IaC ownership: reusable modules, standardized patterns, environment consistency (25%)

• Develop and maintain IaC (Terraform, Ansible, Bicep) with focus on reusable modules, standardized patterns, and consistency.
• Establish code quality expectations (reviews, documentation, versioning, validation) to improve repeatability and reduce risk.

Automation-first engineering for efficiency and improve reliability (15%)

• Build automation workflows and scripts (Python, PowerShell, Bash) to eliminate manual operational tasks and improve reliability.

Reliability ownership and operational standards (lead, don’t just participate) (15%)

• Own reliability outcomes for cloud services.
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis; implement preventative improvements.
• Define and improve runbooks, monitoring standards, alerting practices, and support models.

Security, compliance, resilience, and vulnerability management as engineered guardrails (12%)

• Ensure deployments meet security and compliance expectations through guardrails, patterns, and technical controls with Security/Risk.
• Support audit readiness (SOC, HIPAA, CMMC examples) with evidence support and control implementation.
• Design and validate backup, recovery, and resilience patterns; ensure objectives are tested and reliable.

• Lead and automate patching and vulnerability management improvements.

Technical leadership: mentoring and cross-team influence (*8%)

• Translate requirements into designs, implementation plans, and roadmaps aligned to cloud-first.
• Mentor engineers through pairing, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Provide technical guidance across teams, influencing patterns and decisions to reduce delivery friction

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 5+ years in cloud engineering, infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, or related roles.
• Hands-on engineering depth in at least two major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI).
