As a Senior Associate, Cloud Platform Engineer, you will leverage cloud engineering, platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), infrastructure automation, and DevOps practices to deliver resilient cloud services that improve developer productivity and operational excellence. Working closely with Cloud Engineering, Architecture, Security, Application Development, and Operations teams, you will develop reusable infrastructure, automate cloud operations, strengthen platform reliability, and integrate security and compliance into cloud-native services. This individual contributor role requires strong technical expertise, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for building cloud platforms that are secure, observable, resilient, and engineered for scale. What Youll Do * Design, build, automate, and continuously improve secure, scalable, and highly available AWS cloud platforms using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), cloud-native services, and automation to deliver consistent, repeatable infrastructure provisioning. * Develop reusable platform capabilities, automation, and engineering tools using Python, Go, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines to streamline cloud operations, reduce manual effort, and enable application teams to consume infrastructure through standardized self-service patterns. * Apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices to improve platform availability, scalability, observability, and operational resilience by implementing monitoring, alerting, logging, service-level indicators (SLIs), service-level objectives (SLOs), automated remediation, and incident response processes. * Design, implement, and operate Kubernetes and Amazon EKS environments while partnering with Security and Architecture teams to embed cloud security controls, policy-as-code, compliance validation, IAM, and governance into cloud platform services and infrastructure delivery pipelines. * Collaborate across Cloud Engineering, Architecture, Security, Product, and Application Development teams to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, support production environments, evaluate emerging technologies, and continuously improve cloud platform capabilities through automation, technical standards, and engineering best practices.
