Position Summary

Werelooking for a Cloud Infrastructure/Platform Engineer to build and maintain an OS/container image pipeline across a hybrid cloud ecosystem. Support the operation ofa secure scalable cloud landing zone and platform foundations.Youlldefine and automate governance using policy-as-code create reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) libraries and enable teams through CI/CD pipelines andGitOpspractices. You should bring deep hands-onexpertisein at least one major cloud (Azure or AWS preferred) withadditionalexperience in GCP OCI or IBM Cloud as a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Support golden image pipeline/image factory to support multi-cloud and data center Linux and Windows ecosystem including image hardening against CIS and STIG benchmarks.

• Design build andoperatecloud landing zones (multi-account/subscription org structure network identity logging security baselines).

• Implementgovernance and guardrails using policy-as-code (e.g. Azure Policy AWS Organizations/SCPs OPA/Conftest) including exception handling and auditability.

• Deliver an infrastructure platform as a product to the internal development community.

• Develop reusableIaCmodules/libraries (Terraform primary; Bicep/ARM and CloudFormation also valued) and promote standard patterns for teams.

• Build andmaintainCI/CD pipelines for infrastructure OS Images containersand platform components usingGitOpsworkflows (PR-based changes automated validation progressive delivery).

• Standardize environments (dev/test/prod) with consistent controls tagging/metadata and cost management guardrails.

• Embed security and compliance into build/deploy:secret handling encryption IAM least privilege vulnerability scanning and evidence generation.

• Observability and SRE practices: implement monitoring/alerting and dashboards support incident response and help define/track SLIs/SLOs for platform services.

• Collaborate in an agile delivery model;participatein planning refinement and execution (SAFeexperience is a bonus).

Required Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience engineering cloud infrastructure onone or more ofAzureAWS and GCP(architecture implementation).

• Strongproficiencywith Infrastructure as Code (Terraform primary; Bicep/ARM and CloudFormation).

• Proven experience implementing landing zones / foundational cloud platforms (identity network shared services governance).

• Experience with policy-as-code and automated compliance (e.g. Azure Policy AWS Config SCPs OPA/Conftest).

• CI/CDexpertiseforinfrastructure: pipeline design testing/validation approvals environment promotion drift detection.

• Working knowledge of configuration management/automation in current-state enterprise environments (e.g. Ansible and Puppet).
