About The Position

The Sr. Cloud Platform Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining a scalable, secure, and resilient cloud infrastructure that supports business-critical systems. This role provides technical leadership across automation, observability, platform reliability, and modern cloud architecture standards while mentoring peers and influencing long-term cloud strategy. While this is a fully remote position, we are looking for candidates located within pacific and mountain times zones because of our client base. The engineer applies advanced knowledge across cloud platforms, networking, compute, storage, CI/CD systems, and security controls to ensure availability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. While cloud technologies may span multiple providers, the organization primarily operates in AWS, and deep familiarity with core AWS services is expected. This position is ideal for an experienced cloud or SRE professional seeking to shape infrastructure standards, guide engineering best practices, and help elevate organizational cloud maturity.
