Preferred Qualifications * Experience with multi-cloud Terraform (AWS + Azure or AWS + GCP). * Familiarity with Terragrunt, Atlantis, Spacelift, or env0. * Experience with policy-as-code engines (Sentinel, OPA, Checkov). * Contributions to public Terraform modules or providers. * Exposure to FinOps practices and tagging-driven cost governance. ## Description We are seeking an Infrastructure Engineer - Automation with deep Terraform expertise to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure-as-code foundations that power our cloud and hybrid environments. This role focuses on creating reusable Terraform modules, hardening pipelines, enforcing policy-as-code, and standardizing infrastructure delivery across multiple teams and cloud providers. The ideal candidate brings strong software engineering discipline to infrastructure work, has shipped production-grade Terraform at scale, and understands the operational realities of managing thousands of resources across many environments and accounts., * Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code that codifies the entire infrastructure estate across cloud accounts and environments. * Build a library of well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation. * Implement Terraform automation pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, with plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement. * Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, Open Policy Agent (OPA), Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes. * Manage Terraform state at scale with appropriate backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns. * Drive multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with clear isolation, naming, and tagging standards. * Implement infrastructure testing including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests. * Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails directly into reusable modules and pipelines. * Standardize patterns for secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions. * Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform footprints with minimal disruption. * Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across the Terraform-managed estate. * Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards. * Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform. * Stay current with Terraform, OpenTofu, and broader IaC ecosystem developments and recommend adoption where beneficial. ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Terraform for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/3-terraform-for-developers) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
