About The Position

About Sanctum We’re not your average MSP. We’re building an AI-first IT platform where humans and intelligent agents work together to keep companies running faster, smarter, and cheaper than anyone thought possible. Sanctum is a new Infinity Constellation venture — an AI-powered Managed Services company designed from the ground up for automation, observability, and Zero Trust. No legacy bloat. No ticket silos. Just clean architecture and code that matters. If you want to babysit servers, go somewhere else. If you want to build the backbone of how AI runs IT — keep reading. The Role We’re looking for a Cloud & Automation Engineer who lives at the intersection of systems, code, and chaos. You’ll be the one making sure everything just works — clouds stay up, agents stay smart, and users stay happy. You’ll: Build, scale, and harden cloud environments (AWS + GCP). Automate identity, provisioning, and access — because tickets are for amateurs. Jump in on escalations that make other people sweat. Write clean, reusable scripts to kill manual work forever. Make the infrastructure invisible, reliable, and ridiculously fast. This is part ops, part dev, part automation wizard. You’ll be in the guts of the platform — the one who makes the lights never go out.

Requirements

• You’ve got 5+ years managing systems and cloud infrastructure — AWS, GCP, both, whatever.
• You code or script your way out of every problem (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).
• You think in automation, not checklists.
• You know networking, IAM, and security inside out.
• You’ve lived through a few “oh sht” incidents and learned how to prevent the next one.
• You speak fluent troubleshooting — logs don’t scare you.
• You want to be part of something early, messy, and meaningful.

Nice To Haves

• Terraform, Ansible, or configuration management experience.
• Certs like AWS Solutions Architect or GCP Cloud Engineer.
• Experience in MSP or multi-tenant environments.
• Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR compliance.
• Obsessed with Zero Trust, automation, and clean architecture.

Responsibilities

• Own AWS and GCP environments: compute, storage, networking, IAM, monitoring, and costs.
• Automate provisioning and identity using APIs, SCIM, and whatever scripts get the job done.
• Build integrations that let AI agents deploy, fix, and scale environments autonomously.
• Write Python, Bash, or PowerShell scripts that make everyone’s life easier.
• Keep infrastructure stable, secure, and observable — CloudWatch, GCP Ops Suite, whatever works.
• Run backups, test disaster recovery, and make sure you can sleep at night.
• Patch, monitor, log, repeat — but smarter every time.
• Troubleshoot the hard stuff: auth loops, permissions, weird edge cases no one’s seen before.
• Manage endpoints across macOS, Windows, and Linux using Zero Trust principles.
• Build secure baselines that scale across hundreds of devices.
• Work closely with our Security team to make “secure by default” more than a slogan.
• Act as L2/L3 escalation for Help Desk and onboarding.
• Write documentation that people actually want to read.
• Share what you learn — raise the team’s IQ every week.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.
• Flexible remote or hybrid work options.
• Opportunities to work with AWS, GCP, JumpCloud, Halo ITSM, and Google Workspace.
• Professional development and support for certification.
• Collaborative team culture with a focus on reliability, security, and innovation.
• Exposure to complex multi-tenant and automation-driven environments.
• You’ll be part of a team building the next generation of AI-assisted cloud operations — combining automation, observability, and Zero Trust to reinvent how IT is delivered.
