Job Summary: The Senior Cloud Engineer is a hands-on expert responsible for turning high-level cloud designs into secure, automated, and production-ready infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and OCI. This role requires disciplined engineering, deep knowledge of Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, and a commitment to automation, compliance, and reliability. The ideal candidate is capable of independently building and operating complex cloud environments, automating deployment pipelines, hardening platforms against security threats, and managing multi-cloud services at scale. Success in this role depends on strong execution, ownership of delivery, and the ability to refine engineering standards through code reviews, documentation, and mentoring others. Your work will directly improve platform stability, delivery speed, and team capability. Core Responsibilities: Infrastructure Engineering and Delivery Implement multi-cloud infrastructure aligned with enterprise design standards and governance controls. Engineer compute, storage, network, and identity services across AWS, Azure, and OCI with an emphasis on automation, repeatability, and security. Deliver production-grade builds with automated patching, backup, and monitoring integrated from day one. Infrastructure as Code and Automation Define, modularize, and maintain reusable Terraform codebases and state management strategies across multiple accounts and tenants. Create CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins to orchestrate provisioning, testing, and deployment of infrastructure. Integrate policy-as-code, compliance scanning, and automated guardrails into all deployment workflows. Security and Compliance Integration Enforce least-privilege IAM, encryption, network segmentation, and configuration hardening aligned to CIS and NIST 800-53 frameworks. Implement continuous compliance and drift detection through automation and native cloud controls. Collaborate with security engineering to integrate vulnerability scanning, key management, and secrets automation. Cloud Networking and Connectivity Design and deploy hybrid connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, OCI FastConnect), private endpoints, and inter-VPC/VNet peering. Implement resilient routing, DNS, and firewall configurations supporting multi-region failover and segmentation. Operations and Observability Build telemetry, monitoring, and alerting solutions using native services (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, OCI Observability) and third-party tools. Lead incident analysis, root cause investigation, and long-term remediation through automation. Optimize cost, performance, and reliability through continuous measurement and tuning. Collaboration and Mentorship Partner with architecture, security, and platform engineering to ensure consistency across environments. Mentor engineers in Terraform, automation best practices, and operational excellence. Author detailed runbooks, reference implementations, and design documentation to standardize delivery.

Requirements

8+ years in enterprise infrastructure engineering, with at least 6 years in public cloud engineering roles.
Proven success building and operating secure, automated AWS, Azure, and OCI environments.
Demonstrated capability in multi-account governance, landing zone engineering, and environment standardization.
Strong record of automating deployment pipelines and operational processes end-to-end.
Cloud Platforms: Advanced proficiency in AWS (IAM, VPC, EC2, S3, Route53, Security Hub, GuardDuty), Azure (AD, networking, container services, resource management), and OCI (VCN, IAM, compartments, object storage, security zones).
Infrastructure as Code: Deep experience in Terraform (preferred over CloudFormation) including module design, state management, workspaces, and version control integration.
Automation & Scripting: Skilled in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for infrastructure automation, orchestration, and operational tooling.
DevSecOps Pipelines: Expertise in designing CI/CD workflows for infrastructure deployment using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
Networking: Strong command of IP routing, subnets, VPNs, DNS, firewalls, and private connectivity across clouds.
Security Engineering: Hands-on implementation of IAM, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance automation.
Self-driven and capable of owning complex builds through completion.
Precise technical communicator able to interpret architecture and deliver engineered, automated outcomes.
Collaborative across disciplines while maintaining a deep technical focus.
Passionate about continuous improvement and mentorship within a technical team.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a closely-related discipline, or an equivalent combination of formal education and experience

Nice To Haves
