Cloud Engineer

Expanding IT Platform team to support our mission of Autonomous Mobility. We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer to help operate and support our AWS environment, working closely with the Cloud Engineering team and partnering with engineering teams across IT & Applications, Infrastructure, Product Software, Data Platform, and Manufacturing Operations. This role executes day-to-day provisioning, automation, and support work that keeps AWS platform running securely and reliably.

In this role, you will:

• Provision and manage AWS accounts and tenant structures, including IAM users/roles, cross-account access, and SSO group setup, following established playbooks
• Write and maintain Terraform modules - both applying existing centralized modules and authoring new ones - for account setup, networking, IAM, and resource provisioning
• Build and configure AWS networking resources (VPCs, subnets, VPC peering, routing) based on team designs
• Support secrets management workflows (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault) for integrations with third-party platforms (e.g., Mulesoft)
• Apply security and governance guardrails to provisioned resources (least-privilege IAM, encryption, AMI/container compliance checks)
• Troubleshoot and resolve day-to-day AWS support tickets across compute, storage, and networking for cross-functional customers (engineering tools, HPC/simulation workloads, mission control systems, data platform, manufacturing systems)
• Follow and help maintain runbooks/playbooks for recurring provisioning and operational tasks
• Escalate architectural or ambiguous issues to senior team members while owning execution of well-defined requests

• 5+ years of experience
• Hands-on experience with AWS in a production environment - compute, storage, networking, and IAM
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform, including writing and modifying modules
• Working knowledge of AWS networking fundamentals (VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups)
• Understanding of IAM and cloud security fundamentals (least privilege, encryption, secrets management)
• Comfortable working from tickets, playbooks, and runbooks, and following documented processes accurately
• Good written and verbal communication skills; able to work with engineers and business stakeholders to clarify requirements
• Ability to work independently on well-scoped tasks while knowing when to escalate

Bonus Qualifications:

• Experience with Terraform Cloud, Spacelift, or similar centralized IaC platforms
• Exposure to multi-account AWS environments (Landing Zones, Control Tower)
• Experience with containerized workloads (Kubernetes/EKS)
• Familiarity with monitoring/alerting tools (e.g., Grafana, CloudWatch)
• Exposure to AI/ML or HPC cloud workloads
