About The Position

The Cloud Engineering, Vice President is a hands-on expert who turns high-level cloud designs into secure, automated, production-ready infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and OCI. The role emphasizes disciplined engineering, Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code, automation, compliance, and reliability. The position independently builds and operates complex cloud environments, automates deployment pipelines, hardens platforms against security threats, and manages multi-cloud services at scale. The role also advances engineering standards through code reviews, documentation, and mentoring, improving platform stability, delivery speed, and team capability. The selected colleague works at an MUFG office or client site four days per week and remotely one day per week. The role partners with architecture, security, and platform engineering teams to deliver standardized, secure, observable, and compliant cloud environments.

Requirements

At least 8 years of enterprise infrastructure engineering experience, including 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.
Advanced proficiency in AWS, including IAM, VPC, EC2, S3, Route53, Security Hub, and GuardDuty.
Proficiency in Azure AD, networking, container services, and resource management.
Proficiency in OCI VCN, IAM, compartments, object storage, and security zones.
Deep Terraform experience, including module design, state management, workspaces, and version-control integration; Terraform is preferred over CloudFormation.
Skill in Python, PowerShell, or Bash for infrastructure automation, orchestration, and operational tooling.
Expertise designing infrastructure CI/CD workflows using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins.
Strong command of IP routing, subnets, VPNs, DNS, firewalls, and private connectivity across clouds.
Hands-on implementation of IAM, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and compliance automation.
Self-driven, with the ability to own 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.
Passion for 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.
