Description
• Architect and manage highly available, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure across multi-cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP). • Design and implement cloud-based solutions that align with best practices for performance, security, and cost-efficiency. • Manage cloud resources, including virtual machines, containers, databases, networking, and storage, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible to automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources. • Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines to streamline the deployment process, ensuring fast and reliable application releases. • Automate routine operational tasks, such as monitoring, scaling, and backups, to improve efficiency and reduce manual intervention. • Set up comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to proactively identify and resolve potential issues before they impact users. • Lead incident response efforts, including root cause analysis and remediation, to minimize downtime and ensure a stable environment. • Continuously optimize cloud infrastructure for cost-effectiveness and performance, identifying and eliminating bottlenecks. • Implement and enforce cloud security best practices, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and network security. • Ensure the cloud environment complies with industry standards and regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) through the implementation of security controls and audits. • Regularly perform security assessments and vulnerability scans to maintain a secure cloud environment. • Work closely with software engineering, DevOps, and security teams to ensure seamless integration of cloud infrastructure with applications and services. • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, sharing best practices and guiding them in their professional development. • Collaborate with product management and other stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into scalable cloud solutions. • Stay up to date with the latest cloud technologies and trends and evaluate their applicability to our environment. • Lead initiatives to improve cloud infrastructure, adopting new tools and processes to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability. • Contribute to the development and documentation of cloud operations policies, procedures, and best practices.
Requirements
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. • 10+ years of experience in cloud operations, cloud engineering, or a similar role, with a focus on managing large-scale, production cloud environments. • Proven experience with multi-cloud environments, particularly AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. • Expertise in cloud infrastructure management and automation tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef). • Strong knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes). • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and related tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI). • Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as Python, Bash, or Go. • Deep understanding of networking concepts, cloud security practices, and identity management (IAM). • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex cloud infrastructure issues. • Excellent communication skills, capable of conveying technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Leadership abilities with a track record of mentoring and guiding engineering teams.
