Full Job Description
The work

Cloud Infrastructure Engineers build and operate the shared technical foundation on which applications run. Their scope includes networking, compute, storage, identity, secrets, connectivity, and recovery capabilities, designed as a coherent environment rather than a collection of service configurations.

They use automation to create repeatable environments, establish guardrails, and make operating conditions visible through monitoring. Where DevSecOps Engineers own the secure delivery path, Cloud Infrastructure Engineers own the platform capabilities, service configuration, capacity, resilience, and operational patterns that delivery teams consume.

What you'll build
• Versioned cloud environments for networks, compute, storage, identity, and connectivity.
• Landing-zone patterns, account structures, and guardrails for teams using shared cloud services.
• Resilience capabilities including backup, recovery, failover, and capacity management.
• Monitoring, alerting, and cloud security posture management for infrastructure health and configuration.
• Reusable platform services that give application teams a consistent path to deploy and operate.

Who you are

You think in systems and operating conditions. A network rule, identity policy, storage setting, or recovery process is not a one-time configuration to you; it is a component whose behavior must remain understandable as the environment changes.

You prefer documented automation to hand-built environments. You can work with application, security, and operations colleagues, yet keep clear ownership of the foundation that those teams rely on.

What you bring
• Experience designing or operating Amazon Web Services or comparable cloud networking, compute, storage, and identity services.
• Infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management practice with Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or comparable tools.
• Knowledge of identity and access management, secrets handling, and network segmentation.
• Experience with observability, capacity planning, backup, recovery, and incident response.
• Ability to evaluate cloud configurations against mission, resilience, cost, and security requirements.

Requirements

Openings may specify a cloud provider, hybrid environment, container platform, or network architecture. They may also seek experience with cloud security posture management, a continuous practice of identifying, prioritizing, and addressing cloud configuration and vulnerability issues.

Some environments may require evidence of resilience engineering, recovery testing, shared-service design, or authorization support. The role should not absorb ownership of each application release pipeline, even when infrastructure engineers collaborate closely with DevSecOps teams.

Benefits

Compensation, benefits, work location, and employment terms are set for each specific opening and will be stated with that opening.
