As a Senior Cloud Engineer, you will design and implement solutions for complex, large-scale systems. You will collaborate across teams to deliver innovative, reliable cloud infrastructure while maintaining a strong focus on scalability, security, and cost efficiency. This role offers opportunities to lead technical initiatives and continuously enhance your expertise.

Responsibilities:

• Design and Build Cloud Infrastructure: Develop and maintain secure, scalable cloud platforms, ensuring cloud governance and operational efficiency.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Manage and automate cloud infrastructure using tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.
• Kubernetes and Container Orchestration: Deploy, monitor, and manage containerized workloads in Kubernetes environments (e.g., EKS, GKE).
• Cloud Security and Governance: Implement cloud governance frameworks, monitor security configurations, and manage role-based access and compliance controls.
• Automation and CI/CD: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate software deployment, reduce manual effort, and increase system reliability.
• Networking and Connectivity: Configure and troubleshoot cloud networking components, such as VPCs, transit gateways, routing, and proxies.
• Monitoring and Optimization: Enhance platform performance, reliability, and cost efficiency by implementing robust monitoring and optimization strategies.
• Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to align infrastructure solutions with business needs, translating technical concepts into actionable insights.
• Incident Response: Troubleshoot and resolve complex cloud-related issues, ensuring minimal downtime and efficient incident management.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay current with advancements in cloud technologies, containerization, and platform engineering to drive continuous innovation and improvements.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
