate infrastructure craftsmanship across the organization.
