Role summary

A Cloud Engineer designs, builds, and operates cloud infrastructure and platform services. The role focuses on scalable, secure, and reliable cloud environments, automation, cost optimization, and integration with applications and data services.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement cloud infrastructure (networking, compute, storage, IAM, and security controls).
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automate deployments.
• Manage cloud environments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep).
• Configure and operate container platforms and orchestration where applicable (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS/AKS/GKE).
• Implement observability (logs/metrics/traces), alerting, and operational runbooks.
• Security hardening: least privilege, secrets management, vulnerability management integration, audit logging.
• Set up networking and connectivity (VPC/VNet, peering, VPN/Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, DNS).
• Perform reliability and disaster recovery planning (backups, replication, failover testing).
• Support application teams with cloud environment setup, tuning, and migration assistance.
• Optimize costs using monitoring, right-sizing, tagging, and usage analysis.
• Troubleshoot production/cloud incidents and drive corrective actions.

Required qualifications

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP) in production.
• Strong fundamentals in Linux and networking (DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewall concepts).
• Proficiency with IaC tools (Terraform preferred; provider-native acceptable).
• Experience with CI/CD and automation (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
• Understanding of IAM, authentication/authorization, and cloud security best practices.
• Experience with monitoring/observability and incident troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with databases/data services and their operational considerations (backups, scaling, migrations).

Preferred qualifications

• Experience across more than one cloud provider (multi-cloud/hybrid).
• Experience with Kubernetes and/or managed container services.
• Experience with data platforms (ETL/ELT, warehousing, streaming) relevant to the business.
• Knowledge of performance optimization, capacity planning, and service reliability concepts.
• Experience with enterprise networking/hybrid connectivity (VPN, private links, gateways).
• Certifications for one or more clouds (e.g., AWS/Azure/GCP) if applicable.

Skills and competencies

• Strong problem-solving and root-cause thinking.
• Automation-first mindset and ability to standardize platforms.
• Clear communication with application and operations teams.
• Security-minded engineering and good operational discipline.
