If you possess a strong sense of empathy, enjoy assisting others, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and excel at problem-solving, we encourage you to apply today to connect with a recruiter! Founded in 1986, OnTrac has evolved into the leading provider of same-day and next-day delivery services in the U.S. for premier e-commerce and product-supply businesses, including five of the largest retailers in the U.S. This position may be performed remotely in states where the company is authorized to employ individuals. The Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Engineer joins the IT Engineering team during a pivotal phase of the GCP journey. This role will partner closely with the development teams to support the cloud environment shift from manual-heavy operations to a fully automated infrastructure. This individual will help mature the CI/CD environment into a predictable, standardized ecosystem, and lead the effort to standardize Terraform and Ansible playbooks/modules and ensure infrastructure is resilient, scalable, and built on secure guardrails.
Requirements
- 5+ years in Cloud Infrastructure & Systems Engineering, with primary expertise in Terraform and IaC Architecture
- Deep, advanced proficiency with Terraform, including architecting scalable module libraries, state management, environment separation, and establishing code reusable across multi-project environments.
- Hands-on experience managing Google Cloud (GCP) environments, specifically provisioning and managing Shared VPCs, IAM hierarchies, and Cloud SQL using declarative IaC.
- Proven experience building, testing, and managing automated IaC pipelines in Azure DevOps (e.g., automated plan/apply workflows, drift detection, static analysis, and policy enforcement).
- Proficiency with Ansible for configuration management to complement Terraform's provisioning layer.
- Strong understanding of containerization and orchestration (GKE/Kubernetes vs. VMs) to design scalable, elastic cloud architecture.
- Strong Linux administration background with a solid command-line foundation for low-level infrastructure debugging.
Responsibilities
- Own and modernize the global Terraform ecosystem—moving away from manual infrastructure changes to dynamic, version-controlled module libraries that eliminate configuration drift.
- Build robust Azure DevOps pipelines tailored specifically for infrastructure releases, embedding automated testing, validation, and automated pull-request checks.
- Partner with engineering teams to design resilient GCP foundations (networking, IAM, database instances) purely defined through code.
- Act as the senior voice for IaC standards—establishing code review practices, module documentation, and guiding developers on IaC best practices.
- Help architect the next phase of workloads, evaluating when services should migrate to container orchestration versus managed cloud services or VMs.
- Collaborate with teams to define system health, observability, and infrastructure resiliency standards, participating in an on-call rotation to maintain operational availability.
- Lead the shift from manual work to automation by creating clear standards and driving consistent adoption across teams.
- Partner effectively with developers to unblock deployments, using strong troubleshooting judgment and a calm, systematic approach.
- Understand application dependencies and troubleshoot build/deployment errors to unblock developers in mixed environments.
- Balance modernization decisions pragmatically, helping teams choose between containers and VMs based on what each workload needs.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life and short- and long-term disability coverage
- 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match
- Flex vacation in states other than CA, CO, IL, MA, MT, and NE, with accruals up to 96 hours for first year of employment with tenure-based increases up to 160 hours
- Two (2) floating holidays per year
