- Client is seeking a seasoned Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Developer to join a Platform Engineering team to build and contribute to APIs used to provision and maintain infrastructure components. This role is ideal for a developer who understands the toil of infrastructure and is passionate about removing barriers with automation for fellow engineers.
- Youll lead by example by designing and implementing scalable reusable IaC modules and GitOps workflows that abstract infrastructure complexity and enable self-service capabilities. This is a hands-on leadership role that blends strategic architecture cross-functional collaboration and high-quality code delivery.
In this role you will:
- Lead complex initiatives to develop infrastructure to provide solutions for business applications
- Architect and develop reusable modular Infrastructure as Code (IaC) components using tools like Terraform Pulumi Ansible or Crossplane.
- Design and implement GitOps-driven workflows that enable automated provisioning deployment and lifecycle management of cloud infrastructure.
- Build and maintain self-service platform capabilities that empower developers to manage infrastructure independently through intuitive interfaces and APIs.
- Lead the integration of infrastructure automation with tools such as ArgoCD Kubernetes and Backstage to streamline developer experience.
- Define and enforce infrastructure standards and golden paths that promote consistency security and scalability.
- Collaborate with platform security and application teams to align infrastructure automation with business and engineering goals.
- Participate in architecture reviews code reviews and mentor other engineers on best practices in infrastructure automation.
- Continuously evaluate and improve the performance reliability and maintainability of infrastructure tooling and workflows.

- 3 years of experience with GitOps principles and experience with tools like ArgoCD or Flux
- 2 years of experience with Kubernetes container orchestration and hybrid cloud platforms (AWS Azure GCP)
- 2 years of experience with designing and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating infrastructure automation into platform services
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with Crossplane or other control plane abstraction tools
- Familiarity with developer portals (e.g. Backstage) and CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with service mesh technologies (e.g. Istio Linkerd)
- Exposure to image management tools like Packer or Image Builder
- Background in building platform engineering solutions that support cloud-native development and service ownership
- Knowledge of observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus Grafana ELK Stack)
- A developer-first mindset with a passion for reducing friction and improving engineering productivity
