Cloud Automation & Governance Engineer

Your Role

• Cloud Automation & Platform Architecture
• Design, build, and operate maintainable, reusable, and observable cloud platforms and self-service workflows using Python, cloud APIs, and event-driven patterns. Replace one-off scripts with enterprise solutions across large, multi-account, and multi-region AWS environments (including cross-account access and account lifecycles). Establish operational ownership, testing, documentation, release management, and rollback standards.
• AWS Technical Leadership & Security
• Serve as the principal SME for AWS architecture, governance, and core services (IAM, Organizations, EventBridge, EC2, S3, billing, and cross-account roles). In partnership with InfoSec, define and enforce security guardrails, privileged access controls, resource policies, account hygiene, regional/service restrictions, and exception workflows. Debug complex production issues involving IAM, networking, bucket policies, and cross-service integrations while evaluating new AWS capabilities for platform enablement.
• GitOps, CI/CD & Delivery Automation
• Implement auditable, version-controlled GitOps and CI/CD pipelines using pull requests, peer reviews, branching strategies, and progressive delivery. Integrate security, cost, compliance, policy-as-code, secrets management, and automated testing directly into the software delivery lifecycle. Eliminate toil via event-driven remediation, scheduled automation, clear runbooks, and strict environment separation.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management
• Lead the architectural design, module creation, and lifecycle management for IaC using Terraform (with exposure to Pulumi or similar). Standardize multi-account/multi-cloud state management, provider configurations, and drift detection while enforcing code-review discipline and safe state-change practices. Rationalize platform tooling to eliminate brittle or duplicative automation.
• Multi-Cloud Governance & FinOps
• Drive a unified governance, visibility, and cost-optimization model across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Normalize cloud billing/usage data into actionable reporting models for business, finance, and engineering stakeholders. Automate rightsizing, savings commitment strategies, tagging compliance, and waste reduction—balancing cost efficiency against reliability, security, and developer speed.
• What You Will Bring
• 7+ years of professional experience operating or engineering cloud infrastructure in AWS.
• Demonstrated proficiency in AWS IAM, Organizations, account and access patterns, EC2, S3, EventBridge, and cloud APIs.
• Strong hands-on experience with GitOps and DevOps practices, including version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and production change management.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code experience, especially Terraform.
• Strong automation and scripting ability in Python, Go, or a comparable language.
• At least working knowledge of GCP and Azure governance, IAM, resource organization, billing, and automation concepts.

• Work Arrangement: Hybrid: This role operates in a hybrid capacity, blending the benefits of remote work with the advantages of in-person collaboration. For most roles, that will mean coming into an office a minimum of 3 days per week, however certain roles and/or teams may require more frequent in-office presence. Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.
