The ideal candidate has production-scale Terraform experience and understands the operational challenges of managing large numbers of resources across multiple environments and accounts. This is a full-time, direct W2 position that is 100% remote in the United States. The salary range is $100,000–$150,000 annually. Candidates who are U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, EAD holders, or candidates seeking an H-1B transfer are encouraged to apply; new H-1B petitions cannot be sponsored for this position.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Five or more years of experience in cloud infrastructure or DevOps engineering, with significant Terraform focus.
Deep, hands-on experience authoring and maintaining production Terraform for at least one major cloud provider.
Strong experience designing reusable Terraform modules with clean APIs and version discipline.
Hands-on experience with Terraform state management, backends, and large-scale workspace organization.
Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure code and automated policy enforcement.
Solid understanding of cloud networking, identity, and security primitives.
Strong Git-based workflow skills, including code review, branching, and release management.
Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with multi-cloud Terraform, such as AWS with Azure or GCP.
Familiarity with Terragrunt, Atlantis, Spacelift, or env0.
Experience with policy-as-code engines such as Sentinel, OPA, or Checkov.
Contributions to public Terraform modules or providers.
Exposure to FinOps practices and tagging-driven cost governance.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain modular, composable Terraform code for infrastructure across cloud accounts and environments.
Build and maintain well-tested, reusable Terraform modules with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, and comprehensive documentation.
Implement Terraform automation pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, or Spacelift, including plan/apply gating, drift detection, and policy enforcement.
Define and enforce policy-as-code using Sentinel, OPA, Conftest, or Checkov to prevent insecure or non-compliant infrastructure changes.
Manage Terraform state at scale, including backend strategies, state locking, workspace organization, and disaster recovery patterns.
Develop multi-account, multi-region, and multi-cloud infrastructure provisioning strategies with isolation, naming, and tagging standards.
Implement infrastructure testing, including unit tests with terraform-compliance, integration tests with Terratest, and policy tests across pull requests.
Collaborate with security, networking, and platform teams to embed guardrails in reusable modules and pipelines.
Standardize secrets management, identity federation, and least-privilege IAM through reusable Terraform abstractions.
Lead migrations from legacy, ClickOps, or non-IaC infrastructure into managed Terraform environments with minimal disruption.
Drive cost optimization, tagging hygiene, and lifecycle management across Terraform-managed infrastructure.
Mentor engineering teams on Terraform best practices, anti-patterns, and pull-request review standards.
Maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the infrastructure platform.
Monitor developments in Terraform, OpenTofu, and the broader IaC ecosystem and recommend beneficial adoption.
