Staff Cloud Engineer

Own and evolve cloud infrastructure and platform systems, ensuring scalability, security, and operational excellence across multi-account AWS environments. Build automation and self-service capabilities that reduce developer friction and improve deployment speed and reliability.

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform and Terragrunt, focusing on modularity, consistency, and drift reduction.
• Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines and deployment systems to enable safe, efficient, and automated releases.
• Build internal platform tooling and automation to improve developer experience and reduce operational overhead.
• Own infrastructure domains including networking, IAM, secrets management, compute, and observability.
• Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to improve incident response and system visibility.
• Support compliance and security requirements including SOC2 readiness and audit alignment.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve system reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across cloud environments.
• Drive infrastructure modernization, including architectural improvements and legacy system migrations.
• Lead initiatives to optimize cloud spend without compromising performance or velocity.
• Mentor engineers and elevate engineering standards across infrastructure and platform practices.

Requirements:

Strong senior-level cloud engineering background with deep expertise in AWS, infrastructure-as-code, and production-scale systems. You bring both software engineering depth and infrastructure operational excellence, with the ability to influence technical direction across teams.

• 8+ years of experience building and operating production-grade AWS infrastructure in multi-account environments.
• Strong expertise in Terraform and infrastructure-as-code patterns at scale (Terragrunt strongly preferred).
• Solid software engineering skills with experience writing production-quality code in Python, TypeScript, Bash, or similar.
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent).

• Experience supporting production databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB.
• Familiarity with SOC2 compliance, audits, and secure infrastructure practices.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and influence engineering standards across teams.
• Strong communication skills and ability to drive clarity in ambiguous, high-impact environments.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) as part of daily workflows.
• Experience safely evaluating and operationalizing AI-generated infrastructure or code in production settings.
• Bonus: experience with internal developer platforms, containerized workloads (ECS, Fargate, Docker), or FinOps practices.
