Job Title:

Senior Cloud & AI Engineer

Company:

Prologis

A day in the life

We are seeking a senior cloud engineer who combines deep infrastructure engineering expertise with an AI-first mindset. This role will help transform how Cloud Engineering operates — replacing repetitive work with intelligent automation, agentic workflows, and self-service platforms. The right candidate will not simply automate existing tasks; they will challenge current ways of working, redesign operational processes, and build scalable patterns that improve reliability, speed, and engineering leverage across the team.

This is a change-agent role. You will work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and applied AI — evaluating where agentic automation can replace manual toil, where deterministic automation is the right answer, and how to combine the two safely at enterprise scale.

Key responsibilities include:

AI & Agentic Automation

  • Identify high-friction operational workflows and redesign them using AI, automation, and platform engineering patterns.
  • Build agentic and event-driven workflows for provisioning, remediation, change execution, and support deflection.
  • Establish engineering standards for safe AI use in cloud operations — including observability, human-in-the-loop controls, auditability, and rollback.
  • Implement AI-assisted tooling for incident detection, classification, root cause analysis, and automated remediation.
  • Demonstrate willingness and capability toleverageemerging technology, automation, and AI tools to improve efficiency, quality, and speed. Exercises sound judgment, creative thinking, and accountability for outcomes.

Platform Engineering & Self-Service

  • Design and build self-service infrastructure capabilities using standardized modules, golden paths, and reusable components.
  • Enable teams to provision, manage, and operate infrastructure through code, APIs, and internal platforms reducing dependency on manual requests and ticket-driven workflows.

Cloud Infrastructure & Reliability

  • Design and operate infrastructure across AWS and Azure using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Build scalable systems using serverless, event-driven, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Automate identity and access workflows (Entra ID, SAML/OAuth, Cognito).
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across cloud, networking, identity, and distributed systems.

Operating Model & Change Leadership

  • Challenge existing operational processes and propose improvements that increase engineering leverage.
  • Influence engineering teams by introducing new patterns, standards, and ways of working.
  • Measure and communicate the impact of automation and AI adoption on operational metrics.

Building blocks for success

Required:

Cloud & Infrastructure

  • Strong experience with AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, DynamoDB, IAM) and Azure.
  • Solid networking fundamentals (DNS, routing, security).
  • Infrastructure as Code Terraform preferred, CloudFormation experience a plus.
  • CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps or similar).
  • Strong scripting and programming Python preferred; Bash, PowerShell.
  • Experience with Git workflows (branching, pull requests, code review).
  • Experience with authentication and identity systems (SAML, OAuth, Entra ID / Azure AD).

AI & Automation Fluency

  • Experience designing or building AI-assisted or agentic workflows for engineering or operational use cases.
  • Ability to evaluate when AI is the right tool, where deterministic automation is better, and how to combine the two safely.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply AI tooling to reduce operational overhead not just using copilots, but building AI into systems and processes.
  • Familiarity with AI orchestration concepts: tool use, context management, human-in-the-loop patterns, observability for AI-driven actions.

Mindset & Influence

  • Strong troubleshooting instincts across distributed systems and APIs.
  • Ability to identify inefficiencies and drive systemic change not just automate what exists, but question whether it should exist.
  • Ability to influence engineering teams and introduce new patterns, standards, and ways of working.

Preferred:
  • 7+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, cloud engineering, or platform engineering.
  • Experience with agentic AI frameworks, LLM orchestration, or AI-driven workflow tools (e.g., OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, n8n, MCP).
  • Experience with internal developer platforms, self-service tooling, or platform engineering practices.
  • Familiarity with ServiceNow, or similar ITSM/workflow platforms.
  • Experience supporting production systems in enterprise environments.

Hiring Salary Range of: $121,000 - $159,000. Salary and whole compensation package (bonus target) to be determined by the candidates location, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.
