The Must-Haves:

• 5+ years in Cloud Infrastructure & Systems Engineering, with primary expertise in Terraform and IaC Architecture
• Deep, advanced proficiency with Terraform, including architecting scalable module libraries, state management, environment separation, and establishing code reusable across multi-project environments.
• Hands-on experience managing Google Cloud (GCP) environments, specifically provisioning and managing Shared VPCs, IAM hierarchies, and Cloud SQL using declarative IaC.
• Proven experience building, testing, and managing automated IaC pipelines in Azure DevOps (e.g., automated plan/apply workflows, drift detection, static analysis, and policy enforcement).
• Proficiency with Ansible for configuration management to complement Terraform's provisioning layer.
• Strong understanding of containerization and orchestration (GKE/Kubernetes vs. VMs) to design scalable, elastic cloud architecture.
• Strong Linux administration background with a solid command-line foundation for low-level infrastructure debugging.

Your Mission in Motion:

A summary of key responsibilities for the role is outlined below. Additional duties may be assigned as needed to support business objectives.

• Automated CI/CD for Infrastructure: Build robust Azure DevOps pipelines tailored specifically for infrastructure releases, embedding automated testing, validation, and automated pull-request checks.
• GCP Cloud Architecture: Partner with engineering teams to design resilient GCP foundations (networking, IAM, database instances) purely defined through code.
• Technical Mentorship & Governance: Act as the senior voice for IaC standards-establishing code review practices, module documentation, and guiding developers on IaC best practices.
• Compute & Container Strategy: Help architect the next phase of workloads, evaluating when services should migrate to container orchestration versus managed cloud services or VMs.
• Reliability & Resilience: Collaborate with teams to define system health, observability, and infrastructure resiliency standards, participating in an on-call rotation to maintain operational availability.

Paving your way to your success:

• You lead the shift from manual work to automation by creating clear standards and driving consistent adoption across teams.
• You partner effectively with developers to unblock deployments, using strong troubleshooting judgment and a calm, systematic approach.
• You have the ability to understand application dependencies and troubleshoot build/deployment errors to unblock developers in mixed environments.
• You balance modernization decisions pragmatically, helping teams choose between containers and VMs based on what each workload needs.
