About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join our infrastructure and platform engineering team. In this role, you will own the design, deployment, and operation of scalable, secure, and highly available cloud-native systems on AWS. You will work closely with application engineers, security, and DevOps teams to build the backbone that powers our production workloads with a strong focus on Kubernetes orchestration, AWS core services, and automation.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments and brings both architectural thinking and deep implementation experience.
What You’ll Do
- Design, deploy, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS using services including EKS, KMS, S3, EC2, IAM, VPC, RDS, and CloudWatch.
- Architect and manage Kubernetes clusters (Amazon EKS), including node group management, workload scheduling, autoscaling, networking (CNI, ingress), and cluster upgrades.
- Build and maintain secure, reusable infrastructure using Terraform writing modular, version-controlled IaC for environments across dev, staging, and production.
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or equivalent) to automate build, test, deployment, and rollback workflows.
- Enforce cloud security best practices KMS key management, IAM least-privilege policies, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging.
- Monitor system health, performance, and cost using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting frameworks; drive incident response and root cause analysis.
- Automate operational tasks and infrastructure configuration using Python and Groovy/ scripting.
- Collaborate with application teams to define cloud architecture patterns, review infrastructure pull requests, and establish engineering standards.
- Drive cloud cost optimization efforts through right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, and resource lifecycle management.
- Mentor junior cloud and DevOps engineers, lead architecture reviews, and contribute to evolving cloud best practices across the organization.
Must-Have Skills
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS core services:
- Amazon EKS – cluster provisioning, managed node groups, Fargate profiles, RBAC, pod security
- AWS KMS – key policies, envelope encryption, key rotation, integration with S3/EBS/Secrets Manager
- Amazon S3 – bucket policies, versioning, lifecycle rules, replication, VPC endpoints, encryption
- EC2, IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudWatch, Lambda, API Gateway, Route 53
- Deep Kubernetes expertise – production cluster operations, Helm chart development, network policies, persistent storage, horizontal/vertical pod autoscaling, and multi-tenant workload management.
- Proven experience designing and managing secure, production-grade cloud architectures at scale.
- Strong understanding of cloud security principles – identity management, network segmentation, data protection, and compliance frameworks.
Good-to-Have Skills
- Terraform – writing modular IaC, managing state (remote backends, workspaces), and enforcing policy-as-code with Sentinel or OPA.
- CI/CD experience – building and maintaining pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or ArgoCD for automated deployments and GitOps workflows.
- Python scripting – automating infrastructure tasks, building internal tooling, Lambda functions, and cloud operations scripts.
- Groovy/ scripting – Jenkins pipeline DSL, Bash automation for deployment and operational workflows.
What You’ll Bring
- 6+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps roles with at least 3 years focused on AWS.
- 3+ years of hands-on Kubernetes experience in production environments (EKS preferred).
- Strong communication skills – able to explain architectural trade-offs clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams with a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field – or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Certifications
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional
- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
- HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate
