Job description

  • We are seeking a Senior Cloud Engineer to architect design, build, and operate a secure, scalable, and highly automated multi-cloud platform leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure. As a key technical leader, you will drive the evolution of our multi-cloud engineering, enabling resilient, cloud-native services that support mission-critical enterprise workloads., * Platform Engineering, Design & Architecture
  • Architect, engineer, and implement scalable, secure, and resilient cloud solutions across GCP and AWS, with Azure as a plus. Engineer multi-region, highly available architectures aligned with enterprise standards and best practices.
  • Infrastructure Automation & IaC
  • Lead engineering, adoption, and development of Terraform-based infrastructure as code, ensuring consistency, compliance, and reusability. Build and maintain modular Terraform frameworks for provisioning cloud infrastructure. Integrate IaC into CI/CD pipelines to enable fully automated provisioning and deployment workflows.
  • Containerization & Kubernetes Platforms
  • Direct knowledge and engineering leveraging Kubernetes platforms (EKS, GKE) and associated ecosystems. Implementation of container orchestration best practices including scaling, observability, and security.
  • Identity, Access & Security Governance
  • Experienced working knowledge architecting and designing robust IAM strategies across GCP and AWS including least-privilege access models. Implement policy frameworks for access control, resource governance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Networking & Connectivity
  • Direct knowledge and experience architecting, designing, and engineering cloud networking solutions including VPC/VNet design, routing, peering, VPNs, and private connectivity. Ensure secure, high-performance connectivity between cloud environments and on-premises systems.
  • Policy Management & Governance
  • Deep understanding of policy management, policy-as-code frameworks to ensure consistent governance of resources, tagging strategies, and compliance controls. Collaboration with governance, policy, and security teams to ensure cloud environments meet enterprise and regulatory standards.
  • Modernization & Mentorship
  • Champion cloud-native and platform engineering best practices across the organization. Drive the evolution of platform engineering practice by incorporating infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles. Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership for complex cloud initiatives. Serve as an escalation point for critical cloud infrastructure and platform issues., Role Overview: As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in TypeScript, you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing robust, scalable web applications.

Requirements

  • This role requires deep expertise in cloud architecture, infrastructure as code (IaC), and distributed systems engineering, with a strong focus on Terraform-driven automation and platform standardization. The ideal candidate brings strong Kubernetes, IAM, networking, and policy management experience, along with a disciplined approach to security, reliability, and cost optimization., * Cloud Platforms & Architecture
  • Extensive firsthand experience with AWS and GCP in large-scale enterprise environments.
  • Strong expertise in cloud architecture, including high availability, disaster recovery, and multi-region design.
  • Deep understanding of cloud-native services and distributed systems principles.

Infrastructure as Code & Automation:

  • Advanced proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management.
  • Experience designing reusable modules and managing Terraform state at scale.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tooling and Git-based workflows.

Kubernetes & Container Platforms:

  • Strong experience with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) and container ecosystems.
  • Knowledge of Helm, service meshes, and container security best practices.
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM)
  • Deep understanding of IAM concepts in AWS and GCP, including roles, policies, and federation.
  • Experience implementing RBAC and least-privilege access models at scale.
  • Networking & Core Infrastructure
  • Strong knowledge of cloud networking concepts: VPCs, subnets, routing, load balancing, DNS, and hybrid connectivity.
  • Experience designing secure network architectures across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Policy Management & Governance
  • Direct experience with policy enforcement frameworks and governance models in AWS and GCP.
  • Familiarity with policy-as-code tools and compliance automation practices.
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • At least 8 to 10 years’ experience engineering infrastructure in a multi-cloud environment, experience with modern cloud-native technologies, such as container orchestration platforms (e.g., Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes,) and public cloud experiences are an advantage.
  • Experience operating within highly regulated environments, with a strong grasp of data privacy, compliance frameworks, and disaster recovery architectures.
  • Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Google Professional Cloud Architect, or Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD).
  • Experience with platform engineering, internal developer platforms (IDP), or self-service cloud models
