• Support first deployments by validating prerequisites, proving environment promotion, and resolving deployment defects.
• Provide operational support after go-live for issues related to access, connectivity, capacity, cost, and security findings.
• Review infrastructure code, pull requests, and architecture decision records against Cloud Engineering standards.
• Act as the cloud counterpart to external delivery partners and ensure designs align with security, network, and identity boundaries.
• Apply and tune security controls at product boundaries, including VPC Service Controls, organization policies, and Identity-Aware Proxy.
• Convert recurring product patterns into reusable assets and contribute to the Terraform module library.
• Ensure work is traceable through Jira work items tied to the source product.

• Understanding of cloud networking and identity principles, including DNS, TLS, OAuth2/OIDC, and least-privilege design.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose production issues using logs, audit trails, and IAM policy state.
• Experience working directly with product owners and application developers to gather requirements and create technical documentation.
• Strong written communication skills for creating design rationale, review findings, and handoff documentation.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
